Ucalegon (Ancient Greek: ) was one of the Elders of Troy, whose house was set afire by the Achaeans when they sacked the city. He is one of Priam's friends in the ''Iliad'',〔Iliad (3.148)〕 and the destruction of his house is referred to in the ''Aeneid''.〔Aeneid (2.312)〕 He is referenced in the ''Satires'' of Juvenal. His name in Greek is translated as "doesn't worry." The name has become a word for "neighbor whose house is on fire," and Will Shortz, editor of The New York Times crossword puzzle, has stated that it's his favorite word in the English language.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2007/5/2/15-questions-with-will-shortz-last/?print=1 )〕 ==Usage in literature== * * * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ucalegon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
