"Πλειάδες" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Πλειάδες in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /pleː.á.des/, /pliˈa.ðes/, /pliˈa.ðes/, /pleː.á.des/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /pliˈa.des/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /pliˈa.ðes/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /pliˈa.ðes/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /pliˈa.ðes/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Apparently from πλέω (pléō, “to sail”) because of the star cluster’s importance in delimiting the sailing season in the Mediterranean Sea: "the season of navigation began with their heliacal rising". The mythological sisters were probably named after the star cluster, rather than vice versa. The singular Πλειάς (Pleiás) is sometimes found referring to the star cluster.
