Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 3,
1867, p. 346: "Phormis or Phormus, ....He came originally from Maenalus in Arcadia, and having
removed to Sicily, became intimate with Gelon...There seems to be little or no doubt that this
is the same person who is associated by Aristotle with Epicharmus as one of the originators of
comedy, or of a particular form of it..."
