Lycophron
Lycophron was a Greek poet and grammarian (although the Oxford Classical Dictionary regards these as two different men). He was born at Chalcis in Euboea, and flourished at Alexandria in the time of Ptolemy Philadelphus (285-247 BC). According to Suda, the massive tenth century Byzantine Greek historical encyclopædia, he was the son of Socles, but was adopted by Lycus of Rhegium. He was entrusted by Ptolemy with the task of arranging the comedies in the Library of Alexandria; as the result of his labours he composed a treatise On Comedy.
