Λύκις

Also spoken of as Lykos.¹ He was the target of comedy on the basis of being a frigid poet. Aristophanes [writes] : "why on earth should I have carried these bags, if I shall be doing none of the things Phrynichus created, and Lykis and Ameipsias". So these men [are] the three sub-frigid comic poets. Phrynichos used to be the butt of vulgar jokes in the comedies on each count [sc. of three]: he was lampooned for being a foreigner who wrote poor verses and for using alien words and for bad metre. There were three other Phrynichuses too. "Comedy is full of men carrying baggage".
