Translations: Herod of the devils, Herod of the slanderers, Herod of the accusers
From the root: ΔΙΑΒΟΛΟΣ, ΗΡΩΔΗΣ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a compound word formed by combining the genitive plural of 'διάβολος' (diabolos), meaning 'devil' or 'slanderer', and 'Ἡρῴδης' (Hērōdēs), which is the proper name 'Herod'. The combined form 'ΔΙΑΒΟΛΩΝΗΡΩΔΗΣ' would literally mean 'Herod of the devils' or 'Herod of the slanderers'. It is likely used to describe Herod as being associated with or characterized by the actions of devils or slanderers, perhaps implying he is a slanderer or an adversary himself, or that he is influenced by such forces. It's a descriptive epithet rather than a common name.
