Ἐρύμανθος
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
The name, Erymanthos, appears as o-ru-ma-te in a Linear B tablet from Pylos (Py Cn 3) listing members of a coast-watching unit, described in the Glossary of Ventris and Chadwick, Documents in Mycenaean Greek. The person is believed to have been named after his native region. Leonard Palmer proposed that this class of name, bearing the infix -nth-, derives from Luwian, and that the Luwians, an Anatolian-speaking people, preceded the Greeks in the region. This strongest and only theory of this class of name is re-presented by Fred C. Woodhuizen in The Luwians of Western Anatolia. Theorists of this school can etymologize the majority of the names in the Anatolian languages, Anatolian being Indo-European; however, o-ru-ma-te has not yet been credibly further etymologized.
