When they are substantives, they have the accent on the antepenultimate syllable, as Ne'leus, Prometheus, Salmo'neus, &c. and when adjectives on the penultimate, as Nele'us, Promethe'us, Salmone'us, &c. Thus, Eneus, a king of Calydonia, is pronounced in two syllables; the adjective (Enius, which is formed from it, is a trissyllable; and Œnëius, another formative of it, is a word of four syllables. But these words, when formed into English adjectives, alter their termination with the accent on the Penultimate : With other notes than to the Orphëan lyre.- -MILTON. AKENSIDE.

This is the more necessary in these words, as the accented e and the unaccented i are so much alike as to require the sound of the initial or consonant y', in order to prevent the hiatus, by giving a small diversity to the two vowels.-See Achaia. * Labbe places the accent of this word on the penultimate i, as in Heraclitus and Heraclida; but the Roman emperor of this name is so generally pronounced with the antepenultimate accent, that it would savour of pedantry to alter it.
