The first example is found in Alcestis (E. Alc. 10), where ὅσιος refers to Apollo who has been punished by Zeus and has to work in servitude to a mortal. It is Apollo himself who, in the prologue, says that his behaviour towards Admetus has been ὅσιος. Secondly, in Heraclidae, Alcmene considers that it is Zeus who should know whether his behaviour towards her is ὅσιος (E. Heracl. 719). Finally, Orestes claims that Apollo must be condemned and considered ἀνόσιος because of Clytemnestra’s murder (E. Or. 595-596)... info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FFI2016-75632-P info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.101 2019 Classics 2019 Q3 Linguistics and Language 2019 Q4 Language and Linguistics 2019 Q4 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 3000 340 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
