Aristophanes [writes]: "you would no longer find a genuine poet."[1] That is, someone natural and not contrived, or someone creative. "[...] who will pronounce something audacious like this: 'Aether, house of Zeus,' or 'foot of time', or 'mind unwilling to swear against what is holy, but the tongue forswearing separately from the mind.'"
Euripides [writes]: "I swear by holy Aether, the dwelling of Zeus."[2] But [out] of
Alexander: "and time's foot was stepping forward."[3] And out of
Euripides'
Hippolytus: "the tongue swore, but the mind [was] unsworn."[4]

Notes:
The headword, though appropriately translatable as an adjective, is in fact the perfect middle/passive participle (neuter singular) of the verb
parakinduneu/w.
