Elean

English

Adjective

Elean (comparative more Elean, superlative most Elean)

  1. Of or relating to Elis or Eleia in Ancient Greece.
    • 1980, Leonard Robert Palmer, The Greek language (page 96)
      This distribution has puzzled grammarians, but the Iliadic examples are all from Nestor's account of the Elean war. The aberrant spelling must date from after the alleged metagrammatism.

Noun

Elean (plural Eleans)

  1. A native or inhabitant of Elis or Eleia in Ancient Greece.
