English (LSJ)

Dor. Δᾶλος, ἡ,

   A Delos, Od.6.162, Pi.Fr.87, etc.: prov., ᾄδεις ὥσπερ εἰς Δ. πλέων, from the careless joviality of the Δηλιασταί (q. v.), Zen.2.37. (Expld. from δῆλος, because of the legend that it became visible on a sudden, Arist.Fr.488, EM264.22; but cf. sq.)

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

Δῆλος: ἡ, μία τῶν Κυκλάδων νήσων, τόπος τῆς γεννήσεως τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος καὶ τῆς Ἀρτέμιδος, καὶ ἱερὰ αὐτῶν, Ὀδ. Ζ. 162, κτλ.· καλουμένη ὡσαύτως Ὀρτυγία· κατὰ τινα μεθ᾽ Ὅμηρον μῦθον λέγεται ὅτι ἐπέπλεεν ἐπὶ τῶν ὑδάτων, ἕως οὗ ὁ Ζεὺς ἐστερέωσεν αὐτήν, ὅπως δεχθῇ τὴν Λητώ, Πίνδ. Ἀποσπ. 58, πρβλ. Στράβωνα 485·―παροιμ., ᾄδεις ὥσπερ εἰς Δ. πλέων, ἐκ τῆς ἀμερίμνου φαιδρότητος τῶν Δηλιαστῶν, Παροιμιογρ. (Πιθανῶς ἐκ τοῦ δῆλος, ὡς ἐκ τοῦ μύθου, καθ᾽ ὃν ἐξαίφνης ἐγένετο ὁρατή, Ἀριστ. παρὰ Πλιν. 4. 22, Μ. Ἐτυμ. 264. 22).
