This article presents a letter dated 3.8.1922 from E. Lobel to H.I. Bell, in which Lobel ridicules Wilamowitz for inventing the word οῦον, ‘rope’. The correspondence illuminates Lobel’s famous antipathy toward Wilamowitz and the ongoing debate over the foremost Hellenist of the early twentieth century.
