Homer [treats]
ai)qh/r as feminine: "out of [the] bright sky."[1] And
Pindar also: "through [the] desolate sky." [sc. He calls it 'desolate'] because being fiery it gives no nourishment.[2]
And elsewhere: "driving a chariot over the starry surface of the holy sky."[3]

Homer,
Iliad 16.365.

Pindar,
Olympian 1.6 (10), with comment from the
scholia there. (NB: "desolate",
e)rh/mas, is the reading in manuscripts of
Pindar, and appears correctly at
theta 29; but in the present entry, which in turn generated
phi 710, it has become corrupted into the nonsensical
frh/mas.)

Aristophanes,
Thesmophoriazusae 1067 (Mnesiphilus quotes from the prologue of
Euripides,
Andromeda: fr.114 Nauck); cf.
iota 531.
