τριχάϊκες

τρῐχάϊκες [ᾱῑ], οἱ,

• the threefold people, Δωριέες, so called from their three tribes (Ὑλλῆς, Δυμᾶνες, Πάμφυλοι), Od. 19.177; πάντες δὲ τριχάϊκες καλέονται τρισσὴν οὕνεκα γαῖαν ἑκὰς πάτρης ἐδάσαντο Hes. Fr. 191. (Apollon. ap. Sch.Od. l.c. compares κορυθάϊξ -ῑκος and explains it as ‘shaking the hair of their crestsʼ; others rendered it τρίλοφοι, and others ὀρχησταί: more prob. Hesiod is right as to the sense; the first part is τρίχα (Adv.), the second not ἑκάς (as Hes. seems to suggest) but ϝῐκ- = Skt. viś- ‘village’, cogn. with ϝοῖκος; or ϝεικ-, another grade of the same root.)

τριχάϊκες, οἱ, die dreifach Geteilten, heißen die Dorier, Od. 19.177, Hes. frg. 68 ; was Böckh explic. Pind. Ol. 7.76 vom dreifachen Helmbusch erkl., wie κορυθάϊξ ; Andere von einem auf dem Helme flatternden Roßhaarbusch (τρίχες- ἀΐσσω). Die Erkl. dachten zum Teil an den dreifachen Wohnort der Dorier im Peloponnes, in Thessalien, in Kreta, zum Teil an die drei Dorischen Phylen.
