Ἐπεβάτευον

[Meaning] I was having sex with. Herakles says to Dionysos, "Where in the world had you gone off to?"¹ And he says, "I was mounting Kleisthenes." "Mounting" is used for having sex with [someone]; from a metaphor of animals, which have sex by mounting.² Kleisthenes gets reviled in comedy for his shamelessness. He was smooth-cheeked and that made him look like a eunuch. They also mock Kleisthenes for feeling unnatural lusts. The word "I was mounting" [is] nasty.
