Search results for epsilon,749 in Adler number:
Greek display:    

Headword: *)ela/teiran
Adler number: epsilon,749
Translated headword: charioteeress, (female) driver
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning one] capable of driving away.
Greek Original:
*)ela/teiran: a)pelastikh/n.
Notes:
Same entry in Photius and elsewhere, but a problematic one. The headword is ostensibly the feminine accusative singular of e)lath/r (epsilon 750, epsilon 751), quoted from somewhere most likely to be Pindar fr.89a Snell-Maehler (qoa=n i(/ppwn e)la/teiran, a phrase apparently referring to Artemis). On the other hand:
(a) This same accusative singular also occurs, in a figurative sense (e.g. driving away falsehood), in Christian writers such as John of Damascus and Dionysius the Areopagite.
(b) Lexica Segueriana 215.21 has (in this alphabetical position) the ungrammatical entry e)lath=ra: a)pelatikh/n.
Keywords: Christianity; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; gender and sexuality; imagery; mythology; religion; women; zoology
