N2 - Let n be any integer with n > 1, and let F ⊆ L be fields such that [L:F] = 2, L is Galois over F, and L contains a primitive nth root of unity ζ. For a cyclic Galois extension M = L(α1/n) of L of degree n such that M is Galois over F, we determine, in terms of the action of Gal(L/F) on α and ζ, what group occurs as Gal(M/F). The general case reduces to that where n = pe, with p prime. For n = pe, we give an explicit parametrization of those α that lead to each possible group Gal(M/F).
