Μάλεος
Adler number: mu,101
Translated headword: Maleos, Maleus
Vetting Status: low
Translation: A proper name.
Phaistos, a city of Crete.
Homer [says]: "into
Phaistos, [where only] a small rock keeps away a great wave."[1] For a certain Maleos brought this rock and dedicated it to
Poseidon, to prevent the waves crashing against
Phaistos.
Μάλεος: ὄνομα κύριον. Φαιστός, πόλις Κρήτης. Ὅμηρος: ἐς Φαιστόν: μικρὸς δὲ λίθος μέγα κῦμ' ἀποέργει. Μάλεος γάρ τις τελέσας τὸν λίθον τοῦτον ἀνιέρωσε τῷ Ποσειδῶνι, πρὸς τὸ μὴ τὰ κύματα προσπελάζειν τῇ Φαιστῷ.
Notes:
This is a quotation of the entry on
Phaistos,
phi 182, q.v. Hence the odd occurrence of the place name
Phaistos, the headword of that entry, as if referring to the man Maleos.
