The most typical ancient Greek term (that is, in Attic Greek, which is typically designated simply as 'ancient Greek') for 'noble' was 'aristos.' This single term carried a wide variety of meanings, including 'noble,' 'rich,' 'educated,' 'virtuous,' 'strong,' and 'admirable.' In the majority of usage-cases, it was to be contrasted with the merely ordinary, the ignorant, the poor, etc.
