"Prodromou" is a Greek surname, with the rough meaning "the one who walks the road before others".
So him being "a visionary" is fun, lol
If that's the literal translation it's also a bit ironic that he was hit by a truck.
I don't wanna laugh but 😭😭😭
... Yeah it is 🫠🥲
In literal terms it translates to "before-the-road" (pro - drómou)
(this literal translation includes the ambiguity of before- as in 'temporally before', or before- as in 'in front of')
So any way you slice it, it's pretty ironic.
