Headword: Boupalos
Adler number: beta,452
Translated headword: Boupalos
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning a] donkey.[1]
Aristophanes [writes]: "by Zeus, if someone should knock their jaws once or twice just like [those] of Boupalos, they would not have a voice."[2] In Hipponax: "take my cloak, I will give Boupalos' eye a knock."[3]
Greek Original:
Boupalos: onos. Aristophanês: ei nê Dia tis tas gnathous toutôn dis ê tris ekopsen hôsper boupalou, phônên an ouk eichon. para tôi Hippônakti: labete mou thoimation, kopsô boupalou ton ophthalmon.
Notes:
Apart from the primary gloss (for which see n.1 below), this material reappears under kappa 2062, q.v.
[1] The gloss is erroneous, since the headword is a proper name (see n. 3 below). Adler cites Hesychius beta949 for comparison, and his onoma ("name") has apparently become onos here.
[2] Aristophanes, Lysistrata 360-1 (web address 1 below).
[3] Hipponax fr. 120 West. See iota 588 both for him and for his enemy Boupalos.
