Headword: Psithuristou Hermou kai Erôtos kai Aphroditês
Adler number: psi,99
Translated headword: [of] Whispering Hermes and Eros and Aphrodite
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
What Theseus was the first to do, as Zopyrus says, since Phaedra, as they say, began to whisper to Theseus against Hippolytos, slandering him. But others say that Hermes [was called] the Whisperer for a more human [reason], because people meeting there [sc. at his temple] used to devise unspeakable deeds and to whisper to each other about what they wanted [to do].[1]
*yiqurismo/s ["whispering"] is speaking evil about those who are present, in the Apostle.[2]
Greek Original:
Psithuristou Hermou kai Erôtos kai Aphroditês: haper prôtos epoiêsen, hôs phêsi Zôpuros, Thêseus, epei Phaidra, hôs phasin, epsithurize Thêsei kata Hippolutou, diaballousa auton. hoi de anthrôpinôteron phasin Hermên Psithuristên, para to anthrôpous ekei sunerchomenous ta aporrêta suntithesthai kai psithurizein allêlois, peri hôn boulontai.

Notes:
For "whispering" see also psi 98 (and psi 100). The present headword phrase, in the genitive case, appears more fully in other lexica and grammars ("in Athens there are shrines of..."). Zopyrus = FGrH 336 F2.
[1] cf. psi 100.
[2] 2 Corinthians 12.20; see the note at phi 508.
