Headword: *eu)rw/tan
Adler number: epsilon,3709
Translated headword: Eurotas
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
In the Epigrams:[1] "a outspread hand covered the over-swelling Eurotas -- not the whole but as much as it could".[2] The story concerns a man's pudendum.[3] And elsewhere a Spartan woman says to her own son: "leave the Eurotas, go to Tartarus, since you know flight to be cowardly: [you are] neither mine nor a Spartan".[4]

Notes:
See also epsilon 3710.
[1] Accusative case in the headword and in both of the epigrams quoted.
[2] Greek Anthology 5.60.5-6 (Rufinus).
[3] Only half-right: the commentator has perceived the sexual imagery but no man is involved; just a young girl bathing and touching herself (cf. LSJ s.v., II).
[4] A garbled version of Greek Anthology 7.531.7-8 (Antipater of Thessalonica): read tele/qeis for tele/qein, and it goes with what follows. (Also should be Doric dialect throughout.) Further extracts from this epigram are at alpha 3852, alpha 4649, kappa 2026, lambda 672, phi 14, and phi 851.
Keywords: dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; gender and sexuality; geography; imagery; medicine; military affairs; poetry; women
