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.
