This is fascinating. I'm working on Oedipus adaptations in the Middle Ages (because of the Judas Oedipal stories, my book project is on Judas) and haven't got to Lydgate yet, but this seems to me very similar to something Jerome also says about not knowing if Judas was married or had any children.

A great question & quite fortuitously I saw one today! Doing a big Piers Plowman re-read and in B.5, line 177, Wrath has 'flux of a foul mouth' for a few days after drinking too much.

Thank you!! I have now found a 2003 translation so luckily I'm not having to sit translating it all slowly by myself at least! But that still seems relatively recent & can hardly find any citations of that passage in existing pubs, but may be looking in the wrong places/not looking well enough!
