Headword: *polu/mnhstos
Adler number: pi,1988
Translated headword: Polymnestos
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

[Polymnestos] and Ariphrades and Oionichos [are] doers of unspeakable things. But also Polymnesteian [poems] are ridiculed in comedy for shamelessness. Cratinus [writes]: "and sings Polymnesteian [songs] and learns music too".[1] Aristophanes [writes]: "so whoever does not really besmirch such a man, he never drinks out of the same cup with us".[2]
See another Polymnestus under 'Battos'.[3]
