ὄπις, ιδος, ἡ, acc. ὄπιν u. ὄπιδα (ἕπομαι, od., wie Cornut. sagt, ἀπὸ τοῦ λανθάνειν ὄπισθεν, nicht von ὌΠ, οψομαι, obwohl man, hierauf zurückgehend, die strafende Rücksicht auf begangene Verbrechen erklärt), eigtl. was auf böse Handlungen folgt, Strafe, Rache ; bei Hom. θεῶν ὄπις, die Rache der Götter, die Strafe, welche auf Uebertretung göttlicher Gesetze folgt ; θεῶν ὄπιν οὐκ ἀλέγοντες, Il. 16.388 ; οὐδὲ θεῶν ὄπιν ᾐδέσατο, Od. 21.28 ; θεῶν ὄπιν εἰδότες, Hes. O. 189 ; ὄπιν ἀθανάτων πεφυλαγμένος, 706 ; οὐδʼ ὄπιδα τρομέουσι θεῶν, Od. 20.215 ; καὶ μὲν τοῖς ὄπιδος κρατερὸν δέος ἐν φρεσὶ πίπτει, 14.88, wie οὐκ ὄπιδα φρονέοντες ἐνὶ φρεσὶν οὐδʼ ἐλεητύν ib. 82, sie denken an keine künftige Strafe, noch auch an Erbarmen ; von den Rachegöttinnen, κακὴν ὄπιν ἀποδοῦναι, Hes. Th. 222 ; Ἑρμέω ὄπιν ἅζεσθαι, Theocr. 25.4 ; θεῶν ὄπιν ἄφθιτον, im guten Sinne, die Huld der Götter, Pind. P. 8.74, vgl. Ol. 2.6. – Daher Scheu vor dieser Strafe, τῶν θεῶν οὐδεμίην ὄπιν ἔχων ἐνέπρησε τοὺς οἴκους, Her. 8.143, vgl. 9.76 ; αἰδεῖσθαι ὄπιδα πολιοῖο γενείου, Ehrfurcht hegen gegen das greise Kinn, Mosch. 4.117.
