[252] ἠγάθεος, an epithet, like “ζάθεος”, applied only to places; no doubt both mean ‘divine,’ as they are only applied to localities connected with particular gods. We should perhaps read “ἀγάθεος” (from “ἄγαν”), the first syllable being lengthened metrically: see App. “δ. ἠγ”. is used of Pytho (Od. 8.80), Lemnos (2.722), and “Νυσήϊον” (6.133). Some take it to be another form of “ἀγαθός”, which is, however, never applied to localities.
