Philocles
According to the Suda, Philocles wrote 100 tragedies. Philocles is best known for winning first prize in the competition against Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex". Philocles also wrote a play on the subject of Tereus, which was parodied in Aristophanes' "The Birds" along with Sophocles' treatment of the same subject. A scholiast has noted that Philocles' "Tereus" was part of his "Pandionis" tetralogy. An extant fragment shows that Philocles wrote a play covering the story of Hermione, Neoptolemus and Orestes, a story also addressed by Euripides in his play "Andromache" and by Sophocles in his "Hermione". In Pholocles' version of the Hermione myth, Hermione is betrothed to Neoptolemus by her father Menelaus while she is pregnant with Orestes' child. Philocles also wrote plays entitled "Oedipus" and "Philoctetes". The Suda also names the following as plays of Philocles: "Erigone", "Nauplius", "Oineus", "Priam", and "Penelope".
