	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 96.04.10 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Of the alternatives, that an actor dressed as the cheese-grater or that an actual cheese-grater was carried on stage, M. seems to prefer the first, saying of the second only that it "cannot be excluded".
		At 173 M. says that, if the Phrynichos mentioned at Wasps 1301-1302 and that involved in the 411 revolution are the same, one should not necessarily assume that Phrynichos and his friends held oligarchic views at the time of Wasps.
		Part of his argument for doing so is that Thucydides reports Phrynichos as opposing oligarchy in 412/411; but it is more complicated than that, for Phrynichos' opposition is primarily not to oligarchy per se, but to the timing of that particular coup, and especially to the involvement of Alkibiades.

		Nor is he always impossible to defeat: Pherekydes relates how, sent by Zeus to claim Sisyphos, the god is instead held in strong bonds by his intended victim, so that no one can die; finally, Ares contrives some way to release him.
		Thanatos also had a role in Phrynichos'; lost Alkestis, apparently appearing on stage (as in Euripides' play) and cutting off a lock of his victim's hair to consecrate her.
		Phrynichos dramatized the myth in his Pleuroniaia, and there the Moirai may have played a greater role, though presumably not on stage, since the action surely revolved around Meleagros' death years later.

		We can read the variety of first century documents and compare their style, etc. Since we have a similar range in modern spoken languages, it might be appropriate to suggest that the koine data of the NT is analogous to what we might call conversational English (or whatever other language you prefer) today.

		Sophocles remarked to the guest who lay beside him: “How beautiful is the line of Phrynichos: ‘Shining on purple cheeks the light of love.’ ”
		His neighbour, who was a schoolmaster of Eretria answered him: ‘ You are doubtless a sage poet, Sophocles, but Phrynichos did not express himself well in calling the cheeks of a beautiful boy purple, because, if a Persian had painted them with purple colour, the boy would appear no longer beautiful.
		Therefore one must not compare the beautiful to the obviously not beautiful.

	Francis X. Ryan, Phrynichos kommt vor Gericht (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Since Herodotos says that the playwright Phrynichos was fined by "the Athenians," historians have often inferred that he was condemned by a popular tribunal.
		The context of the statement shows however that this formulation of Herodotos is of no avail in identifying the authority which meted out justice to Phrynichos.
		The amount of the fine and the outlawry of the play are better indications of popular involvement in the affair.

		If people have to dismiss television to feel good about themselves, to feel superior because they don't watch Coronation Street and Jerry Springer (and believe that that's all they'll ever find on a television screen), so be it.
		No doubt there were those who dismissed Aeschylus and Phrynichos because they didn't write old-fashioned dithyramboi and preferred that new-fangled genre, tragoidia.
		And just as most of what's on the boob-tube is garbage, I imagine most of what you saw in the Theater at Dionysos was, too (Xenocles, whoever the and#@!

		The artist avoided the aftermath of wounds, but I see red.
		After the fall of Miletus, the poet Phrynichos staged a drama about it.
		But the play's performance was forbidden by Athenians who fined him "for reminding them of afflictions which affected them intimately." I consider my search for unrelenting intimacy -- a search I conduct despite my heart's cocoon of encaustic.

		In other words, it is claimed that theatre in relation to Greek plays must be of a certain kind.
		Some aspects of this seem to be related to a sense of a crisis in Classics (especially Greek) and one senses that ‘Who killed Homer?’ may shortly be succeeded by ‘Who killed Greek drama?’ Then there is what I call the Phrynichos syndrome.
		Phrynichos crossed the safety gap between theatre and ‘real life’ and between mythology and civic life.

		In investigating other possible Attic contexts C. constructs a tenuous argument for connecting the pyrrhiche with the Athenian Apatouria.
		The second Phrynichos, son of Melanthas, is otherwise unknown, and there are reasons to think that his entry refers to the first Phrynichos.
		Aelian, meanwhile, preserves the item that Phrynichos was elected general because one of his tragedies contained bellicose songs appropriate for pyrrhic dancers.

		When Achilles has left, the satyrs who form the choir, and who probably also had been after him, try to comfort the grief-stricken Chiron.
		In another lost play of Sophocles appeared Troilos, the tender son of the Trojan King Priamos, about whose juvenile beauty already the older tragedian Phrynichos had raved, as the beloved of Achilles.
		EURIPIDES (480-406 BC), the youngest of the three eminent Athenian tragedians, whose works reflect the doubts and insecurity of a sceptical mind and therefore have a special appeal to our time.

		Thus the whole of Phrynichos' curse at Syrakosios might be "Syrakosios has the mange; I hope he gets it really good".
		The problem is then how the scholiast extrapolated a decree on comedy from only that bit.
		Sophokles was a truly blessed man; he lived a long life, and died a happy and accomplished person.

		however, runs like an iambic trimeter, and it has attractively been conjectured to be a verse from Phrynichos' play.
		I should prefer to think that Phrynichos was fined because he painted — in bad taste — an unflattering picture of the Milesians.
		Miltiades' return and re-entry into Athenian politics was caused by external forces and has therefore to be treated as a separate case.

		Et tout le monde de s'indigner, de se liguer contre Phrynichos, lequel, ne voyant pas d'autre échappatoire à la situation, entreprit de guérir le mal par un mal plus grand.
		(12) Mais Phrynichos, qui le pressentait et s'attendait à une seconde accusation de la part d'Alcibiade, le devança: il prévint lui-même les Athéniens que leurs ennemis étaient sur le point d'appareiller et leur conseilla de se tenir près de leurs vaisseaux et de fortifier leur camp.
		Dès lors Phrynichos va virer de bord - il comptera au nombre des oligarques de 411, les sinistres Quatre-Cents -, allant jusqu'à prendre le parti de l'ultime trahison: il offre à l'amiral spartiate Astyochos de lui livrer la flotte athénienne.

		In 535 BCE, Thespis is said to have added a prologue and set speeches to a choral ode; these comprise the core constituents of a Greek tragedy and his is the first name we hear of in association with tragedy.
		In 511 BCE, Phrynichos' play The Taking of Miletos forever changed the subject matter of tragedy; we are told that the audience reacted so emotionally to his dramatization of this historical event that real events became taboo subjects for tragedy.
		From then on, only myth was deemed appropriate subject matter for tragedy.

	Toronto Slavic Quarterly:
		All this contradicts the unconditionality of the assertion that "It has already for a long time been unshakably established..." On the contrary, studying the life of the European novel, one can witness that the novel has a definite tendency to become more dramatic, and the longer it lives, the more pronounced this tendency becomes.
		And what did Thespis, Phrynichos, Aeschylus and Sophocles really do, if not dramatize contemporary epics?
		Tragedy is always born out of the epic, to be more accurate, out of the themes of the epic.

		The changes that he does record are: introduction of a second actor by Aeschylus (career: 498-456), the third actor and "scene painting" by Sophokles (début: 468), more serious plots and elevated language "at a late stage", and the change in metre from trochaic tetrameter to iambic trimeter.

		Now you must talk as fast as you can, and see that you both speak elegantly, and no similes or the things someone else might say.
		Well, of myself and what sort of poet I am, I will tell at the end: but first I'll prove that this man was an impostor and a cheat, and how he took the spectators and used to fool the dupes reared with Phrynichos.
		First, he'd wrap up and sit down someone or other, An Achilles, or Niobe, not showing the face, a facade of tragedy, not mumbling so much as this.
