Etymology: According to M. L. West, (Aeolic-)Ionian epics and dependent traditions have δ-forms while in all mainland Greece and most colonies only the λ-forms are attested. It is unclear which ones are older, and it is thought that the connection of the name with the Trojan War probably is secondary. Kretschmer believed that δ-forms are secondary and due to a paronymic attraction to a verb discussed below, while Solmsen, on the contrary, proposed that λ-forms actually originate in dissimilation of dentals. The etymology of the name is contested. Ancient authors (beginning with the Odyssey (19.406 sqq.) link it to the verb ὀδύσσομαι (odússomai, “to hate”), which is from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ed- (“to hate”), but a non-Greek or even a non-Indo-European origin seems more likely. Beekes tentatively reconstructed the Pre-Greek source as *Od/lukʸeu.
