I wish they had given the line number! I don't remember that quote but I could see it happening !!

Umm but no it's not. Never take hesiod s advice on women. Only take his advice on non blasphemous urination practices

Ok it's line Hesiod Works and Days Line 370. It seems πυγή is butt. So the word πῡγοστόλος, ον, epith. of a woman, A decorating the πυγή. Apparently in a "lewd". But it's unclear if she will steal your granary or simply steal thing from inside it. I think it refers to courtesans. As to it's truth value, I say Hesiod is the ass.
