Greek Original:*megai/netos: o)/noma ku/rion. au)qa/dhs, kai\ tw=n strathgiw/ntwn, kai\ a)/llws qrasu/s.
Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Frogs 965, where he is mentioned. Cf. the next entry,
mu 395, and see generally under
gamma 352.
[1] For the verb
strathgia=n see
sigma 1169. There is no record of Megainetos ever having succeeded in being elected to the board of 10 generals in
Athens (though our evidence in this area is admittedly lacunose), and indeed he is otherwise unattested. Cf.
phi 606.
