σεληνιάζομαι

selēniazomai

Verb · Middle voice or passive from a presumed derivative of σελήνη (G4582)

Middle voice or passive from a presumed derivative of G4582; to be moon-struck, i.e. crazy:—be a lunatic.

Outline

  1. to be moon-struck or lunatic
  2. to be epileptic
    1. epilepsy being supposed to return and increase with the increase of the moon. This meaning is doubtful as the Greeks knew nothing of epilepsy.
