Τριτογένεια
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- Τρῑτογενής (Trītogenḗs)
Etymology
From τρῐ́τος (trítos) + γεν- (gen-), the root of γίγνομαι (gígnomai), -ειᾰ (-eia, feminine adjectival suffix). The ῐ (i) of τρῐ́τος (trítos) is lengthened to ῑ (ī) for the sake of meter: the three short syllables in the sequence short–short–short–long–short of *Τρῐτογένειᾰ (*Tritogéneia) would break the rules of dactylic hexameter.
