Headword: *bou/lei diama/xesqai *ghruo/ni tetrapti/lw|
Adler number: beta,432
Translated headword: do you want to do battle with a four-winged Geryon?
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
That is, with a three-headed [one]. For he had three crests on his helmet and gave Herakles a hell of a struggle.
Greek Original:
*bou/lei diama/xesqai *ghruo/ni tetrapti/lw|: toute/sti trikefa/lw|. trei=s ga\r lo/fous ei)=xen e)n th=| perikefalai/a| kai\ polu\n a)gw=na pare/sxe tw=| *(hraklei=.
Note:
The headword phrase quotes Aristophanes, Acharnians 1082 (web address 1), and the gloss comes from the scholia thereto; cf. gamma 254 with the notes there. The present version ineptly conflates what it needed to say about Lamachos (lambda 81) -- the helmet -- and about Geryon.
