Aristophanes,
Frogs 1056-7 (web address 1), with comment from the
scholia there. Some editors have followed Bentley in emending
Parnassos to
Parnes (which is also, like Lykabettos, within Athenian territory); Dover retains
Parnassos, and sees nothing odd in its being a "mountain" of a quite different order of magnitude.
Aristophanes, Frogs, edited with introduction and commentary by K.J. Dover (Oxford 1993)
