Extract

K. J. Dover, in Greek Homosexuality (London, 1978), p. 125 n. 1, observes: ‘My interpretation ad loc. (sc. in his Commentary), that drosos is Cowper's secretion, appearing when the boy's penis has been erected by titillation, is far-fetched (I am bound to agree with some reviewers on this), but no other interpretation so far seems to me to pay enough attention to the semantics of drosos or to explain why Right regards the beauty of “drosos and down” as incompatible with anointing below the navel’.
