1 Ἰαπετός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: Iapetos (Il.)Other forms: Ί- metr. lengthened.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The name was connected with the biblical Japheth; thus recently M.L. West, Hes. Th. 134. The idea seems most improbable for a god thrown in Tartaros by Zeus. The name is often connected with ἰάπτω as "the one thrown off" (Θ 479, Hes. On the formation Schwyzer 502, Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 51 n. 1) with Ίαπετιονίδης (Hes.; Solmsen Unt. 58). The interpretation seems improbable to me (rather a mere guess). It seems obvious that the name, of a pre-Olympian god, is Pre-Greek. A suffix - ετος is found in Pre-Greek, Beekes, Pre-Greek, Suffixes nr. 42; Furnée 155 n. 2 mentions a demon ῎Ασβετός (which he compares with ῎Ασπετος ὁ Α᾽χιλλεὺς ἐν Η᾽πείρῳ H.); it is also found in GN, cf. Ταύγετον, Ταλετόν.Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > Ἰαπετός
