[62] ὠδύσαο. A play upon the name “Ὀδυσσεύς”, which, according to this etymology, might be translated ‘a man of wrath’; with the double signification of enduring the wrath of the gods, or dealing wrath to his enemies. Cp. Od.19. 275; 407 foll. Roscher (Curt. Stud. 4. 196 foll.), referring to the forms “Ὀδύξης”, Ulixes, supposes the stem to be “δυκ”, Lat. dux.
