(κἀκείνου) Ἀτρείδης μὲν ἅμαρτε, παραὶ δέ οἱ ἐτράπετ’ ἔγχος· αἰχμὴ δ’ ἐξεσύθη παρὰ νείατον ἀνθερεῶνα. (Now him Atreides missed, and his spear was turned aside past him, and the point sped rushing past the very edge of his chin). Similarly _Diogenes_ according to Diogenes Laertius’ (VI. 53.) report parodied the Homeric verse (Iliad X. 282): “No sleeper must drive a spear through your back,” as he woke a handsome youth, who lay incautiously asleep. [131] In _Festus_, under the word bigenera (hybrids), we read: _Cicursus_ ex apro et scropha domestica, (_Cicursus_ from the wildboar and the domestic sow). Comp. _Varro_, De L. L. bk. VII. p. 368. edit. Sp. [132] _Aristotle_, De Generatione Animalium, bk. IV. ch. 3., Παραπλήσιον τούτῳ καὶ τὸ νόσημα τὸ καλούμενον σατυρίασις· καὶ γὰρ ἐν τούτῳ διὰ ῥεύματος ἢ πνεύματος ἀπέπτου πλῆθος εἰς τὰ μόρια τοῦ προσάπου παρεμπεσόντος ἄλλου ζώου καὶ σατύρου φαίνεται τὸ πρόσωπον. (Akin to this also is the disease known as Satyriasis; for in this complaint, in consequence of the super-abundance of rheum or crude humour that has become segregated to the regions of the face, the latter seems that of a strange animal or a Satyr). [133] Besides Acro, _Florus Christianus_ also, in his notes on Aristophanes’ Wasps v. 1337., referred the morbus Campanus to _fellation_, saying, Hac detestanda libidine iuxta Lesbios usi sunt _etiam Campani_ sive Nolani, ut ex Ausonio et Horatio patet, quorum testimonia non arcessam, quia hoc occupatum ab eruditioribus. Hoc tantum dicam, aenigma illud, quod in Clodii Metelli uxorem iactum putant: In triclinio Coa, in cubiculo Nola, respicere ad hanc Lesbiam et Campanam foeditatem. (This hateful form of lust was practised by the _Campanians_ or Nolans, as well as by the Lesbians, as is manifest from what Ausonius and Horace say,—whose evidence however I will not quote, this ground being already preoccupied by more learned writers. This much only will I add, viz. the riddle that was directed against the wife of Metellus Clodius: “On the banquet-couch a Coan, in the bed-chamber a Nolan,” and which is thought to allude to this Lesbian and Campanian abomination). The riddle is found in _Quintilian_, Instit. Orat. VIII. 6.; but is differently explained in Forberg, loco citato p. 283. He says: _Coam_ dici, quod voluerit in triclinio coire, _Nolam_, quod noluerit in cubiculo, (that she was called a _Coan_, because willing to have intercourse on the banquet-couch, a Nolan, because unwilling to do so in the bed-chamber), that is to say, Clodia would satisfy her lust only publicly, not in private.
