English (LSJ)

οντος, ὁ,

   A ruler, lord, master, Ep. word, used in Il. mostly of kings and chiefs, esp. of Agamemnon, 1.130, al. (Com. in parody, of Diomedes, Cratin.68); of gods, ὕπατε κρειόντων, of Zeus, Il.8.31, etc.; of Poseidon, εὐρὺ κ. ἐνοσίχθων 11.751; as an honorary epithet, κ. Ἐτεωνεύς, of a squire of Menelaus, Od.4.22:—so fem. κρείουσα (once in Hom.), κρείουσα γυναικῶν, of a concubine of Priam, Il.22.48; Ἀντιόπη κ. queen Antiope, Hes.Fr.110.6, cf. Call. Del.219; Dor. κρείοισα Theoc.17.132:—after Hom. in the form κρέων, Pi.P.8.99, N.3.10, 7.45; of Zeus, A.Supp.574 (lyr.):—fem. κρέουσα, B.3.1: hence pr. n. Κρέων, Κρέουσα. (A participial form (κρείειν γὰρ τὸ ἄρχειν ἔλεγον οἱ παλαιοί Artem.2.12): κρείων may be due to metrical lengthening or represent Κρήων.)
