Aristophanes, Lysistrat. 151.,
Εἰ γὰρ καθῄμεθ’ἔνδον ἐντετριμμέναι κἀν τοῖς χιτωνίοισι τοῖς ἀμοργίνοις γυμναὶ παρίοιμεν, δέλτα παρατετιλμέναι, στύοιντ’ἂν ἅνδρες κἀπιθυμοῖεν πλεκοῦν.
(For if we sat within doors anointed with unguents, and if we appeared lightly clad in robes of Amorgian flax, our bellies plucked clear of hair, the men would all have erections, and would be fain to lie with us.) For the same reason Mnesilochus was freed of hair on the genitals and in all other parts of the body, so as not to be recognised in the assemblage of women.
