Aristias

Ancient Greek playwright · Writers

Aristias , son of Pratinas, was a dramatic poet of ancient Greece whose tomb Pausanias saw at Phlius, and whose satyric dramas, with those of his father, were considered to be surpassed only by those of Aeschylus. Aristias is mentioned in the life of Sophocles as one of the poets with whom the latter contended.

Aristias is read about 3 times a day, in 8 languages.
