BIOGRAPHY

    He was born in Athens in 452 BC. He had been writing since he was an adolescent but he was not allowed to participate in the contests because of his age. Therefore he participated with the alias "Detalis" and he won the first prize with "The Acharnians". His comedies were characterised by a great sense of humour.

    He died in Aegina in 385 BC.
