Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ἀναγνώρισις (anagnṓrisis).

lbor

Det tredje ledet, anagnorisis, återuppståndelsen eller igenkännande som vid årsfesterna symboliseras av att trädet med sin nyutspruckna lövprakt bärs in som bevis på att livet ännu en gång återvänt, omtalas ofast enbart i mysteriespelen och ageras inte ut.

1986, Gunilla Domellöf, “Kapitel IV. Karin Boye och prosamodernismen”, in I oss är en mångfald levande, page 221:

The third element, anagnorisis, the resurrection, or recognition, which is symbolized at the annual festivals by the tree being carried in with its newly sprung foliage as evidence that life has once again returned, is most often mentioned only in the mystery plays and is not acted out.

I slutet får vi bevittna hur Fjalar, då han på höjden av sin självtillit får veta sanningen om sina barns öde, når fram till insikt om sin egen identitet. Detta sker genom yttre »anagnorisis», i Hjalmars berättelse, men främst genom inre: Avklädd sin rustning kommer Fjalar till insikt om sin maktlöshet. »Anagnorisis» kommer tematiskt och strukturellt också till uttryck som ett förhållande mellan att se och att inse.

2004, Kjell-Arne Brändström, et al., “Kung Fjalar. Kommentar av Kjell-Arne Brändström”, in Samlade skrifter XII:2, page 294:

In the end, we witness how Fjalar, when at the height of his self-confidence, learns the truth about his children's fate and comes to realize his own identity. This occurs through an outer "anagnorisis," in Hjalmar's narrative, but primarily through inner revelation: Stripped of his armor, Fjalar becomes aware of his powerlessness. "Anagnorisis" thematically and structurally also expresses a relationship between seeing and realizing.

Jag är en av dom som slavar på kung Keops pyramid, och det är vi som jobbar nere intill foten. Vi sliter och vi svettas för att inte tappa tid, och det är synd om dom som inte fyller kvoten. Har man en gång kommit hit blir man aldrig mera fri. Om man slutar här så slutar man i gropen. Men om kungen sägs att han är son av solen.

1972, Hoola Bandoola Band (lyrics and music), “Keops pyramid [Cheops' pyramid / Great Pyramid of Giza]”, in Vem kan man lita på? [Who can you trust?]:

I am one of those slaving [sounds more natural in Swedish] on King Cheops' pyramid, and it is we who work down next to the foot. We toil and we sweat to not lose time, and it is a pity for ["it is a shame about" in the sense of "one feels sorry for," roughly] those who do not meet the quota. Once you are here you will never again be free [If one has once come here becomes one never again free]. If you end up here you end up in the pit. But of the king is said that he is the son of the sun.

Vad du är snäll, min kära lilla häst. Du säger ingenting, min kära lilla ponny, men du är den jag gillar bäst! Se pälsen den är svart liksom kappan på en präst. Kappan, kappan, kappan på en präst.

You don't say anything [or, "you say nothing" – both are idiomatically expressed the same way], my dear little pony, but you're the one I like the most [best]! Look, the coat [fur] is black like the coat of [on] a priest. The coat, the coat, the coat of [on] a priest. A nose as soft as velvet, [that] has my little horse. Has my little horse. How cute you ... [as before]. My pony knows so well that on Saturday there is a party ["on Saturday there is party" – implies every Saturday here]. Saturday, Saturday, Saturday there is a party. A manger full of oats, [that] gets my little horse. Gets my little horse. How cute you ... [as before]. Out of everything [here] in the world, I wish the very most – wish the, wish the, wish the very most – that never I shall be parted from my little horse ["ska" usually doesn't match "shall" in tone, but the phrasing here is pretty literary anyway].
