Triphemdos

Overview

A nickname for a person in Marie's household, used once. The word is not found in the Mon Journal index and the diary does not explain it.

Relevance to Marie

On 17 May 1874 in Paris, when Marie, her mother and Dina are staring at a boy in front of them who looks exactly like Rémy: «Maman voulait envoyer Triphemdos, mais cet animal n'est pas allé. Si c'était lui, il n'a pas voulu me reconnaître. C'est mal, et cela me blesse» (019.0267). So Triphemdos is someone her mother might send on an errand, a servant or an acquaintance, whom Marie calls an animal. Rémy is not identified here.

Identity uncertain

We cannot identify Triphemdos. If you can, we would be glad to hear from you.
