Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of withdrawing or departing was often associated with making space for others, whether in a physical sense or in terms of social or political dynamics. The act of stepping aside could be seen as an act of humility or deference, allowing others to take precedence or to avoid conflict.
