φιλογύνης δ’ ἦν καὶ Εὐριπίδης ὁ ποιητής. {{#lemma: Ἱερώνυμος | Fr. 36 Wehrli}} γοῦν ἐν ἱστορικοῖς ὑπομνημασίν φησιν οὕτως· “εἰπόντος Σοφοκλεῖ τινος ὅτι μισογύνης ἐστὶν Εὐριπίδης, “ἔν γε ταῖς τραγωιδίαις”, ἔφη ὁ Σοφοκλῆς· “ἐπεὶ ἐν [γε] τῆι κλίνηι φιλογύνης.””

<div id="translation">
Euripides the poet was a lover of women. At any rate, Hieronymus in his ''Historical Commentaries'' says the following: ‘When someone said to Sophocles that Euripides was a misogynist, Sophocles replied, ‘In his tragedies, yes, but in bed he is a woman-lover.’’
