Aristophanes [writes] in Frogs: "there is one [sc. way to Hades] from a cord and a stool."[4] From the nominative [form] κάλως .
Greek Original:
Κάλως: σχοινίον. καὶ παροιμία: πάντα κάλων κινεῖν. τροπικῶς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱστοῦ λέγει. ἁπλοῦν σε δεῖ τὰ ἄρμενα: τουτέστι πάντα κινεῖν ὑπὲρ τοῦ περιγενέσθαι αὐτοῦ. καὶ Κάλως, κάλω, Ἀττικῶς. Ἀριστοφάνης Βατράχοις: μία μέν ἐστιν ἀπὸ κάλω καὶ θρανίου. ἀπὸ εὐθείας τῆς κάλως.
