1867, p. 695: "Chionides, an Athenian comic poet of the old comedy, whom Suidas places at the
head of the poets of the Old Comedy...."
Brill's New Pauly: "Earliest Attic comedy-writer known by name. As
πρωταγωνιστής, prōtagōnistḗs (the sense of the term as used here is disputed [2. 132]) of the
Old Comedy, C. is said to have had a play performed as early as ‘eight years before the
Persian wars’ (i.e. 486 BC counting inclusively) [1. test. 1]
this date is usually regarded
as the beginning of the state-organized comedic agones at the Great Dionysia....." Nesselrath,
