[Meaning] many-eyed.
*pano/pths: poluo/fqalmos.
A word particularly favoured by
Aeschylus:
Supplices 304 (Argus),
Eumenides 1045 (Zeus), and in line 91 (sun) of the
Prometheus Bound, which may or may not be Aeschylean. (For other instances in tragedy, comedy, and elsewhere see LSJ s.v.) Although the
scholia to those three passages do not contain the present gloss, the
scholia to
muriwpo/n in (?)
Aeschylus,
Prometheus Bound 567, do mention Argus (above), refer to him as 'all-seeing', and gloss this as 'many-eyed'.
cf. generally
pi 210.
