Adler number: iota,482
Translated headword: and tearful rout
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

Homer calls i)wkh/n ["rout"] i)w=ka, as Hesiod [calls] kro/khn ["weft"] kro/ka.[1] And Homer himself calls a)lkh=| ["strength"] a)lki/ [in the phrase] a)lki\ pepoiqw/s.[2] And he calls the battle "rout" from a part, since [battle] becomes the cause of a pursuit; in the same way also [he calls] war "battle-cry" from the shouting.[3]
