Headword: *)/oneiar
Adler number: omicron,333
Translated headword: dream
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[o)/neiar means the same as] o)/neiron.[1]
"Ah great famous dream of the wise son of Battos: verily you were of horn and not of ivory." Instead of [using the word a)lhqh/s] 'true'; from the Homeric [saying], "for there are two gates of fleeting dreams."[2]
Greek Original:
*)/oneiar: o)/neiron. a)= me/ga *battia/dao sofou= peri/puston o)/neiar: h)= r(' e)teo\n kera/wn, ou)d' e)le/fantos e)/hs. a)nti\ tou= a)lhqh/s: para\ to\ *(omhriko/n: doiai\ ga/r te pu/lai a)menhnw=n ei)sin o)nei/rwn.
Notes:
[1] The headword, illustrated by the quotation given, is an epic/poetic variant of o)/nar (omicron 326).
[2] Greek Anthology 7.42.1-2 (Diodorus); Homer, Odyssey 19.562. For the equivalence of e)teo/s and a)lhqh/s, see epsilon 3285. Callimachus was the son of Battos (see kappa 227), and his famous dream of the Muses is related in his Aitia.
