the Athenian, a tragic and comic poet, was the disciple of Prodicus and Socrates, and applauded by Plato in his Dialogues for his virtue and beauty. His first tragedy obtained the prize; and he was crowned in the presence of upwards of 30,000 persons in the 4th year of the 90th Olympiad. There is nothing now extant of his works, excepting a few quotations, in Aristotle, Athenaeus, and others.
