Τὸ νικᾶν αὐτὸν αὑτὸν πασῶν νικῶν πρώτη τε καὶ ἀρίστη. Τὸ δὲ ἡττᾶσθαι αὐτὸν ὑφ' ἑαυτοῦ πάντων αἴσχιστόν τε ἅμα καὶ κάκιστον. → Τo conquer yourself is the first and best victory of all, while to be conquered by yourself is of all the most shameful as well as evil

Plato, Laws, 626e

English (LSJ)

ὁ,

   A the East wind (later, as dist. fr. ἀπηλιώτης, ESE.), Il.2.145, Arist.Mete.363b21, Mu.394b20, IG14.1308, etc. (Connected with ἠώς by Gell.2.22.7, with αὔρα by Vitr.1.6.11. Possibly from εὕω, because parching.)

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

Εὖρος: ὁ, ὁ ἀνατολικὸς ἄνεμος ἢ ἀκριβέστερον ΑΝΑ ἄνεμος (πρβλ. ἀπηλιώτης), Λατιν. Eurus, Ἰλ. Β. 145, πρβλ. Ἀριστ. Μετεωρ. 2, 6, 12, π. Κόσμ. 4. 12, Συλλ. Ἐπιγρ. 6180-81. (Πιθανῶς συγγενὲς τῷ ἠώς, αὔως, ἕως, ὁ πρωϊνὸς ἄνεμος ὡς Ζέφυρος συγγενεύει τῷ ζόφος, ὁ ἐσπερινὸς ἄνεμος: πρβλ. ἠώς. Ὁ Κούρτ. ἀναφέρει τὴν λέξιν εἰς τὸ εὔω ἢ εὕω, Σανσκρ. ush, Λατ. uro ἐκ τῆς ξηραντικῆς αὐτοῦ φύσεως, Ἀριστ. Μετεωρ. ἔνθ’ ἀνωτέρω).

French (Bailly abrégé)

ου (ὁ) :
Euros (l’Eurus) vent d’est-sud-est.
Étymologie: p.-ê. apparenté à αὔρα et à ἀήρ, de la R. ἈϜ, souffler ; ou de εὔω, εὕω, brûler « le vent qui brûle ».

English (Autenrieth)

Eurus, the south-east wind, stormy, Il. 2.145, Il. 16.765; but warm enough to melt the snow, Od. 19.206.

Greek Monotonic

Εὖρος: ὁ, ανατολικός άνεμος, Λατ. Eurus, σε Ομήρ. Ιλ. (πιθ. συγγενές προς τα ἠώς, ἕως, ο πρωινός άνεμος, όπως Ζέφυρος προς το ζόφος, ο βραδυνός άνεμος).

Frisk Etymological English

Compounds: As 1. member in εὑρ-ακύλων (ἄνεμος τυφωνικός, ὁ καλούμενος εὑρακύλων Act. Ap. 27, 14), with Lat. aquilō Northeast wind as second term, to designate a wind, between εὖρος and aquilo; lat. (Vulg.) euroaquilo.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Proposal by Curtius 398: from *εὖσ-ρο-ς to εὕω singe; aspiration lost after αὔρα (Sommer Lautstud. 36)? Diff. Wood Lang. 3, 184. -

Middle Liddell

Εὖρος, ὁ,
the East wind, or more exactly E. S. E., Lat. Eurus, Il. (Probably akin to ἠώς, ἕως, the morning-wind, as Ζέφυρος is to ζόφος, the evening-wind.)
