The Greek root of 'stentorian' is found in the personal proper name of Stentor, a mythological Greek. He served as the herald of the Greek forces during the Trojan War. The English adjective means 'loud voiced', because of Stentor's powerful vocal reputation. In fact, Stentor was reputed to have the vocal volume of 100 men. He died after he lost in a shouting contest with Hermes, the divine messenger.
