Salvete omnes,
I have a question about ancient Greek epic names. Many epic, such as the Iliad, the Kypriad, the Thebiad, etc, seem to be a distortion of the name of what the epic is about, followed by "ad" or "iad". However, the Odyssey is a distortion of Odysseus followed by "ey". According to most other examples of epic poems, surely a poem about Odysseus would be called the Odyssead? I speak with no knowledge of ancient or modern Greek, so if anyone could answer this, I'd be very grateful!
Bene valete,
