έρεβος
ἢν μή τις ὥσπερ σφηκιὰν βλίττῃ με κἀρεθίζῃ → may no one squeeze me and tease me like a wasp | may no one smoke me and tease me like a wasp | but if anyone annoys me and rifles my nest, they'll find a wasp inside | still if you wake a wasps' nest then of wasps you must beware
Greek Monolingual
το (Α ἔρεβος)
βαθύτατο σκοτάδι, απόλυτη έλλειψη φωτός
αρχ.
1. ο σκοτεινός τόπος που υπάρχει κάτω από τη γη, από τον οποίο περνούσαν οι νεκροί για να πάνε στον Αδη
2. το απόλυτο σκοτάδι στον βυθό της θάλασσας («ἔρεβος ὕφαλον», Σοφ.)
3. γρίφος, μυστήριο («φέγγος μέν ξυνετοῖς, ἀξυνέτοις δ’ ἔρεβος», Ανθ. Παλ.)
4. Ἔρεβος, ως προσωποποίηση («ἐκ χάεος δ’ Ἐρεβός τε μέλαινά τε Νὺξ ἐγένοντο», Ησίοδ.).
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛΟΓΙΑ Ο τ. έρεβος ανάγεται σε ΙΕ τ. regw-oς «σκοτάδι» και εμφανίζει προθηματικό ε- ενώ συνδέεται με αρχ. ινδ. rajas- «ατμός, σκότος», αρμ. erek- «βράδυ», γοτθ. riqiz. Από τη λ. έρεβος προήλθε το επίθ. ερεμνός (< ερεβ-νός), ο αιολ. τ. ερεβεννός (< ερεβεσ-νός), ενώ ο τ. ερεβώδης είναι μεταγενέστερος].
