“ikeen alla”

under the yoke

“Mutta kamppailtuaan aikansa tämän ieksen poistamiseksi ihmiskunta on palannut lähes aiempaan tilanteeseen; Eurooppa on nykyään rakenteeltaan kuin suurennettu kopio Kreikasta.”

But mankind, having at length thrown off this yoke, affairs are now returned nearly to the same situation as before, and Europe is at present a copy at large, of what Greece was formerly a pattern in miniature.
