Aristophanes says about Antimachus: "in a simple word, may Zeus destroy badly Antimachus the son of Psekas, who dismissed my wretched self without dinner. May I yet see him wanting a squid, which hissing on the spit by the sea runs aground lying on a table; and then as he is about to take it, may a dog snatch it and eat it. This [is] one bad thing for him."[3]
