Headword:
*deino/n
Adler number: delta,340
Translated headword: terrible
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "It is terrible, O stranger, to awaken the evil that has been lying quiet for a long time" -- that is, to awaken and stir up things which happened unfortunately a long time ago. Nevertheless I desire to know the cause of your disability.[1]
And
Callimachus [writes]: "Why do you awaken a sleeping tear"?[2]
Aristophanes [writes]: "it is terrible for the spirit of a man to be so unripe that he throws and cries and doesn't want to hear anything bringing equal to equal." Meaning raw and harsh; figuratively from unripe grapes. For this is what the clusters are called when they are sour and not yet ripe. Contrariwise, that which is ripe and sweet [is called]
pe/panos. [They say]
o)/mfakas in the feminine. And
Plato the comic poet in his play
Festivals [writes]: "relax your eyebrows and your grapes." Bringing equal to equal means just and fair, from a metaphor of wine mixed equally with water. He says to speak and hear equally.[3]
And elsewhere: "men knowing how to eat and powerful of belly -- I mean of course Kleisophoses and Therons and Strouthiases and Chairephons."[4]
