Homer,
Iliad 21.366 (the river
Xanthus--web address 1), though Munro and Allen read
e)/qele rather than
e)qe/lei. For the use of
e)qe/lw in this sense, see generally LSJ s.v. A2 (web address 2: "with neg., almost =
du/namai"). A scholion to
Odyssey 3.121 is similar, and compares
Iliad 21.366. See also
Aristophanes,
Birds 581 (
ou)k e)qelh/sei), with scholion.
