APGRD Notes
According to the author of the ancient Hypothesis to Aristophanes, Birds, Ameipsias defeated Aristophanes’s play and won first prize with his play. It has been suggested that the real author of the Komastai was Phrynichus who had another play (the Monotropos) in the competition. This play is lost.
