Exegesis

In the speech, Deuro {Δεῦρο | Deû-ro} ‘come here’ is an urgent summons, followed by the future deixo {δείξω | deí-xō} ‘I will show’, which heads the content clause introduced by the accusative to krima tes pornēs tes megales {τὸ κρίμα τῆς πόρνης τῆς μεγάλης | tò krí-ma tês pór-nēs tês me-gá-lēs}.

The phrase tes kathemenes epi hydaton pollon {τῆς καθημένης ἐπὶ ὑδάτων πολλῶν | tês ka-thē-mé-nēs e-pí hy-dá-tōn pol-lôn} uses a genitive participle for continued position (‘seated’) and epi + genitive to express her dominion or placement over the waters. English renders these chains through relative clauses and prepositional phrases to maintain the hierarchical and descriptive nuances.
