Brill's New Pauly: "Pherecrates, important poet of Attic Old Comedy.
First worked as an actor [1, testimony 2a], his own performances beginning after Cratinus and
Crates, but before Hermippus, Phrynichus, Aristophanes, Eupolis... P.'s work demonstrates many
fabulous plot features, while also anticipating many trends of New Comedy
even in antiquity,
it was recognized that P., in the wake of Crates [1], was developing a particular form of Old
Comedy, largely avoiding personal invective and instead relying on ingenious weaving of
plotting strategies...." Nesselrath, Heinz-Günther (Göttingen). Nesselrath, Heinz-Günther
