On Aen . 2. 277 DServius notes ‘non sine ratione etiam hoc de crinibus dolet Aeneas, quia illis maxime Hector commendabatur, adeo ut etiam tonsura ab eo nomen acceperit, sicut Graeci poetae docent.’ Fraenkel showed ( J.R.S. xxxix [1949], 151 f., = Kl. Beitr . ii. 381 f.) that the reference in Graeci poetae is to Lycophron (1133 ), the source of the comment being provided by Eustathius 1276. 29, a scholion on Il . 22. 401 f. He adds a caution against supposing that Servius’ source referred not only to Lycophron but also to other Greek poets, ‘e.g. some Attic comedians’. That such allusions were in fact made in Comedy is proved by Pollux (2. 29, discussing (Anaxilas, fab. incert . vi, Meineke F.C.G .iii- 355).
