Ulixes
Latin
Alternative forms
Etymology
According to Visser,[1] from dialectal (probably Doric) Ancient Greek Οὐλίξης (Oulíxēs, “Odysseus”), itself from a Pre-Greek source tentatively reconstructed by Beekes as *Od/lukyeu.[2] Compare Etruscan 𐌖𐌈𐌖𐌆𐌄 (uθuze).
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /uˈlik.seːs/, [ʊˈlʲɪks̠eːs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /uˈlik.ses/, [uˈlikses]
Usage notes
Some insist that only Ulixēs is correct for Classical Latin and that the spelling Ulyssēs is incorrect;[3] but the form Ulyssēs is not uncommon, especially in later periods and in languages descended from Latin.
