Nicophon (, also Nicophron, 〔The former is undoubtedly the correct orthography; the ''Suda'' is the only authority for the latter. He mentions the name four times, also Nicophron,in the two first of which he calls him Νικοφρῶν，but every where else, both by him and others, Νικοφῶν is the name given.〕)， the son of a certain Theron, was an Athenian comic poet, a contemporary of Aristophanes in his later years. Athenaeus〔Ath. iii. 126, e.〕 states that he belonged to Old Comedy, but it is more likely that he belonged to Middle Comedy. We learn from the argument of the ''Plutus'' of Aristophanes that he exhibited one of his plays, called Ἄδωνις ''Adonis'', in 388 BC, the date Aristophanes exhibited his ''Plutus''. ==Plays== *Ἄδωνις, ''Adonis'' *Ἀφροδίτης γοναί, ''Origins of Aphrodite''〔The ''Suda'', s. v. Νικοφρῶν.〕〔Pollux, x. 156.〕〔Schol. ''ad Aristoph. Aves'', 82, 1283〕 *Ἐξ Ἅδου ἀνιὼν, ''Coming Up from Hades''〔The ''Suda'', s. v. Νικοφρῶν.〕 *Πανδώρα, ''Pandora'' *Ἐγχειρογαστορες, ''Living by their Hands''〔Encheirogastores,Cherogastores-(Cheir ), hand + (Gaster ), belly〕 *Σειρῆνες, ''Sirens'' 27 lines of his plays have survived. ==References== *Meineke, Frag.
