1867, p. 65-66: "Agathon, 2, an Athenian tragic poet, was born about B.C. 477....He was
consquently contemporary with Socrates and Alcibiades and the other distingiushed characters
of their age...Amongst these was his friend Euripides....."
Brill's New Pauly: "Agathon, 1, Attic tragedian, c. 455-c. 401 BC, son
of Tisamenus (Schol. Lucian. Rhetorum Praeceptor 11). According to Ath. 5,217b he achieved his
first Lenaean victory in 416. The post-victory celebration of this win forms the historical
background to Plato's Symposium. In 411 he is made fun of in the Thesmophoriazusae of
Aristophanes, and in the same year he is defended in court by Antiphon....The titles of six of
his works are known to us: Aerope, Alcmeon, Anthus (or Antheus), Thyestes, Mysi, Telephus
overall about 50 verses are extant.... " from Zimmermann, Bernhard (Freiburg)
