Greek Original:*eu)/i+e: *dionu/sw| u(/mnos e)nqousiastiko/s.
Notes:
The headword form
eu)/i+e is the vocative of an epithet of Dionysus,
*eu)/i+os; so at
Euripides,
Bacchae 413, and elsewhere. The epithet probably derives from the traditional cry of ecstasy
eu)oi= (
epsilon 3785,
epsilon 3787).
The neuter
eu)/i+on is attested (e.g.
Nonnus,
Dionysiaca 15.131) as a substantive in the sense of a Dionysiac song or chant.
For 'inspired' cf. generally
epsilon 1364,
epsilon 1366.
