Adler number: epsilon,3709

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]

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
