Kephale (Head / Source — The Origin That Gives Rise to the Flow)

EN — Transliteration: kephalé

Designates the head in an anatomical sense, and by extension origin or source in classical Greek literature. Patriarchal theology translated it exclusively as 'head/chief' to justify the submission of woman to man and believer to ecclesiastical authority — deliberately ignoring the meaning of 'source'.

📖 Réf. : Mt 5:36 | 1 Cor 11:3 | 1 Cor 11:10 | Eph 1:22 | Eph 4:15 | Eph 5:23 | Col 1:18 | Col 2:10 | Col 2:19

Kephale (κεφαλή) does not only mean 'authoritative chief'. In classical Greek, it is also the source of a river — the origin that gives birth and nourishes, not the summit of a pyramid of domination.
