Asking for a friend, but what were people decorating their buttocks with in Hesiod's time.
Edit:
I found the following on https://neoskosmos.com/en/2019/11/24/dialogue/opinion/buttocks-of-greece-an-ancient-arse-country/
Usually an exotic looking glyph they thought meant "love" or "hope" but it actually said "soup".
I love how there is an ancient word specific for "arse-decorated".
