[1] Same glossing in the
Synagoge,
Photius (mu154 Theodoridis), and the
Lexica Segueriana. Other lexica have
katafe/reia "propensity" (Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon,
Hesychius, the
Etymologicum Magnum), and spell it out: "towards sexual matters" (
a)frodi/sia) in
Hesychius, "towards coitus" in the
Etymologicum Magnum. (Compare also a scholion on
Homer,
Iliad 24.30, where the headword occurs in the accusative, as also at
Herodotus 4.154.2.) The second glossing noun here is rendered 'madness for women' in LSJ s.v., citing an instance in
Chrysippus, but the remainder of the entry shows that such sexual mania can also be predicated
of women.
[2] Otherwise unrecorded: fr.132 Merkelbach & West (
Fragmenta Hesiodea). The reference is presumably to the mad daughters of Proetus mentioned in
Pausanias 8.18.7-8.18.8 (web address 1).
