Notes
- An epithet in Homer most often applied to Troy (Iliad 3.74, 3.257, 6.315, 16.461, 24.86), but also to Phthia (1.155 [see further below], 9.479) and several other places.
Similar entry in Hesychius and other lexica, and in the scholia on Homer, Iliad 1.155 (where the dative case occurs).
For the intensifing prefix eri- see also epsilon 2978, epsilon 2979, epsilon 2980, epsilon 2988, epsilon 2989, epsilon 2998.
