Ἐλατήρ

broad-cake

[Meaning] a flat pastry like a cake; hence its name [e)lath/r], from being driven [e)lau/nesqai] with the hands into flatness. Or a hollow loaf of bread, in which they used to put the bean soup and bring it to the…

α1842ἈναγυράσιοςAnagyrasian… Rhodes (C3 BCE) fr. 32 Wehrli = 42A White. [7] Euripides' play is lost, but see Apollodorus 3.13.8: P. was blinded by his father Amyntor after Phthia, Amyntor's concubine, falsely accused him of having …Matched in noteshighmedium

α4084ἈρχέλαοςArchelaos, Archelaus… association of Archelaos, Anaxagoras, and/or Socrates with the education of Euripides, however, strains chronology perhaps too much. [4] Nothing of Archelaos' writings survive except one fragment, "coldness is the connection" (presumably which holds the …Matched in noteshighmedium

δ181Δεκατεύεινto pay a tithe… Suda ought to have a separate entry for deka/th. [6] Euripides fr.5 Jouan and van Looy. [7] That is, both literally picked up by the father and thereby symbolically acknowledged by him. [8] Aristotle, …Matched in noteshighmedium

α1654Ἀμπλάκημαfailure… other lexica. Latte on Hesychius s.v. considers it quoted from Euripides, Phoenician Women 23; it is certainly tragedic vocabulary. [2] Again, same equivalence in other lexica, including Photius. The noun in question has now …Matched in noteshighmedium

α4250Ἀστράγαλοςknucklebone, astragal… throws, some with colourful names, Stesichorus (4, 4, 1, 1), Euripides (6 x 4 + 4 x 4), basilicus (Suetonius, *Peri\ Paidi/wn 1.18-27, with Taillardat's notes, pp.155-60; Lamer 1946-60). The best known, Venus for …Matched in noteshighmedium

α848Ἀκέσματαremedies… Homer. See in brief OCD(4) p.1177, under Polyeidus(1). Sophocles and Euripides wrote tragedies about him, Aristophanes a comedy. In this story (given in Hyginus, Fabulae 136) Polyidus divined where the body of Glaucus, the …Matched in noteshighmedium

α2190Ἀνδρὸς γέροντος ἀσταφὶς τὸ κρανίονan old man's head is a dried grape… [2] Diogenianus 1.78 & 86. [3] Zenobius 1.90. This proverb (Euripides fr.799a Snell) recurs at epsilon 586, omicroniota 72, and upsilon 300. See generally Tosi [cited under alpha 378] no.438.Matched in noteshighmedium

α2689ἈντιόπηAntiopeSee Apollodorus, Library 3.5.5 (web address 1). Euripides made Antiope the subject of a (lost) tragedy. For Dirce see delta 1266. [1] Sexual "corruption" is meant, as will emerge. In some versions (e.g. Apollodorus) …Matched in noteshighmedium

α2819Ἄξιος λαβεῖν ὁ μισθόςthe wage [is] worth taking… "Sophocles" is a mistake (also in the Synagoge); this is Euripides, Medea 319-320. See web address 3. [5] Zenobius 2.4. Phrynichus, Praeparatio sophistica fr. 228. [6] Aristophanes, Frogs 614 (web address 4). Later proverbial: …Matched in noteshighmedium

α3559Ἀποστολαίdispatches… lexica. It is presumably quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities include Euripides and the Septuagint. [2] Diodorus Siculus 13.67.2 (following Wessling's suntribo/ntwn in place of the MS suntribome/na, and the noun there may be e)mbolai/, …Matched in noteshighmedium

δ1282Διοίσεινto bear through, to differ… that the meaning of dioi/sein is "open" (perhaps connected to Euripides, Bacchae 64, where diafe/rw is used as an equivalent of "tear asunder"); but the sense of jar being "new" (kaino\n) is quite unclear. …Matched in noteshighmedium

χ369ΧόεςChoes, Pitchers… "Pitchers" was the second of its three days. [2] In Euripides, Iphigeneia in Tauris 949, Orestes speaks of a monotrapeza ('individual table') for himself; and Plutarch, Moralia 643A refers to a personal table (trapeza …Matched in noteshighmedium
