‘ ποιητήν, συμβεβήκει τοὺς αὐλητὰς; παρὰ τῶν ποιητῶν λαμβάνειν τοὺς μισθούς, πρωταγωνιστούσης δηλονότι τῆς ποιήσεως, τῶν δ᾽ αὐλητῶν ὑπηρετούντων
τοῖς διδασκάλοις:; ὕστερον δὲ καὶ τοῦτο διεφθάρη,
ὡς καὶ Φερεκράτη τὸν κωμικὸν εἰσαγαγεῖν τὴν Μουσικὴν ἐν γυναικείῳ σχήματι, ὅλην κατῃκισμένην
τὸ σῶμα: ποιεῖ δὲ τὴν Δικαιοσύνην διαπυνθανομένην τὴν αἰτίαν τῆς λώβης καὶ τὴν Ποίησιν
λέγουσαν: μους. ‘λέξω
μὲν οὐκ ἄκουσα: σοί τε γὰρ κλύειν
ἐμοί τε λέξαι θυμὸς ἡδονὴν ἔχει.
’’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1895. 6.
