Literature

Physignathos [one who swells the checks]. King of the Frogs, and son of Pelus [mud], slain by Troxartas, the Mouse-king.
"Great Physignathos I, from Peleus' race,
Begot in fair Hydromede's embrace.
Where, by the nuptial bank that paints his side,
The swift Eridanus delights to glide."
Parnell: Battle of the Frogs, bk. i. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
