Earlier Famous Usage

According to the Wikipedia article on [Domitius Corbulo], "Axios" is Corbulo's response to Emperor Nero's command that Corbulo commit suicide, just prior to falling on his sword. According to the reference cited in the article, "Axios" means "I have it coming."

Another source gives the same [presumably] historical details and translates it as "deserved."

In any event, I think both the history and the other translations should be included in this article. Ileanadu (talk) 23:21, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

this is definatly worthy of mention as especially with halo coming back out the tale of corbulo replying with axios "i am worthy" is becoming more well known.152.91.9.153 (talk) 20:57, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously wrong

If one of Nero's generals used the expression as is historically known, then obviously it was an established feature in a pre-Christian classical European context, apparently Greek of some kind. That meaning has apparently been lost in this article but doubtless is readily available from classical studies sources. 198.255.198.157 (talk) 04:26, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
