Χιανεύει καὶ λαικάζει

Aristophanes [writes]: Agathon is beginning "to put in the stocks the beginnings of a drama. He is bending new felloes of verses; some he is turning on the lathe, others he is patching together; and he is coining maxims and using rhetorical figures; he is moulding, he is modelling, he is smelting... [Another speaker:] ... and going whoring."
