Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Located] near the [sc. Athenian] acropolis. For the children of Eupalamos were Daidalos[1] and Perdix; Perdix was the mother of Kalos;[2] Daidalos, jealous of Kalos' skill, threw him down from the acropolis; this led Perdix to hang herself; and the Athenians worshipped her. But
Sophocles in
Comics [says that] Perdix was the one killed by Daidalos.[3]

[2]
Pausanias 1.21.4 (web address 1) mentions a tomb of Kalos (between the theatre and the acropolis) and confirms that his uncle murdered him. (He says nothing, however, about a 'shrine of Perdix'.)
[3]
Sophocles fr. 323 Radt (in
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 9.388F [9.41 Kaibel]). The correct name of the play is not
*kwmikoi/ but
*kamikoi/, the Sicilian home of Cocalus; cf.
Strabo 6.3.2. Furthermore, the fragment does not say what is claimed for it here.
