Ancient Greek

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *diwyós (heavenly), from Lua error in Module:affix/templates at line 70: The |lang= parameter is not used by this template. Place the language code in parameter 1 instead.. Cognate with Sanskrit दिव्य (divyá), and related to Ζεύς (Zeús, Zeus), Latin deus (god), and the first element of English Tuesday.

Pronunciation

 

Adjective

δῖος (dîos)

  1. (poetic) heavenly, divine, noble (Homeric epithet of persons and gods)
    • 800 BCE – 600 BCE, Homer, Iliad 1.5–7:
      Διὸς δ᾽ ἐτελείετο βουλή,
      ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε
      Ἀτρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς.
      Diòs d᾽ eteleíeto boulḗ,
      ex hoû dḕ tà prôta diastḗtēn erísante
      Atreḯdēs te ánax andrôn kaì dîos Akhilleús.
      and the will of Zeus was fulfilled,
      starting when they first stood apart and quarreled:
      [Agamemnon] the son of Atreus, lord of men, and divine Achilles.

Inflection

Lua error in Module:grc-decl/decl at line 589: Declensions were found that matched the ending of the masculine “δῖος”, but the corresponding feminine and neuter endings “-ᾱ”, “-α”, “-η”, “-ον” do not match the feminine “δῖᾰ”.
