Greek display:    
Headword: *(oplo/teros
Adler number: omicron,469
Translated headword: younger, rather young
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
It is applied to both in Homer, [i.e.] both as comparative and as absolute.[1] [Homer writes] "of the younger Graces," since Homer assumes two generations of Graces, an elder and a younger. For this reason he says "younger" comparatively.[2]

Notes:
See generally LSJ s.v. on this headword (and its etymology, reckoned to be connected with the bearing of arms; cf. generally omicron 465).
[1] Similarly elsewhere, e.g. Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon (121.34).
[2] cf. scholia A (Aristonicus) on Homer, Iliad 14.267, where the quoted phrase occurs (web address 1).
