Stentorian

Stentorian is an adjective that means loud or powerful in sound. Our word of the day is one of many words that have its origin in Greek mythology. In the classic work known of The Iliad, Stentor was the herald, or bringer of news, for the Greek forces. He was noted for his loud, thunderous voice. I had a feeling James wouldn’t work out as a kindergarten teacher. Something about his stentorian nature tends to frighten children.
