Headword: *yiquristou= *(ermou= kai\ *)/erwtos kai\ *)afrodi/ths
Adler number: psi,99
Translated headword: [of] Whispering Hermes and Eros and Aphrodite
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
What Theseus was the first to do, as Zopyrus says, since Phaedra, as they say, began to whisper to Theseus against Hippolytos, slandering him. But others say that Hermes [was called] the Whisperer for a more human [reason], because people meeting there [sc. at his temple] used to devise unspeakable deeds and to whisper to each other about what they wanted [to do].[1]
*yiqurismo/s ["whispering"] is speaking evil about those who are present, in the Apostle.[2]

Notes:
For "whispering" see also psi 98 (and psi 100). The present headword phrase, in the genitive case, appears more fully in other lexica and grammars ("in Athens there are shrines of..."). Zopyrus = FGrH 336 F2.
