[1128] λέχος … πορσυνέεις: cf. Od. 3. 403, τῷ δ᾽ ἄλοχος δέσποινα λέχος πόρσυνε καὶ εὐνήν, where πόρσυνε = ηὺτρέπιζε. It was then used generally of the wife 'sharing' her husband's bed, e.g. Od. 7. 347, πὰρ δὲ γυνὴ δέσποινα λέχος πόρσυνε καὶ εὐνήν. See M. and R. on these passages, and Ellis on Cat. 64. 163.
