α25

Ἀβδέλυκτα

unhateful [things]

[Meaning] those which do not cause pollution, at which one would not feel disgust or hatred. The word [is] somewhat tragic. Aeschylus in Myrmidons [writes]: "indeed, for I love them, they are unhateful to me."

Ἀβδέλυκτα· τὰ μὴ μιαίνοντα, ἃ οὐκ ἄν τις βδελυχθείη καὶ δυσχεράνειε. τραγικωτέρα δὲ ἡ λέξις. Αἰσχύλος Μυρμιδόσι· καὶ μὴν, φιλῶ γὰρ, ἀβδέλυκτ' ἐμοὶ τάδε.
