What is a Pastor?

Concepts: Animal; Occupation; Official, Religious; Ruler
Greek Literature
The noun ποιμήν (prob.
related to Sansk.
pāyú-, “protector” [Frisk 2:573]) is found already in Mycenaean (po-me-ne), and it is used freq. in Homer, both lit.
(meaning “herdsman” of either sheep or cattle) and fig.
(meaning “leader”).
Subsequently the lit.
use refers specifically to shepherds (not to cattlemen), and the fig.
use continues, being applied broadly; e.g., ποιμὴν λόχου means the captain of a military troop, Eurip.
Phoen.
1140); political rulers are ὥσπερ ποιμένων πόλεως, “like shepherds of a city” (Plato Resp.
440d); even a storm, which one might say leads ships astray, may be described as an “evil shepherd” (Aesch.
Ag. 657).
It is of interest that a parallel was drawn between human shepherds (both lit.
and fig.) and the divine shepherd (Plato Pol.
271e, 275b–c).
The derived vb.
ποιμαίνω is found a handful of times in Homer, always in the lit.
sense of herding flocks; as early as Pindar, however, it is used fig., taking on such nuances as “to guide” and “to cherish.”
The noun ποίμνη, “flock,” occurs only once in Homer (Od.
9.122, apparently with ref. to goats; see line 118); later it is sometimes applied to human beings, who are herded by kings and statesmen (e.g., Plato Pol.
257c).
The diminutive form ποίμνιον, first attested in the 5th cent.
BC, appears to be used with the same meaning as ποίμνη (cf.
id.
Resp.
416a).
Various other derivatives and compounds are attested.
The image of the shepherd appears in Gk. poetry, as typified by Theocritus’s Idyllia (3rd cent.
BC).
