Sophocles says this.
Greek Original:
*)anta/rhs nukteri\s o)/yesi: fhsi\ *sofoklh=s.
Notes:
Sophocles fr. 747 Radt: contextless, and (thus) enigmatic. It is unclear whether o)/yesi refers to what he looked like or what he could see like.
'Antares' is best attested as the red star of that name, in the constellation of Scorpio.
For another individual compared to a bat see chi 160.
