Notes:
A rough-and-ready version of
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 784/5-795/6. (The text preferred by modern editors does not in fact contain the present headword phrase: see web address 1.)
Me(i)lanion gave his name to a lost comedy by
Antiphanes; and see also e.g.
Xenophon,
On Hunting 1.2.7;
Apollodorus 3.9.
