έρεβος
μισῶ σοφιστὴν ὅστις οὐχ αὑτῷ σοφός → I hate the sage who recks not his own rede, I hate the sage who is not wise for himself, I hate the wise man who is not wise on his own
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].
