Part of Speech: Noun, Article
Explanation: This is a compound phrase consisting of the definite article 'ΤΗΣ' (tēs) and the noun 'ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΩΣ' (mētropóleōs). 'ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΩΣ' is the genitive singular form of 'ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΙΣ' (mētrópolis), which literally means 'mother city' (from 'μήτηρ' meaning 'mother' and 'πόλις' meaning 'city'). It refers to a chief city, a capital, or a city that was the parent of other colonies. The phrase 'ΤΗΣ ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΩΣ' therefore means 'of the mother city' or 'of the metropolis', indicating possession or origin.
