Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 1 ,
1867, p. 888: "Cratinus the Younger, an Athenian comic poet of the middle comedy, was a contemporary
of Plato the philosopher (Diog. Laert. iii. 28,) and of Corydus (Athen. vi. p. 241), and therefore
flourished during the middle of the 4th century B.C....."
Brill's New Pauly: Attic comedy writer of the 4th cent. BC (fr. eight
and 10 point to the second half of the cent.). Of eight surviving titles, four suggest
mythological subjects (Ὀμφάλη/‘Omphale’
Χείρων/ ‘Cheiron’
Γίγαντες/‘The Giants’ and
Τιτᾶνες/‘The Titans’ may refer to the same play), the others hint at typical topics of the New
Comedy: Θηρωμένη (‘The Hunted’)
Ταραντῖνοι (‘The Citizens of Tarentum’)
Ψευδυποβολιμαῖος
(‘The Wrongly Accused One’)
Πυθαγορίζουσα (‘The Disciple of Pythagoras’) points to a mockery
of philosophers (cf. the mockery of Plato in fr. 10).
