What is the Greek word for twilight?

There isn't one single perfect Greek word for "twilight." The best choice depends on the nuance you want to convey:

* Λυκόφως (Lykophōs): This is probably the closest single word. It literally means "wolf-light," referring to the time when wolves are said to be active. It specifically refers to the period of twilight.

* You could also use descriptive phrases, like:

* Η ώρα του λυκόφωτος (I ōra tou lykophōtos): "The hour of twilight"

* Το σούρουπο (To souroupo): This word means "dusk" or "eventide," and is a common and versatile term encompassing the twilight period.

So, while λυκόφως (Lykophōs) is the most direct equivalent, σουρουπο (souroupo) is a perfectly acceptable and frequently used alternative.
