Headword: Ὀδόμαντες
Adler number: omicron,44
Translated headword: Odomanti, Odomantians
Vetting Status: low
Translation:

Thracian people. Aristophanes: "Which of the Odomanti has unpetalled his prick?"[1] Instead of "depilated" [it].

Greek Original:

Ὀδόμαντες: ἔθνος Θρᾳκικόν. Ἀριστοφάνης: τίς τῶν Ὀδομάντων τὸ πέος ἀποτεθρίακεν; ἀντὶ τοῦ ἔτιλεν.

Note:

[1] Aristophanes, Acharnians 158; again at alpha 3586 and pi 987. On the verb here, ἀποθριάζειν , implying a Priapic erection of a circumcized penis, see J.Henderson, The Maculate Muse (New Haven 1975) p.118; the scholiast here misunderstands it.
