英语词汇zoilost的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Zoilost. Not many authors would want the fourth-century-b. c. Greek philosopher Zoilus as a critic. The cynical Zoilus was nicknamed “Homeromastix,” “the scourge of Homer” for his severe criticism of the poet, though he was just as scathing about Plato and Isocrates, too. The spiteful but witty Zoilus called the companions of Homer’s Odysseus “weeping porkers” (Circe turned them into swine). So scathing were his words that his name is still used for a spiteful, envious, malignant, carping critic.
