In Rouse's "A First Greek Course"
ἄνθρωπος is listed as ἄνθρωπος ὁ, ἡ and θεός as θεός ὁ, ἡ
Have any of you seen these two words used in the feminine gender?
ἡ θεός in particular would surprise me considering that there is a feminine counterpart θεά

[Titus Marius Crispus]

My H&Q uses ἡ θεός every once in a while. I've never seen the feminine of anthropos, though. It's listed in my H&Q as strictly masculine.

θεά is used only in poetry.

My H&Q uses ἡ θεός every once in a while. I've never seen the feminine of anthropos, though. It's listed in my H&Q as strictly masculine.

Is that in practice exercises or in actual Greek text.

qea/ is used only in poetry.

That is interesting. Any ideas why? Is it used only in Homer's poetry or also in poems by later authors when authors of prose etc. possibly used ἡ θεός

he anthropos does exist, but it does not really mean woman. I means a woman's room or a whore. You won't normally find the form as 'he anthropos' though, it's usually with Krasis.
