Housman: Actually, “trochos” is Greek, it’s the Greek word for hoop, so when Horace uses “Graecus trochus” it’s rather like saying “French chapeau”. I mean he’s laying it on thick, isn’t he?
Jackson: Is he? What?
Housman: Well, to a Roman, to call something Greek meant – very often – sissylike, or effeminate. In fact, a hoop, a trochos, was a favourite gift given by a Greek man to the boy he, you know, to his favourite boy.
Jackson: Oh, beastliness, you mean?
