Headword: *)epemh/nato
Adler number: epsilon,2051
Translated headword: went crazy for
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] was crazed for.
Greek Original:
*)epemh/nato: e)pema/nh.
Notes:
= Synagoge epsilon608 (Lexica Segueriana 227.17), Photius epsilon1417.
The most prominent attestation of the headword is Homer, Iliad 6.160 (web address 1), describing the fixation of Anteia, wife of Proitos, for Bellerophon. A scholium to this passage, followed by Hesychius epsilon4398, differs only in that the verb used to gloss the Homeric form does not have the prepositional prefix (e)ma/nh vs. e)pema/nh). In all these lexica the headword and gloss are derived from the same basic verb (mai/nomai, 'rave'); the main difference is that the headword is aorist middle and the gloss in each case is aorist passive. Difference in translation is negligible.
