Headword: *kau/kwnes
Adler number: kappa,1133
Translated headword: Kaukones, Caucones
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Name of a people.[1]
"... that nearby there are the Homeric Kaukones and Leleges who plot against [people]; but Pelasgians nowhere, or Dians. May I have said this opportunely!"[2]
Greek Original:
*kau/kwnes: o)/noma e)/qnous. e)ggu\s de\ tou\s e)pibouleu/ontas ei)=nai *kau/kwna/s te kai\ *le/legas *(omhrikou/s: *pelasgou\s de\ ou)damou= ou)de\ *di/ous. ei)rh/sqw ga\r e)n kairw=| e)moi\ to/de.
Notes:
The Barrington Atlas places the Kaukones in the NW and W Peloponnese (map 58) and also on the Paphlagonian shore of the Black Sea, between Heraclea and Sinope (map 86).
[1] This and all the other peoples of the entry are mentioned in Homer, Iliad 10.429 (web address 1).
[2] Aelian fr. 280 Domingo-Forasté (282 Hercher). *di/ous is apparently interpreted as another ethnic name, although in Homer it is an epithet ("glorious") of the Pelasgians. For the adverb ou)damou= "nowhere," manuscript F has ou)damw=s "not at all" (reading preferred by Gottfried Hermann); Bernhardy suggested ou)damh= ma\ *di/a "not at all glorious by Zeus!"
