A tragic actor. 'And we can say, like Hegelochos, "for out of the billows I see again a weasel [γαλῆν ]".' In reference to those avoiding unpleasantness. For this Hegelochus was acting in Euripides' Orestes[1] when he ran out of breath on this line, "for out of the billows I see again a calm [γαλήν' ]" (i.e. γαλήνην in the plural[2]) and was instantly seen to have destroyed the synaloiphe.[3] Plato, too, derides this man for having a displeasing voice.[4] [Aristophanes goes on to say] 'the Empousa is gone.'[5]
