Ancient Greek
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- Ἄρευς (Áreus)
Etymology
[edit]Usually derived from the Ionic word ἀρή (arḗ, “bane, ruin”),[1] which could be related to Sanskrit इरस्या (irasyā, “malevolence”), suggesting a Proto-Indo-European origin.[2]
However, Morris Silver and Pierre Chantraine propose a derivation from ἄρος (áros, “use, profit, help”) instead.[3]
𐀀𐀩 (a-re), found in Linear B, is thought to be the oldest attested form of the name.[4]
Pronunciation
[edit]- (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /á.rɛːs/
- (1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /ˈa.re̝s/
- (4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /ˈa.ris/
- (10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /ˈa.ris/
- (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /ˈa.ris/
The α (a) is usually short in Homer and tragedy, but sometimes long, e.g. Iliad 5.31, Iliad 2..767, Argonautica 3.1187; and Aeschylus and Sophocles regularly use long ᾱ (ā).
