Headword:
*farmako/s
Adler number: phi,105
Translated headword: Pharmakos, scapegoat
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A proper name.
Lysias says it.[1] They used to pick out two men at
Athens to be purifiers of the city during the Thargelia [festival], one representing the men, one the women. That Pharmakos is [also] a proper name is clear: for he stole the sacred bowls of Apollo, was convicted, and was stoned to death by Achilles and his men -- events which what happens at the Thargelia are meant to imitate.[2] Istros tells the story.[3] When
Demosthenes in the [speech]
Against Aristogeiton says "so this is the man, the scapegoat, who will beg him off",[4]
Didymus reckons that the word has a circumflex accent on the penultimate syllable.[5] But for our part we cannot find this usage anywhere.
Demosthenes [sc. in the second speech]
Against Stephanos said "being drugged".[6] Someone "being drugged" has been harmfully affected by drugs, as
Theophrastus indicates in [book] 15 of
Laws.[7]

Notes:
From Harpokration s.v. -- but here the material is unhelpfully rearranged, producing confusion between the proper name and the technical term. See also
phi 104,
phi 106.

Didymus p.314 Schmidt. According to Herodian the Grammarian (
De prosodia catholica 1.150), in the sense of "scapegoat" the word is accented on the last syllable, but in the sense of "sorcerer" it is accented on the first syllable. The alpha is long in
Hipponax and
Callimachus, short in
Aristophanes. See also
epsilon 1925.
