英语词汇orchis的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

orchis. The identity of the prodigious true male orchis of the Greeks and Romans has never been established. Mystery still surrounds this magic plant whose root was dissolved in goat’s milk by the ancients. One drink of this solution, wrote an in- credulous historian, and a man could perform sex as many as 70 consecutive times. Orchis is supposed to have been the main ingredient of satyrion, the love food of those lecherous satyrs of Greek mythology. It is a Greek word meaning “testicle,” sup- posedly used because of the root’s resemblance to that male organ. The orchid, the Turkish Orchis morio, the truffle, the mandrake, and several other plants have been credited with be- ing the male orchis of the ancients, but the true identity of satyrion is probably lost for all time. See also orchid.
