Telecleides

Telecleides (Ancient Greek: Τηλεκλείδης) was an Athenian Old Comic poet. A contemporary of Cratinus, he was active c. 450 BC – c. 420 BC, and is known to have won at the Dionysia three times and the Lenaia five times.[1] Only eight titles and a few fragments of his plays survive.[1] One of his plays was The Amphictyons, in which Telecleides presented a Golden Age of impossibly effortless plenty. His other known plays include Apseudeis, Hesiodoi, Prytanes, and Sterrhoi.[2]

The standard edition of the fragments is Rudolf Kassel and Colin Austin (eds.), Poetae Comici Graeci.
