"He immediately put on the lionskin."[1]
Greek Original:
*leontei/a dora/. o( de\ th\n leontei/an au)ti/ka perieba/leto.
Notes:
With the unglossed headword phrase cf. generally lambda 253. Hesychius lambda647 glosses the phrase 'leo/nteios (sic) dora/' with 'its skin'. The adjective itself can mean anything pertaining to a lion or more specifically (as in the quotation here) its skin.
[1] Quotation unidentifiable. Adler suggests Symeon Metaphrastes; alternatively, perhaps, referring to Heracles (see eta 475)?.
