Headword:
*)aneua/sai
Adler number: alpha,2342
Translated headword: to raise the cry Euoi!
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The [verb that means] to sing Euoi! This is a hymn to Dionysus.
Greek Original:*)aneua/sai: to\ eu)oi= a)=|sai. e)/sti de\ tou=to u(/mnos ei)s *dio/nuson.
Notes:
See again at
epsilon 3788. The present headword, repeated there, is aorist active infinitive of
a)neua/zw; it is perhaps extracted from Arrian,
Anabasis 5.2.7.
For the cry Euoi! see also
epsilon 3785,
epsilon 3787. The chorus of
Euripides'
Bacchae might be said to do this, or
Philodamus in his
Paean to Dionysus (
Eustathius,
Commentary on Dionysius Periegetes 566.35). The prefix
ana- implies the beginning of the action that follows. The verb is found both in this sense and in the sense of singing similar praises to another god or a person. Besides Arrian (above), see
Lycophron,
Alexandra 207;
Nonnus 1.20,2.635,5.109;
Greek Anthology 9.139.
