Meaning of œcumene | Babel Free
Examples
“About each pole stretches a dead and frozen zone; the southern and northern hemispheres have⟳ each a temperate zone, with the same changes of seasons, but not occurring at the same (but opposite) times; the north temperate zone is the seat of the Œcumene (οἰκουμένη), or Inhabited World; the south temperate zone is also inhabited by the Antichthones or Antipodes, but about these people we know⟳ nothing, because between us and them there intervenes the burning zone, which it is impossible to cross.”
