Elephantis (fl. late 1st century BC) was a female Greek poet apparently renowned in the classical world as the author of a notorious sex manual. CLEARLY they are suggesting that Lephantis is the male equivelant of a sex-poet by the dropping of the E (female prefix) ... Or because of the disease Elephantiasis which causes massive growths on the body... which are dubbed "elephant like" due to their sheer size, not because they LOOK like elephants... I'll let you decide which.
