Adler number: mu,291
Translated headword: kneading
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning them who are] eating a lot. [The verb comes] from barley-meal being kneaded. Aristophanes [writes]: "and Herakles-es kneading". These things are hinting at Euripides, who created a hungry Herakles and a cowardly Dionysos and a seducer Zeus and a weeping slave.

Aristophanes, Peace 741 (web address 1), with comment from the scholia there; but read Eupolis (epsilon 3657) for the Suda's 'Euripides'.
