here the "ē' hoiē"-formula is styled as the name of a woman, cleverly rendered "anne other" by helen asquith, and the grumpy hesiod who reviled his home in ascra at "works and days" 639–40 becomes a discomfited lover-boy in the village. phanocles, a near contemporary of hermesianax, composed an elegiac catalogue of mythological pederastic relationships entitled the "loves" or "beautiful boys" in which each story was introduced by the formula "ē' hōs" (), "or like". nicaenetus of samos, a later hellenistic poet, wrote his own "catalogue of women" and the otherwise unknown sosicrates (or sostratus) of phanagoria was said to have written an "ehoioi" (), the masculine equivalent of ""ehoiai"". while allusions to the ehoie-formula and catalogue structure of the poem are most easily recognized, interaction with the "catalogue" in hellenistic poetry was not limited to plays upon these aspects: direct engagement with the myths found in the "catalogue" were a popular way for the alexandrians to show their hesiodic affiliations.
