"They are called Mimiamboi (Greek: μιμίαμβοι, "Mime-iambics"). Mimes were the Dorian product of South Italy and Sicily, and the most famous of them — from which Plato is said to have studied the drawing of character — were the work of Sophron." -- not sure what kind of "mime" this is meant to be. Obviously not mime artist as the article clearly says there was dialog, but there's not another meaning of "mime" that fits. Do we need a new "mime" article to explain this?

I've removed the link to 'Mime artist' and attempted to clarify the language. I added a reference to Mime (disambiguation). A Mime (poetry) page would be preferable to discussing this form of poetry only on the pages of people who wrote it. However, it would only be a stub. Ideally there is a page somewhere on Hellenistic Greek poetical forms that would be an appropriate place for discussing this form of 'mime'. - Meersan (talk) 01:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
