R: Date-rape in ancient Greece

[Guest guest]

Hmm..., here are some nice ones

Atropa

Conium

Datura

Hyoscyamus

Lactuca

Mandragora

Papaver somn

Solanum nigrum

And here are a couple suggested by Theo. " Of plants possessing properties

which affect th emental powers "

Strychnos ( " As to those which affect the mind, strykhnos,..., is said to

upset the mental powers and make one mad " )*

Nerium oleander ( " ...the root of onotheras (oleander) administered in wine

makes the temper gentler and more cheerful " )*

*Teophr. Enq into plants, IX. XVIII. XIX.1
