Cratinus
Cratinus (; 519 BC – 422 BC) was an Athenian comic poet of the Old Comedy.
==Life==
Cratinus was victorious 27 known times, eight〔Erich Segal The Death of Comedy (Pg.37)〕 times at the City Dionysia, first probably in the mid-to-late 450s BCE (IG II2 2325. 50), and three times at the Lenaia, first probably in the early 430s (IG II2 2325. 121; just before Pherecrates and Hermippus). He was still competing in 423, when his ''Pytine'' took the prize at the City Dionysia; he died shortly thereafter, at a very advanced age, about 97 years (test. 3).
Little is known of his personal history. His father's name was Callimedes, and he himself was a taxiarch. The ''Suda'' has brought several accusations against Cratinus. First, it accuses Cratinus of excessive cowardice. Secondly, a charge against the moral character. Thirdly, a charge of habitual intemperance. Having examined all these charges, it may be safe to say that all of these charges are unlikely enough to be true, and that there is no evidence that Cratinus really committed such things. Moreover, other writers, including Aristophanes, were silent on these charges, except the third charge, which is sustained by many passages of Aristophanes and other writers. They also refer the "Confession of Cratinus", which Cratinus himself seems to have treated the subject in a very amusing way, especially in his ''Pytine''.
That he was related to the 4th-century comic poet Cratinus Junior is a reasonable hypothesis but cannot be proven.
