Notes
- From the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 1.115, where this present participle of the epic verb
o)/ssomai is used (of Telemachos daydreaming about his father's return): see web address 1. (There is another instance in Iliad 1.105.) For this sense of it, see generally LSJ s.v., II.
This verb comes from the root *okw-, which supplies the futureo)/yomai foro(ra/w .
