Ідол

Ідол (Idol) is a term derived from the Greek word “eidolon,” which refers to an image or representation of a deity or a revered figure. In modern usage, an idol can refer to a person or a figure who is greatly admired, venerated, or worshipped, often in contexts such as music, sports, or popular culture. Idols can represent ideals or qualities that individuals aspire to, and they often hold significant influence over their followers. The term can also relate to a physical object, such as a statue or figurine, that is worshipped or regarded with affection. In a broader cultural context, “idol” can signify the concept of idol worship, where followers devote their admiration and loyalty to a specific figure, embodying their aspirations or values.
