Headword: *falh=s
Adler number: phi,50
Translated headword: Phales
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Accented?] like Hermes.
Phales [nominative], *falh=tos [genitive].
Just as Homer joined together consternation with flight and said that it was its companion, “wondrous Panic possessed [the Achaeans]”, he said, “the companion of numbing fear”;[1] so too the Comic poet, taking the starting-point from there, said that Phales is companion to Dionysus;[2] for sexual pleasures accompany the Dionysiac drink [i.e. wine].[3]
Phalliones [are] those who campaign in honour of Dionysus to provoke laughter, called thus after the Dionysiac phalluses.[4] Later on they call them polliones, altering the word.

Notes:
[1] Homer, Iliad 9.2 (web address 1).
[2] Aristophanes, Acharnians 263-279 (web address 2); see further, next note.
[3] Up to this point the entry quotes the scholia to Aristophanes, Acharnians 263. (The rest is unidentifiable; Adler's suggestion of a scholion on Gregory of Nazianzus rests on no discernible basis.)
[4] cf. iota 250, iota 251, phi 58.
