Go here for more words for excrement. And here for “shitting the bed.”
Aristophanes, Wealth 625-628
“If I flash lightning, the rich dudes
And the important fools
All pray and shit in their pants.”
κἂν ἀστράψω, ποππύζουσιν
κἀγκεχόδασίν μ᾿ οἱ πλουτοῦντες
καὶ πάνυ σεμνοί.
Damox, fr. 2. 15-16
“Rub him down with shit / and expel him from school”
μινθώσας ἄφες / ὡς ἐκ διατριβῆς

“You have fallen into Augeus’ dung: this means “you are immersed in filth”
Εἰς τὴν Αὐγέου κόπρον ἐμπέπτωκας: ἤγουν ἐβορβορώθης.
Eubulus. Fr. 52 [from Athenaeus]
“After that, I left Thebes, where they dine all night
And all day long and each person has a toilet
Next to his door—and there’s nothing better
For a person who’s full. Someone who is walking far
And needs to shit after eating a lot,
He’s hilarious to see as he bites down on his lips.”
μετὰ ταῦτα Θήβας ἦλθον, οὗ τὴν νύχθ᾿ ὅλην
τήν θ᾿ ἡμέραν δειπνοῦσι καὶ κοπρῶν᾿ ἔχει
ἐπὶ ταῖς θύραις ἕκαστος, οὗ πλήρει βροτῷ
οὐκ ἔστι μεῖζον ἀγαθόν· ὡς χεζητιῶν
μακρὰν βαδίζων, πολλὰ δ᾿ † ἐσθίων † ἀνήρ,
δάκνων τὰ χείλη παγγέλοιός ἐστ᾿ ἰδεῖν.
Diogenianus, 3.49
“You are a Kyprian ox”. This is a proverb in place of ‘shit-eater.’ For Eudoksos records that these are shit-eaters.”
Βοῦς Κύπριος εἶ· ἀντὶ τοῦ σκατοφάγος. Εὔδοξος γὰρ περὶ τούτων ἱστορεῖ ὅτι κοπροφάγοι εἰσίν.
