Malakia

Malakia (Greek: ἀνανδρία – anandria; literally, μαλακία – malakia; Latin: mollites) was a particular type of cowardice, associated with effeminacy in men, that was widely condemned in ancient Greek society. To the ancient Greek, bravery was such an essential character trait of manliness that its absence was associated with femininity. Malakia could also refer to races, cultures, and societies as a whole.
