Answer 1

Latin alphabet? Do you mean greek? Latin uses almost the same alphabet as we do. The only differences are there is no U, only a V, the romans didn't use spaces, and they didn't use vowels. What word do you need? I speak some latin, so let me know and I can probally translate it for you. I'll star this and come back and check.


First and foremost, Latin and Greek are two entirely seprate and unrelated languages. I don't know Greek, but I know some latin. It roman times, it would've been written just like it is now, most of the time as "Fatum", or in some cases, as "Ftm". It was common for Romans to leave out the vowels because writing materials were scarce. They generally used linen scrolls or papyrus for permenant documents, and wax tablets for scratch paper. Any of the following words would've been written almost exactly the same way in Roman times as they would now. Just exchange "U" for "V" and take out the spaces and the vowels.

Fatum isn't really the best translation. Its sort of a morbid translation. Its related to the english word "Fatal", and along with fate, can also mean death, calamity or disaster.

"Fate" can also be translated as "Sortis", which means 'your lot in life', "Fortuna", which is simply your fortune or luck, "Casus", which is an accidental fate, "Parca", which is one of the goddesses of fate, so talking about your Partis means you are taking about the fate she gave you, or "Colus", which means the threads of your life that spell out your fate.

"Destiny" can be translated similarly to fate, but it has a few seperate words. It can be translated to "Genes, or Genesis", meaning destiny or birth (Or even your astrological symbol..weird, eh? your genes are your sign), "Constitutio", which is also translated as "decree" (think constitution), or "Fataliter", which means "by destiny, or by decree of fate" (sort of like "your destiny is written").

Hope that helps- I can't help you with translating them to greek! As far as i know, Fortuna is the most common translation. Let me know if you need to know anything else.

Answer 2

I think that the word you want is "sors". That is the word for fate or destiny and it has survived in the modern Romance languages (sort, suerte, sorte).

The Romans used an alphabet adapted from the Greek and their writing was much like ours, only using capital letters and writing "u" as "v".

There are online Latin dictionaries for you to use to look things up. http://www.italatin.com/latin.html
