Headword: *eu)ru/opa
Adler number: epsilon,3726
Translated headword: far-seeing
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] large-eyed, or large-voiced.
The nominative [is] eu)ru/wy.[1]
Greek Original:
*eu)ru/opa: megalo/fqalmon, h)\ megalo/fwnon. h( eu)qei=a eu)ru/wy.
Notes:
The headword is found mainly (from Homer onwards) as an epithet of Zeus. This entry hedges its bets between the two possible etymologies of it (see LSJ s.v.); modern scholarship has not eliminated either but tends to the first.
[1] In Homer and elsewhere the present headword itself, eu)ru/opa, is sometimes used as a nominative (and vocative); for an instance see under alpha 2371 = tau 1133; but it is also used as an accusative (as indeed is implicit in the glosses here), theoretically implying the nominative given (only) here.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; epic; mythology; poetry; religion
