Headword:
Ἔθυσας,
ἀντιθύσῃ
Adler number: epsilon,336
Translated headword: you sacrificed, may you sacrifice in turn
Vetting Status: low
Translation: The Cyclops says this to
Odysseus in
Philoxenus.[1] For they misinterpret the [Homeric line] 'and then we kindled a fire and sacrificed'; in the Poet [this] is said about sheep, and does not mean we sacrificed.
Ἔθυσας, ἀντιθύσῃ: τοῦτο παρὰ Φιλοξένῳ ὁ Κύκλωψ λέγει πρὸς τὸν Ὀδυσσέα. ἀπεκδέχονται γὰρ τό, ἔνθα δὲ πῦρ κείαντες ἐθύ- σαμεν, παρὰ τῷ ποιητῇ εἰρῆσθαι ἐπὶ τῶν ἀρνῶν, οὐχὶ δὲ τὸ ἀπεθύσαμεν νοεῖσθαι.
Notes:
This entry makes no sense as it stands: the final verb, creating the distinction intended between animal and other sacrifices, must be corrupt. Suggested emendations include
ἐπεθύσαμεν ('we burned incense').
