Английская Википедия:Hedylogos
Шаблон:Greek myth (personified) In Greek Mythology, Hedylogos (Шаблон:Lang-grc) was the god and personification of sweet-talk and flattery. He was part of Aphrodite's procession, and one of the seven Erotes, a group of winged love deities, along with Eros, Anteros, Hermaphroditus, Himeros, Hymen, and Pothos.Шаблон:Sfn
Although not mentioned in any existing literature, he is depicted on ancient Greek vase paintings. A surviving example on a red-figure pyxis from the late 5th century BC shows Hedylogos alongside his brother Pothos drawing the chariot of Aphrodite.
To the Romans he was known by his latinized name Hedylogus. His name, from Шаблон:Lang (hēdys, Шаблон:Gloss) and Шаблон:Lang (logos, Шаблон:Gloss) means somebody who speaks gently, softly mesmerizing people with his words. Apart from ἡδῠ́λόγος there are several other Greek words which describe this unique ability: μελιστάλακτος ({{#invoke:Ancient Greek|translit|μελιστάλακτος}}) and μελισταγής ({{#invoke:Ancient Greek|translit|μελισταγής}}), which can be translated as mellifluous.
