Headword: *)/aeide
Adler number: alpha,612
Translated headword: sing!
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[a)/eide means the same as] a)|de, [i.e.] speak!
Greek Original:
*)/aeide: a)=|de, le/ge.
Notes:
From the scholia to the famous opening line of Homer, Iliad: "sing, goddess, of the wrath of Peleus' son Achilles" (web address 1 below).
There, as elsewhere, the Homeric form of this imperative is a)/eide. The Attic contracted form is ai)=de. In Attic tragedy, uncontracted forms of the verb occur (poetic archaism) as well as contracted forms.
