To grimace is to draw the lips together toward each other. The same thing is also called 'to pout'. But some [sc. explain the phrase in Aristophanes as] you [women] draw your eyes shut in displeasure. Or just like mice[1] you slink away and you wink. Or you pout or you sneer. Aristophanes [writes]: "why do you grimace at me and shake your heads? Why has your skin changed color? Why are you shedding a tear?"[2]
