Baius-Helmsmann-of-Odysseus-Turkic-Bay-and-Oduz

 

Odysseus

*


Baius is the helmsman of Odysseus.

Wenn i look the sentence above, I could recognize 2 Turkic words:

For Bai-us look at: 

Proto-Turkic *bāj 1 rich, noble 2 many, numerous 

It is a title like Oduz, meaning Old Turkic "general", as the head of soldiers and armies.

Now look at the satire-poem of Horace(Quintus Horatius Flaccus):

Source: Baius/Albius

*

§ 1.4.107  When he exhorted me to be thrifty and careful, 
So as to live in content on what he’d leave me: 
He’d say: ‘Don’t you see how badly young Albius
Is doing, how poor Baius is? A clear warning: don’t 
Wilfully squander your birthright.’ Or steering me 


*


Albius maybe the Turkic Alp (meaning great, hero)? 

He is doing not well!


And Baius (meaning rich, noble) is not rich.

(as expected?)

Does Horace play here with "opposite" words?

*


Indices for the possible Turkic ID?
