          "definition": "Ep. epith. of children, of uncertain origin and sense; sts. clearly of <i>a darling son, petted child,</i> ἀλλʼ οὐκ Ἰδομενῆα φόβος λάβε, τηλύγετον ὥς, Il. 13.470; τίσω δέ μιν ἶσον Ὀρέστῃ, ὅς μοι τ. τρέφεται θαλίῃ ἔνι πολλῇ 9.143, cf. 285; so of an <i>only</i> son, ὡς . . πατὴρ ὃν παῖδα φιλήσῃ μοῦνον τηλύγετον ib. 482; ὅς οἱ τ. γένετο Od. 4.11; ὡς δὲ πατὴρ ὃν παῖδα . . ἀγαπάζῃ . . μοῦνον τηλύγετον 16.19; son <i>of oneʼs old age,</i> τ. οἱ υἱός . . ὀψίγονος τρέφεται h.Cer. 164, cf. 283; also λιποῦσα παῖδά τε τηλυγέτην, of Hermione, <i>the only</i> daughter of Helen, Il. 3.175; once of two sons, perh. twins, Φαίνοπος υἷε, ἄμφω τηλυγέτω 5.153: so in later Ep., A.R. 1.719, Mosch. 4.79; of a wife, ἄλοχον σαόφρονα τηλυγέτην τε JHS 19.296 ( Galatia): once in Trag., τηλύγετον [χθονὸς] ἀπὸ πατρίδος E. IT 829 (lyr.), where it seems to mean τηλοῦ γεγονότα, born <i>far away, far-distant,</i> as it certainly does in Simm. 1.1 τηλυγέτων . . Ὑπερβορέων ἀνὰ δῆμον; similarly, τηλυγέτων ἀποικιῶν· τῶν μακρὰν ἀπεχουσῶν, Hsch. (= Com.Adesp. 1315). (The best of the ancient interpretations is <i>latest-born,</i> i.e. <i>after whom no more are born</i> (= ὁ τῆς γονῆς τέλος ἔχων, μεθʼ ὃν ἕτερος οὐ γίνεται, Sch.T Il. 9.482), including <i>only children,</i> these being the best-beloved. The word was prob. thought to be derived from τέλος ( τελευ-τή, cf. Orion in Et.Gud. 616.37) and γίγνομαι; but this presents difficulties, and the sense <i>petted, well-beloved,</i> may equally well be the primary one.)",
