The term "κεφαλή" (kephalē) is a Greek word that translates to "head" in English. It refers to the uppermost part of the body in humans and many animals, containing the brain, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. The head plays a crucial role in sensory perception and communication. In a broader context, "κεφαλή" can also refer to the leader or chief of a group, such as a government or organization. This usage highlights the importance of the head as a guiding force, similar to how the head of a body directs its actions and functions.
