Adler number: kappa,2048
Translated headword: Konnos' vote
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to worthless people/things. Konnos was a lyre-player -- one of the ones without a voice, some say -- or in some accounts a kithara-player.
Greek Original:*ko/nnou yh=fon: e)pi\ tw=n ou)deno\s a)ci/wn. o( de\ *ko/nnos lurw|do\s h)=n, w(/s tine/s fasin, tw=n a)fw/nwn: w(s de/ tines kiqarw|do/s.
Notes:
Aristophanes,
Wasps 675, with scholion (the latter giving the variant
*ko/nnou qri=on). Also in
Hesychius and
Photius -- but not, despite this glossing, in the paroemiographers.
This Konnos is perhaps to be distinguished from the inebriated piper Konnas (
kappa 2027), though orthodoxy thinks not: see e.g. LSJ s.v.
*konna=s.
Keywords: biography; daily life; definition; ethics; medicine; meter and music; proverbs
