Cleophon (Greek: Kλεoφῶν, Kleophōn) was an Athenian tragic poet.[1] The titles of ten of his plays are given by the Suda: Acteon, Amphiaraos, Achilles, The Bacchantes, Dexamenus, Erigone, Thyestes, Leucippus, Persis, and Telephus.[2] None of these plays are extant today.[1] As six of these titles are also listed by the Suda as works by Iophon, this may be a corruption of "Iophon".[3]
He is referred to by Aristotle in Poetics and Rhetoric, who notes his prosaic style and lack of idealism.[4]
