Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword is in the accusative case, evidently quoted from somewhere (probably Hesiod: see next note). Same or similar glosses in other lexica; references at Photius upsilon122 Theodoridis. ↩
  2. 2Actually there is a distinction between the titan Hyperion (see Hesiod, Theogony 134 [web address 1] and Diodorus Siculus 5.67) and his son Helios, i.e. the Sun. For 'Hyperionides' see e.g. Homer, Odyssey 12.176 (web address 2). ↩
