ἀντηρίς
ἔστιν οὖν τραγῳδία μίμησις πράξεως σπουδαίας καὶ τελείας μέγεθος ἐχούσης, ἡδυσμένῳ λόγῳ χωρὶς ἑκάστου τῶν εἰδῶν ἐν τοῖς μορίοις, δρώντων καὶ οὐ δι' ἀπαγγελίας, δι' ἐλέου καὶ φόβου περαίνουσα τὴν τῶν τοιούτων παθημάτων κάθαρσιν → Tragedy is, then, a representation of an action that is heroic and complete and of a certain magnitude—by means of language enriched with all kinds of ornament, each used separately in the different parts of the play: it represents men in action and does not use narrative, and through pity and fear it effects relief to these and similar emotions.
English (LSJ)
ίδος, ἡ,
A prop, stay, support, E.Fr.1111: pl., Plb.8.4.6; stanchion or strut in torsion-engines, Ph.Bel.76.16, Hero Bel.101.9; ἀρκύων X.Cyn.10.7; in Th.7.36 ἀντηρίδες are stay-beams fixed inside a ship's bow, and projecting beyond it, so as to support and strengthen the ἐπωτίδες. II=θυρίς, window, Suid.:—and in E.Rh.785 it must mean nostrils, if it be the right reading. [ῐδος E. ll.cc.: hence ἀντήρειδες in Apollod.Poliorc.178.4, Hero Bel.101.9, is wrong; so -είδιον ib.89.4 is f.l. for -ίδιον as Inscrr. show.] (-ηρῐδ = -ερῐδ-, weak form of stem of ἐρείδω (cf. ἔρις).)
