Greek Anthology 6.258.1-2 (
Adaeus), quoted already at
omicron 26. On this epigram, in which the farmer Krethon consecrates cakes and livestock to Demeter, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 4-5); (vol. II, 4-5); and further extracts at
alpha 2751,
gamma 165, and
phi 507. Gow and Page note (vol. II, 4) that the adjective
a)ke/rwtos, -on (
hornless, here in the accusative singular) occurs only in this epigram and in the Suda.
