“Ἐπίχαρμος: Τιτύρου ἢ Χιμάρου καὶ Σηκίδος, Συρακούσιος, ἢ ἐκ πόλεως Κράστου τῶν Σικανῶν: ὃς εὗρε τὴν κωμῳδίαν ἐν Συρακούσιας ἅμα Φόρμῳ. ἐδίδαξε δὲ δράματα νβ́ ... ἦν δὲ πρὸ τῶν Περσικῶν ἔτη ἓξ διδάσκων ἐν Συρακούσαις.” Suid. “ἔστι μὲν γὰρ οὐδέποτ᾽ οὐδέν, ἀεὶ δὲ γίγνεται. καὶ περὶ τούτου πάντες ἑξῆς οἱ σοφοὶ πλὴν Παρμενίδου συμφερέσθων, Πρωταγόρας τε καὶ Ἡράκλειτος καὶ Ἐμπεδοκλῇς, καὶ τῶν ποιητῶν οἱ ἄκροι τῆς ποιήσεως ἑκατέρας, κωμῳδίας μὲν Ἐπίχαρμος, τραγῳδίας δὲ Ὅμηρος.” Plat. Theaet. 152d
