Headword: Ἴακχος
Adler number: iota,16
Translated headword: Iakkhos, Iacchus
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
Dionysos at the breast. And a certain hero; and the song for him; and the day on which the feast for him [is held]. But some [say the word means] also a tumult.[1]
The mystical Iacchus was heard at the naval battle of Persians and Greeks.[2]
So Ἰακχος [comes] from [the verb] ἰάκχω ["I shout"].[3]
And also the Iacchus was heard from the Areopagus, having hymns and songs sung to him.[4]
Greek Original:
Ἴακχος: Διόνυσος ἐπὶ τῷ μαστῷ. καὶ ἥρως τις: καὶ ἡ ἐπ' αὐτῷ ᾠδή: καὶ ἡ ἡμέρα, καθ' ἣν εἰς αὐτὸν ἡ πανήγυρις. ἔνιοι δὲ καὶ θόρυβος. ὅ τε μυστικὸς Ἴακχος ἠκούσθη κατὰ τὴν ναυμαχίαν Περσῶν καὶ Ἑλλήνων. Ἴακχος οὖν παρὰ τὸ ἰάκχω. καὶ μέντοι καὶ ὁ Ἴακχος ἠκούσθη ἐκ τοῦ Ἀρείου πεδίου, ὑμνούμενός τε καὶ ᾀδόμενος.
