Adler number: kappa,1758
Translated headword: weaker than Kleisthenes; weaker than Clisthenes

Translation: This man was attacked for (sc. homosexual) debauchery, and used to act the woman. And
Cratinus [says]: "You constantly act the fool" -- depicting him in an episode -- "Cleisthenes will be ridiculous playing dice".
Kleisthenous akratesteros: houtos epi kinaidiai diebeblêto kai egunaikizeto. kai Kratinos: lêreis echôn: graphôn auton en epeisodiôi: geloios estai Kleisthenês kubeuôn.
Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Clouds 355, where this individual is mentioned. (The actual headword phrase, however, occurs neither in that passage nor in the scholion and is otherwise unattested.)
The
Cratinus passage is fr. 195 Kock = 208 K.-A. (but for its first part see also
Aristophanes,
Frogs 512).
The feminine characteristics of this man are the butt of numerous jokes in
Aristophanes. See also (e.g.)
beta 288,
epsilon 2021,
kappa 1756,
pi 3070.
