Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: ΚΑΤΑΣΤΡΕΨΑΣΘΑΙ is the aorist middle infinitive form of the verb ΚΑΤΑΣΤΡΕΦΩ. It is a compound word formed from the preposition ΚΑΤΑ (down, against) and the verb ΣΤΡΕΦΩ (to turn). In the active voice, it means 'to overthrow' or 'to destroy'. In the middle voice, as here, it often implies performing the action for oneself or with a personal interest, thus 'to overthrow for oneself', 'to subdue for oneself', or 'to bring to an end for oneself'. It can be used to describe the destruction of cities, the subjugation of enemies, or the completion of tasks.
