ἀθέσφατος -ον [app. ἀ-1 + θέσφατος.] Thus, not suited to the utterance of a (beneficent) god; hence, portentous, terrible, terrifying: ὄμβρον Il. 3.4, Il. 10.6: ὤρινε θάλασσαν ἀθέσφατον (so that it became . . . ) Od. 7.273. Of winter nights, endless Od. 11.373, Od. 15.392. Unlimited in amount: σῖτος Od. 13.244.– In number Od. 20.211. Excessive in amount: οἶνος Od. 11.61.

Reversing a previous decision: μετεβούλευσαν Od. 5.286. 2 In some other form: εἰ ἀ. δοίης δωτίνην Od. 9.267. For some other reason Od. 17.577. In novel fashion: ἑψιάασθαι Od. 8.429. 3 καὶ ἀ., as it is, at the best of times, without that: ἀγήνωρ ἐστὶ καὶ ἀ. Il. 9.699. Cf. Il. 20.99: Od. 21.87. 4 Otherwise (connoting improvement): πάρος οὐκ ἔσσεται ἀ. Il. 5.218. In other and better wise, better, more effectually: σαωσέμεν Il. 19.401. Cf. Il. 11.391: οὔ κεν ἀ. θεὸς τεύξειεν Od. 8.176. Cf. Od. 20.211, Od. 24.107. 5 Otherwise than with due regard to truth, idly, at random: ἀ. ψεύδονται Od. 14.124. 6 With other result than that hoped for, in vain, fruitlessly: ἀ. ἠρήσατο Il. 23.144.
