Brill's New Pauly: "Philoxenus of Cythera, dithyramb poet, from 435/34 to 380/79 BC.. As a representative of the 'New Music' (Music IV.D.) he was the author of 24 dithyrambs (Suda s.v. Φ.) including a famous Kýklōps (or Galáteia), which was parodied by Aristoph. Plut. (schol. Aristoph. Plut. 819f. Campbell). Anecdotes are told of his activities at the court of Dionysius [1] I of Syracuse and his stay in Ephesus, where he died (Suda) [1. 138-175]. He is sometimes considered to be the author of the 'Banquet' (Δεῖπνον
Deîpnon), of which quite large fragments survive in dactyloepitrites, although it is mostly ascribed to P. of Leucas (836 PMG). It is disputed whether this is really a dithyramb...." Robbins, Emmet (Toronto). Philoxenus." Brill's New Pauly. Antiquity volumes edited by: Hubert Cancik and
