Philinus
Yes, said Sarapion, she was called Mnesaretê, but she got the nickname of Phrynê Toad. because of her sallow complexion. In many instances, apparently, nicknames cause the real names to be obscured. For example, Polyxena, the mother of Alexander, they say was later called Myrtalê and Olympias and Stratonicê. Eumetis of Rhodes most people call, even to this day, Cleobulina Cf. Moralia, 148 d. from her father; and Herophilê of Erythrae, who had the gift of prophecy, they addressed as Sibyl. You will hear the grammarians assert that Leda was named Mnesinoë and Orestes Achaeus But how, said he, with a look at Theon, do you think to demolish this charge of guilt against Phrynê?
