Headword: Τὰ πρῶτα Ἄρης εἰς τοὺς παῖδας ἐπῃνεῖτο
Adler number: tau,108
Translated headword: at first Ares was praised in respect of the youths
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[sc. A proverb] in reference to those who are orderly at the outset but later behave shamefully.
Greek Original:
Τὰ πρῶτα Ἄρης εἰς τοὺς παῖδας ἐπῃνεῖτο: ἐπὶ τῶν ἐν ἀρχῇ κοσμίων, μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἀσελγαινόντων.
Notes:
This gloss is also in some of the paroemiographers, e.g. Diogenianus 8.38 -- though there it belongs with Suda's tau 109, q.v.
Probably, as has been suggested, 108 is a textual corruption (here only) of 109.
Keywords: daily life; military affairs; mythology; proverbs; religion
