Usage: The verb μηνύω (ménuó) is used in the context of revealing or disclosing information, often with the connotation of making something known that was previously hidden or secret. It implies an intentional act of communication, often for the purpose of informing or warning others.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of revealing or disclosing information was significant in both legal and social contexts.
