Adler number: omicron,275
Translated headword: Homoloios
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

[An epithet of] Zeus in Thebes and in other Boeotian city-states and in Thessaly; [the name comes] from the expoundress[1] Homoloa, the daughter of Enyis; she was sent as expoundress to Delphi, as Aristophanes [says] in book 2 of his History of Thebes.[2] But Istros in the twelfth book of his Collection [says that the name arose] because of the fact that amongst Aeolians concord and peacefulness is called homolon.[3] There is also a Demeter Homoloia in Thebes.
