Headword:
Μονοκρήπιδι
Adler number: mu,1229
Translated headword: to the one with a single sandal
Vetting Status: low
Translation: [sc. Meaning] to
Hermes. For they say that when this god gave Perseus one of his shoes, as Perseus left after cutting
Gorgo's [head off], he was left with only one shoe.
Μονοκρήπιδι: τῷ Ἑρμῇ. φασὶ γὰρ τὸν θεὸν τοῦτον Περσεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν τῆς Γοργοῦς τομὴν ἀπιόντι τὸ ἕτερον τῶν ὑποδημάτων δόντα, τὸ ἕτερον ἔχειν μόνον.
Notes:
The dative singular headword is quoted from
Artemidorus 4.63;
Hermes is in the dative because an offering is made to him after a dream.
The myth of the single sandal applies normally to
Jason, and the myths may have become confused in this passage;
Artemidorus mentions
Lycophron in passing, but
Lycophron (
Alexandra 1310) uses the adjective to refer to
Jason.
