# Nicochares

> Nicochares was an Athenian poet of the Old Comedy, son of the comic playwright Philonides and contemporary with Aristophanes. The titles of Nicochares' plays, as enumerated by the Suda, are, Αμυμώνη (Amymone), Πέλοψ (Pelops), Γαλάτεια (Galatea), Ηρακλής Γάμων, Ηρακλής Χορηγός, Κρήτες (Cretans), Λάκωνες, Λημνίαι, Κένταυροι (Centaurs), and Χειρογάστορες. Augustus Meineke suggested that the Amymone and Pelops may have been alternative names for the same work, as the Suda lists the two works together when all of the others are in alphabetical order, and a fragment of Amymone quoted by Athenaeus mentions Oenomaus, the father-in-law of Pelops.
