According to this interpretation, Agathon is mocked in the Thesmophoriazousae not only for his notorious effeminacy, but also for the pretentiousness of his dress: "he seems to think of himself, in all his elegant finery, as a rival to the old Ionian poets, perhaps even to Anacreon himself."

I henhold til denne tolkningen ble Agathon latterliggjort i Aristofanes' komedie ikke bare for sin beryktede femininitet, men også for sin pretensiøse klesdrakt: «han synes å tenke på seg selv, i all sin elegante pynt, som en rival til de gamle joniske poetene, kanskje selv til Anakreon.»
