The word "ordain" in literature has been used in multifaceted ways to evoke both divine inevitability and deliberate human action. In classical epics like The Iliad, Homer employs it to suggest a fate predestined by the gods or heaven—for instance, the inevitability of death or the unfolding of tragic events ([1], [2], [3], [4]). Meanwhile, Stoic philosophy and meditative works, such as Marcus Aurelius’s reflections, use "ordain" to imply a wise and purposeful design behind all occurrences ([5]). In medieval romances and chivalric narratives, authors like Sir Thomas Malory extend the term to formalize decisions, appointments, or martial ventures, as characters invoke divine or heavenly sanction when making momentous choices ([6], [7], [8]). Additionally, poets such as Alexander Pope and Ben Jonson employ it with a dual sense of natural order and constructed social or legal norms ([9], [10]). These varied applications illustrate how "ordain" has evolved from a marker of inescapable destiny to a versatile term denoting both divine preordination and authoritative human decree in literature.
