Exegesis
The acclamation megale he Artemis Ephesion {Μεγάλη ἡ Ἄρτεμις Ἐφεσίων | Me-gá-lē hē Ár-te-mis E-phe-sí-ōn} is structured as a predicate adjective construction, with the adjective ‘great’ placed first for emphasis and the article marking ‘Artemis of the Ephesians’ as the subject. This word order highlights the greatness attributed to the deity and reflects a fixed cultic slogan. In translation, the participles are rendered as temporal clauses (“when they heard,” “had become”) to produce natural English while preserving the sequence of hearing, becoming enraged, and then shouting, and the chant is kept as a formal, set phrase to convey its liturgical, crowd-chant character.
