There's an amusing new entry on the Old Curmudgeon's blog (Laudator temporis acti) on the Homeric epithet noted in the rubric: -- and on suggested new English coinages: "bathycolposcope" and "bathycolposcopy":

οὔτοι ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς πάντα θεοὶ θνητοῖς ὑπέδειξαν,
ἀλλὰ χρόνῳ ζητέοντες ἐφευρίσκουσιν ἄμεινον. (Xenophanes, Fragment 16)
