Timocles


Timocles was an Athenian comic poet of the Middle Comedy, although Pollux listed him among the writers of New Comedy. The Suda claims that there were two comic poets of this name, but modern scholars equate the two. Unlike most Middle Comedy plays, his works featured a good deal of personal ridicule of public figures, especially orators like Demosthenes and Hyperides.
