Slater's Lexicon to Pindar - normally metaphorical?
Posted: July 8th, 2020, 1:08 am
Greetings,
Lexicons and dictionaries give the prose definitions of the words they define, and if there is a metaphorical meaning or sense to a word, they give the metaphorical meaning, but state that it is metaphorical.
My question is about the Slater Lexicon, which is a “Lexicon to Pindar.” According to what I read about it, it is a lexicon to the poet Pindar. Therefore, in the Lexicon to Pindar, do the definitions of the words normally include the metaphorical meaning without stating explicitly that the meaning is metaphorical?
Thank You,
David
