|etymtx=ῆνος<br />Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">Sirene(s)</b>, mythical destructive bird-like creatures (woman-birds), who, in the Od., attract those navigating by with their beautiful chant and kill them (Od.; Nilsson Gr. Rel. I2 228f.), also as des. of various seductive women and creatures (Alcm., E., Aeschin. a.o.); as des. of a wild kind of bees (Arist. a.o.; Gil Fernández Nombres de insectos 214f.).<br />Other forms: (Att. vase-inscr. <b class="b3">Σιρ-</b>; s. Kretschmer Glotta 10, 61 f. w. lit.), often pl. <b class="b3">-ῆνες</b>, gen. du. <b class="b3">-ήνοιιν</b> (Od.). Byforms <b class="b3">Σειρην-ίδες</b> (Dor. <b class="b3">Σηρην-</b>) pl. (Alcm. a.o.), <b class="b3">-άων</b> gen. pl. (Epich. 123, verse-end).<br />Dialectal forms: As 1. member in Myc. <b class="b2">se-re-mo-ka-ra-o-re</b>, <b class="b2">-a-pi</b> (Mühlestein Glotta 36,152ff.)??; wellfounded doubts by Risch Studi Micenei (Roma 1966) 1, 53 ff. Aura Jorro 255.<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">Σειρήν(ε)ιος</b> <b class="b2">sirene-like</b> (LXX, Hld.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: As the orig. (appellative) meaning is unknown, only hypotheses are possible. Purely formal (cf. Schwyzer 487) one should connect either <b class="b3">σειρά</b> ("the one who grasps, who snares") or <b class="b3">Σείριος</b> (as personification of the midday-blaze and the midday-magic), s. Solmsen Wortforsch. 126ff. (w. older lit.; to this Güntert Kalypso 174 f.), where the last idea is preferred. Acc. to others (Brandenstein Kratylos 6, 169 with Tomaschek, Lagercrantz Eranos 17, 101 ff. with diff. interpretations) Thrac.-Phryg. For Pre-Greek-Mediterr. origin e.g. Chantraine Form. 167 (with Cohen); further hypotheses in Brandenstein Festschr. Jul. Fr. Schütz (Graz-Köln 1954) 56 f. -- On the development of the word <b class="b2">sirène</b> in French Chantraine Institut de France (Lecture) 1954: 19, 5 f. -- Furnée 172 takes the wild bees for Pre-Greek. | |||
