          "definition": "<i>cicala, Cicada plebeia</i> or allied species, a winged insect fond of basking on trees, when the male makes a chirping or clicking noise by means of certain drums or ‘tymbals’ underneath the wings, whence the joke in Xenarch. 14, εἶτʼ . . οἱ τέττιγες οὐκ εὐδαίμονες, ὧν ταῖς γυναιξὶν οὐδʼ ὁτιοῦν φωνῆς ἔνι; prov., τέττιγος ἐδράξω πτεροῦ Archil. 143 (v. συλλαμβάνω II.1). This noise is freq. used as a simile for sweet sounds, Il. 3.151, Hes. Op. 582, Sc. 393, Simon. 173, 174, etc.; and Plato calls them οἱ Μουσῶν προφῆται, Phdr. 262d; but they also became a prov. for garrulity, λαλεῖν τέττιξ Aristopho 10.7: τ. πολλοὶ γινόμενοι νοσῶδες τὸ ἔτος σημαίνουσι Thphr. Sign. 54. They were thought to sing continually without food or drink, Ar. Nu. 1360, Pl. Phdr. 259c; or on a diet of air and dew, Arist. HA 532b13, Theoc. 4.16, AP 6.120 ( Leon.), Anacreont. 32, Plu. QConv. 2.660f. The Greeks ate τέττιγες to whet the appetite, Ath. 4.133b, cf. Ar. Frr. 51, 569.4, Alex. 162.13 (anap.), Anaxandr. 41.59 (anap., unless here the τέττιξ ἐνάλιος is meant, v. infr. II); and as a medical remedy, Dsc. 2.51, Orib. Fr. 64.",
