Etymologies

CategoryExplanation
Folk Etymology NarrativeDemosthenes says of the Bithynian (Drepane) that it is named because 'they call Drepane from the iron (sickle) of Cronus.'
Morphological CompositionThe ethnicon (demonym) is Δρεπανεύς, and the feminine form Δρεπανηίς — the ethnicon Δρεπανεύς formed like Σχεριεύς.
