-ος

I'm not aware of any Attic Greek noun with a nominative form in -ο. I'd understand a putative Νίς, mirroring ἀκτίς, which makes me wonder if there wasn't a slip. Caeciliusinhorto, maybe you can either confirm the source or correct my ignorance? Leefeni^{aures audiendi audiat} 22:25, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None with nominative -ω and accusative -ον either, for that matter. Leefeni^{aures audiendi audiat} 22:35, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eidinow says "most scholars give her name as Ninos" in both "Patterns of Persecution" (n.11) and Envy, Poison, Death (p.17, n.24). The other sources cited in the article all refer to her as Ninos without comment. None seem to give this form of the name in Greek, or explain how it derives.

"Nino" possibly is an error – Eidinow attributes this version of the name to Collins, but at least in the version of his paper on JSTOR he in fact uses "Ninos" throughout. Strangely, she attributes "Nino" to him in both "Patterns of Persecution" and Envy, Poison, Death.

I've revised the text slightly to reflect this. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 07:44, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
