Adler number: sigma,1764
Translated headword: Sphyromachos, Sphyromachus
Vetting Status: high
Translation: This man introduced a decree requiring women and men to sit separately.
Greek Original:*sfuro/maxos: ou(=tos yh/fisma ei)shgh/sato, w(/ste ta\s gunai=kas kai\ tou\s a)/ndras xwri\s kaqe/zesqai.
Note:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Ecclesiazusae 22, where this name occurs (web address 1). The name, unparalleled, should be Phyromachos. But more important, there can never have been such a decree, since women could not attend the Athenian Assembly. The Aristophanic text is uncertain and does not demonstrably presuppose a decree -- on any subject -- at all; rather, what may be involved is merely a remark by Ph. involving
hetairai (
epsilon 3265).
