Sophocles: "Where now are the thunderbolts of

Φαέθων: λάμπων, ἥλιος. Σοφοκλῆς: ποῦ ποτε κεραυνοὶ Διός, ἢ ποῦ φαέθων ἠέλιος, εἰ ταῦτ' ἐφορῶντες κρύπτουσιν ἕκηλοι; οἷον οὐκ ἄγουσιν ἐς φῶς τὴν παρανομίαν. καὶ Ὅμηρος: οὔτε γὰρ ἠέλιος φαέθων ὑπερέσχεθε γαίης. δείκνυσι δὲ ὁ Ποιητὴς σφαιροειδῆ εἶναι τὸν κόσμον.

Iliad 11.735 (followed by comment from the
scholia there). The lexicographer mistakenly gives
