French (Bailly abrégé)

ή, όν :
digne d'admiration, noble, magnifique.
Étymologie: ἀ- augm., R. ΓαϜ, briller.

Russian (Dvoretsky)

ἀγαυός: (досто)славный, прославленный (κήρυκες, μνηστῆρες, πομπῆες, Περσεφόνεια Hom.; Αἰολιδαί Pind.; Πέρσαι Aesch.; Φυλεύς Theocr.).

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

ἀγαυός: -ή, -όν, Παρ’ Ὁμήρῳ σχεδὸν ἀείποτε ἐπὶ βασιλέων ἤ ἡρώων, ἔνδοξος, εὐγενής, ἐπιφανὴς τὴν καταγωγήν, ἀγ. κήρυκες, Ἰλ. Γ. 268· μνηστῆρες, Φαίηκες, Ὀδ.· ἀγαυὴ Περσεφόνεια, Ὀδ. Λ, 213· πομπῆες ἀγαυοὶ = εὐγενεῖς, ἐξαίρετοι ὁδηγοί, Ὀδ. Ν. 71· ὡσαύτως παρὰ Πινδ. Π. 4. 127· καὶ ἅπαξ παρὰ τραγικοῖς, Πέρσαις ἀγαυοῖς, Αἰσχύλ. Πέρσ. 986 (Λυρ.): - Ὑπερθ. -ότατος, Ὀδ. Ο, 229. 2) ὡς κύρ. ὀνόματα, Ἀγαυός, Ἀγαυή, Ἰλ. Ἡσ., οὐχὶ δὲ Ἄγαυος, Ἀγαύη· ἴδε Ἀρκάδ. 45 καὶ 103. Lehrs de Stud. Aristarch. σ. 293. (περὶ τῆς ῥίζης ὅρα γαίω).

English (Autenrieth)

(ἄγαμαι): wondrous; hence, illustrious, high-born, epithet of honor applied to rulers and nations; freq. to the suitors; to the noble πομπηες, Od. 13.71; to Tith<<>*<>>nus, Od. 5.1; and thrice to Persephone.

English (Slater)

ᾰγαυός illustrious, august ἐξ ἀγαυῶν Αἰολιδᾶν (P. 4.72) ἀγαυὸν καλάμῳ συνάγεν θρόον (Pae. 9.36) βασιλῆες ἀγαυοὶ fr. 133. 3.

Greek Monotonic

ἀγαυός: -ή, -όν (α ευφωνικό, γαίω), διαπρεπής, ένδοξος, λαμπρός, ευγενής, σε Όμηρ.· υπερθ. ἀγαυότατος, σε Ομήρ. Οδ.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: admirable, noble (Il.).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Acc. to Schwyzer IF 30, 430ff., Aeolic = ἀγα-Ϝός; perhaps to ἄγαμαι. Ruijgh Lingua 25, 1970, proposes expressive gemination of the F. But a (IE or Greek) suffix -u̯o- is doubtful (Chantr. Form. 124: "le suffixe était mort en grec"); so perhaps the word is Pre-Greek. Differently Curtius 172, Solmsen KZ 29, 111, Burger REIE 1, 447ff.

Middle Liddell

γαίω, illustrious, noble, Hom.; Sup. -ότατος, Od.

Frisk Etymology German

ἀγαυός: {agauós}
Meaning: etwa verehrungswürdig, edel, ep. und poet., späte Prosa, bei Homer immer von Königen und Herren.
Etymology: Nach Schwyzer IF 30, 430ff. (gegen Schulze Q. 64) äolisch = ἀγαϝός; viell. zu ἄγαμαι. Anders Curtius 172, Solmsen KZ 29, 111, Burger REIE 1, 447ff.
