Headword: Axestos
Adler number: alpha,2802
Translated headword: uncouth
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Xenokles the son of Karkinos used to be mocked as an uncouth and allegorical poet.
Greek Original:
Axestos: Xenoklês ho Karkinou ekômôideito hôs axestos poiêtês kai allêgorikos.
Notes:
From the scholia to Aristophanes, Frogs 86, where he is mentioned.
For this Xenokles (an Athenian tragic poet of the late C5 BCE) see also kappa 396, and generally OCD(4) p.1580, s.v. Xenocles. The two attributes credited to him here do not make an obvious pairing, and only the first of them may be authentic (in respect of his reported fondness for mechanical devices).
