Alcaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκαῖος), the son of Miccus, was an Athenian comic poet. His comedies marked the transition between Old Comedy and Middle Comedy. In 388 BC, his play Pasiphae was awarded the fifth (i.e. last) place prize in the same contest that Aristophanes exhibited his play Plutus. Fabricius mentions another Alcaeus, a tragedian. This appears to be the same person as Alcaeus the comic poet. Source: Wikipedia (en)
