[*] 3041. Periphrasis (περίφρασις circumlocution) is the use of more words than are necessary to express an idea. ““θρέμματα Νείλου” nurslings of the Nile = the Egyptians” P. L. 953e, ““οἰδίπου κάρα_” Oedipus” S. O. T. 40 (κάρα_ expresses reverence or affection). The substantive on which another substantive depends often stands for an adjective, as ἲ_ς Τηλεμάχοιο = mighty Telemach (cp. 1014). For various other periphrases, see the Index.
