Headword: *)amu/nths
Adler number: alpha,1681
Translated headword: defender
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[*)amu/nths] and a)lkh/sths ["brave man"]: the terms [are] tragic and Aeschylean.
Greek Original:
*)amu/nths kai\ *)alkh/sths, tragika\ kai\ *ai)sxulhra\ ta\ o)no/mata.
Notes:
Same entry in Photius; also Phrynichus, Praeparatio sophistica fr. 175.
Neither word -- the first a favourite of Herodotus' -- actually occurs in what survives of Aeschylus. They have, nevertheless, been registered as adespota of his. Note, however, that the adjective *ai)sxulhro/s (as opposed to *ai)xu/leios) occurs only here, and Reitzenstein suggested emending *ai)sxulhra/ to sklhra/ ("harsh").
