Alexamenus of Teos
Alexamenus of Teos (Greek: Τήιος Ἀλεξαμενός) was, according to Aristotle in his dialogue, On Poets, the first person who wrote Socratic dialogues before the time of Plato.[1][2] An Aristotelian papyrus from Oxyrhynchus[3] claims that this is merely malicious gossip by Aristotle.[4]
