What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.

There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.

the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”

a couple of points:

Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
