Notes:
[1] This is evidently a comment on
Aristophanes,
Frogs 13-14, where the three poets are mentioned in this order and subjected to mild ridicule (web address 1). See also
lambda 808 (on Lykis). On this
Phrynichus (there are several) see also
phi 763 and
phi 766. On
Amipsias see
alpha 1572.
[2] For criticism in these terms (implying emotional frigidity) cf. e.g.
epsiloniota 148,
eta 358,
theta 137,
mu 1261,
mu 1262,
sigma 642,
psi 176.
[3]
Aristophanes,
Birds 748-50, with minor variations (see web address 2). A snippet of the same passage is also quoted at
gamma 310.
