Sentences with STAUROS (5)
WAS THE _STAUROS_ OF JESUS CROSS-SHAPED? In the thousand and one works supplied for our information upon matters connected with the history of our race, we are told that Alexander the Great, Titus, and various Greek, Roman, and Oriental rulers of ancient days, "crucified" this or that person; or that they "crucified" so many at once, or during their reign.
Moreover, even if we could prove that this very common mode of capital punishment was in no case that referred to by the historians who lived in bygone ages, and that death was in each instance caused by affixion to, instead of transfixion by, a stauros, we should still have to prove that each stauros had a cross-bar before we could correctly describe the death caused by it as death by crucifixion.
Now the Greek word which in Latin versions of the New Testament is translated as _crux_, and in English versions is rendered as _cross, i.e._, the word _stauros_, seems to have, at the beginning of our era, no more meant a cross than the English word stick means a crutch.
What the ancients used to signify when they used the word _stauros_, can easily be seen by referring to either the Iliad or the Odyssey.[1] It will there be found to clearly signify an ordinary pole or stake without any cross-bar.
That this last named kind of stauros, which was admittedly that to which Jesus was affixed, had in every case a cross-bar attached, is untrue; that it had in most cases, is unlikely; that it had in the case of Jesus, is unproven.
