εὖτε : (1) when, at
the time when, foll by the same constructions as other
relative words (see ἄν, κέν). εὖτε is always employed
‘asyndetically,’ i. e. without a connecting
particle, and is freq. followed by a demonstrative temporal word in
the apodosis, ἔνθα, τῆμος δή, καὶ τότε δή,
ἔπειτα, etc.; εὖτ᾽ ἀστὴρ
ὑπερέσχε φαάντατος.. τῆμος δὴ νήσῳ προσεπίλνατο ποντοπόρος
νηῦς, Od. 13.93; the clause
introduced by εὖτε may, however, follow
its apodosis, τλῆ δ᾽ Ἀίδης.. ὠκὺν ὀιστόν..
εὖτέ μιν ωὑτὸς ἀνὴρ.. ὀδύνῃσιν ἔδωκεν, Il. 5.396.—(2) as, even
as, introducing a simile, Il.
3.10, Il. 19.386 (where some
write ηὖτε, for ἠύτε).
