Ubi idem et maximus et honestissimus amor est, aliquando praestat morte jungi, quam vita distrahi → Where indeed the greatest and most honourable love exists, it is much better to be joined by death, than separated by life.

English (LSJ)

ον, (αἰνέω)

   A much-praised, Homeric epith. of Odysseus, Il.9.673, 10.544, 11.430, Od.12.184; but expld. alternatively by Hsch. as = πολύμυθος (cf. αἰνέω 1, αἶνος 1).

German (Pape)

[Seite 659] vielgelobt, lobens-, preiswürdig; bei Hom. viermal, als Prädicat des Odysseus, Il. 9, 673. 10, 544. 11, 430 Od. 12, 184; Buttm. Lexil. II p. 114 erklärt es mit einigen Alten = reich an sinnvollen, klug ersonnenen Reden (vgl. αἶνος). – So auch Xen. Mem. 2, 6, 11.

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

πολύαινος: -ον, (αἰνέω) ὁ πολὺ ἐπαινούμενος, ὑμνούμενος, Ὁμηρικὸν ἐπίθ. τοῦ Ὀδυσσέως, Ἰλ. Ι. 673, Κ. 544, Λ. 430, Ὀδ. Μ. 184. ― Ἀλλ᾿ ὁ Buttm. ἐν Λεξιλ. ἐν λ. αἶνος 2, ἀποδέχεται τὴν δευτέραν σημασίαν τὴν παρ’ Ἡσυχίῳ, δηλ. πολύμυθος, οὐχὶ μὲ τὴν σημασίαν ὁ πολλὰ ὁμιλῶν (ὅπερ θὰ ἥρμοζε μᾶλλον εἰς τὸν Νέστορα), ἀλλὰ ὁ πλήρης σοφίας καὶ πολυμαθείας λόγους ἐκφέρων (πρβλ. αἰνέω Ι, αἶνος Ι).

French (Bailly abrégé)
