II the earliest ex. is Ἑλένης ὁρμήματά τε στοναχάς τε Il. 2.356, 590, where Ἑλένης is taken by Aristarch. ap. Sch.A as the objective gen., the cares (as if from ὁρμαίνω) and groans [of the Greeks] about Helen, i. e. caused by her; by the χωρίζοντες (ibid.) as the subjective gen., the searchings of heart and groans of Helen; the former view is more prob., but ὁ. may be from ὁρμάομαι and mean the rushes, struggles of war.

ὁρμηματος, τό (ὁρμάω), a rush, impulse: [Rev 18:21] (here A. V. violence). (For עֶבְרָה outburst of wrath, [Amo 1:11]; [Hab 3:8], cf. Schleusner, Thesaurus iv., p. 123; an enterprise, venture, Homer, Iliad 2, 356, 590, although interpreters differ about its meaning there (cf. Ebeling, Lex. Homer or Liddell and Scott, v.); that to which one is impelled or hurried away by impulse (rather, incitement, stimulus), Plutarch, mor. (de virt. mor. § 12), p. 452c.)
