Check your sources. Odyssey 15.324 reads: "hoia te tois
agathoisi
- paradrôôsi cherêes". In fact, the "Slavic metathesis"
tricked you
once more, it's 15.234 which reads "tên hoi epi phresi thêke
thea
dasplêtis - Erinus".
Dasplêtis means "horrid", "frightful". There is no "hair"
word in
this context.

[Moeller]
beside the fact a person with long unkempt hair does not make
a very friendly impresion but mostly an "horrid", "frightfull"
one,
I still dont know what means this:"crinibus passis":-)
