Cratinus Junior

Cratinus Junior: Cratinus the Younger (4th century BC) was a comic poet of the Middle Comedy, and was a comtempoary of Plato^[1] and of Corydus^[2]. He flourished in the middle of 4th century BC, and as late as 324 BC.^[3] Some scholars believe that he even lived into the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus.

Titles of his plays:

Gigantes ("The Giants")

Theramenes (Theramenes")

Omphale ("Omphale")

Hypobolimaeus ("The Changeling")

Cheiron ("Chiron")

Many fragments ascribed to Cratinus were probably by Cratinus the Younger.
