Notes (1)
- Headword and glossing phrase are dative singular, the former extracted from the quotation given (see n. 1), where it refers to the character Odysseus.
The headword is a compound of Greek elements which, transcribed literally, would mean "all-doing". This is spelled out in the first gloss in synonymous terms. The later gloss translated as "mischief-making" is simply the same compound as it is more commonly spelled (pa/nourgos vs. the headword'spa/ntourgos ). - 1Sophocles, Ajax 445-6 (web address 1), with comments from the scholia. ↩
