φιλόνικος
φῐλόνῑκ-ος,
ον,
A). fond of victory, contentious.
1). in bad sense,
οὔτε δύσηρις ἐὼν οὔτ’ ὦν φ. ἄγαν Pi. O. 6.19 (
-νεικ- codd. vett.);
φ. ἐστι πρὸς ὃ ἂν ὁρμήσῃ Pl. Prt. 336e ; coupled with
φιλότιμος, Id. R. 545a ,
582e ( v.l.
-νεικ- ), cf.
550b ;
ἐπίπονον καὶ φ. καὶ φιλότιμον .. καταστήσας τὸν βίον Lys. 2.16 .
2). in good sense, of spirited horses,
X. Eq. 9.8 ( Sup.): of persons,
φ. πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἐλλείπεσθαι Id. Mem. 2.6.5 , cf.
Plu. Ages. 2 ( Sup.);
τὸ φ., =
φιλονικία, ἔσῳζον τὸ φ. ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς X. Cyr. 7.5.64 . Adv.
-κως in eager rivalry, παραθεῖν Id. Cyn. 6.16 ;
φ. ἔχειν πρὸς ἀλλήλους Id. Cyr. 3.3.57 ,
8.4.4 ;
φ. ἔχειν πρὸς τὸ εἰδέναι Pl. Grg. 505e ; opp.
ἀνθρωπίνως, D. Ep. 3.41 . (In codd. the forms
φιλόνικος, -νικέω, -νικία and
φιλόνεικος, -νεικέω, -νεικία occur, without any distn. of meaning, e.g. in
Isoc. we find
περὶ τῶν καλλίστων ἐφιλονίκησαν 4.85 , but
τὰς θεὰς περὶ τοῦ κάλλους φιλονεικούσας 10.48 ;
μὴ δύσερις ὢν .. , μηδὲ πρὸς πάντας φιλόνικος 1.31 ;
τῆς πρὸς ἡμᾶς φιλονικίας 4.19 , but
φιλονεικία in the same sense,
12.158 ;
φιλόνῑκος is implied by
Arist. Rh. 1389a12 (where
-νεικ-, though found in good codd., as also in
1363b1 ,
1368b21 ,
1370b33 ,
Phgn. 809b35 , must be f.l.),
καὶ φιλότιμοι μέν εἰσι [οἱ νέοι], μᾶλλον δὲ
