Exegesis
The main narrative verb ekratesen {ἐκράτησεν | ekrátēsen} “he seized” introduces the decisive action, followed by its object in an expanded noun phrase: ton drakonta {τὸν δράκοντα | tòn drákonta} “the dragon,” further identified appositionally by ho ophis {ὁ ὄφις | ho óphis} “the serpent” and ho archaios {ὁ ἀρχαῖος | ho archaîos} “the ancient one.” These repeated articles and appositional nouns stack titles for the same being, heightening the sense of a well-known, long-standing enemy.
The relative pronoun hos {ὅς | hós} introduces the clause hos estin Diabolos kai ho Satanas {ὅς ἐστιν Διάβολος καὶ ὁ Σατανᾶς | hós estín Diábolos kaí ho Satanâs}, equating this dragon-serpent with “the Devil” and “the Satan,” thus unifying symbolic and personal designations into a single adversary.
