Antiphanes

ANTIPHANES (c. 408-334 B.C.), the most important writer of the Middle Attic Comedy with the exception of Alexis. He was apparently a foreigner who settled in Athens, where he began to write about 387. More than 200 of the 365 (or 26o) comedies attributed to him are known to us from the titles and considerable fragments preserved in Athenaeus.
