Ὑάδες
Ὑάδες
ὕω
the Hyades, seven stars in the head of the bull, which threatened rain when they rose with the sun, Il., Hes.
Commonly deriv. from ὕω, cf. Lat. Pluviae: but the genuine Lat. name was suculae, piglings, as if ὗς were the root; and this agrees with the quantity, υ being short in ὑάδες, long in ὕω: Eur. however has ὑάδες with ῡ.
