Cleophon (poet)

Cleophon (Greek: Kλεoφῶν, Kleophōn) was an Athenian tragic poet^[1] who flourished in the 4th century BC. The titles of eleven of his plays are given by the Suda: Acteon, Amphiaraos, Achilles, The Bacchantes, Dexamenus, Erigone, Thyestes, Leucippus, Mandroboulos, Persis, and Telephus. None of these plays are extant today; no fragments or quotations have come down to us.

He is referred to by Aristotle in Poetics and Rhetoric.^[2]
