	Epigenes Of Athens Epigenes of Athens ( grc-gre, Ἐπιγένης ὁ Ἀθηναῖος, c. 4th century BC) was an Athenian comic poet of the Middle Comedy Ancient Greek comedy was one of the final three principal dramatic forms in the theatre of classical Greece (the others being tragedy and the satyr play). Athenian comedy is conventionally divided into three periods: Old Comedy, Middle Comedy, an .... Pollux indeed speaks of him as ''neôn tis kômikôn,'' but the terms "middle" and "new," as Clinton remarks, are not always very carefully applied. Epigenes himself, in a fragment of his play called ''The Little Tomb'' (Mnêmation) speaks of Pixodarus, prince of Caria, as "the king's son"; and from this Meineke argues that the comedy in question must have been written while Hecatomnus, the father of Pixodarus, was yet alive, and perhaps about 380 BC. We find besides in Athenaeus, that there was a doubt among the ancients whether the play called ''Disappearance of the Money'' (Argyrion A ...

	Epigenes Of Byzantium Epigenes of Byzantium ( el, Έπιγένης ὁ Βυζάντιος; unknown-circa 200 BC) was a Greek astrologer. He seems to have been an earlier supporter of astrology, which, though derided by many Greek intellectuals, came to be accepted after Alexander the Great conquered major parts of the Near East. The sources for the life of Epigenes are Seneca the Younger (c 65 AD), Pliny the Elder (c. 77 AD), and Censorinus (c. 238 AD).W. Smith, ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology (1867)'', " Epigenes of Byzantium", Vol. II, page 36Perseus/ref> Epigenes' claims to have been educated by the Chaldeans comes from the writings of Seneca. Pliny the Elder writes that Epigenes attests to the fact that the Chaldeans preserved astral observations in inscriptions upon brick tiles (''coctilibus laterculis'') extending to a period of 720 years. Pliny calls Epigenes a writer of first-rate authority (''gravis auctor imprimis''). Smith interprets this to mean that Epigenes c ...

	Epigenes Of Sicyon Epigenes of Sicyon ( grc-gre, Ἐπιγένης ὁ Σικυώνιος) was an Ancient Greek tragic poet. He has been confounded by some with his namesake, the comic poet. He is mentioned by Suidas as the most ancient writer of tragedy. By the word "tragedy" here we can understand only the old dithyrambic and satyrical ''tragôidia'', into which it is possible that Epigenes may have been the first to introduce other subjects than the original one of the fortunes of origin, if at least we may trust the account which we find in Apostolius, Photius, and Suidas, of the origin of the proverb ''ouden pros ton Dtonuson''. This would clearly be one of the earliest steps in the gradual transformation of the old dithyrambic performance into the dramatic tragedy of later times, and may tend to justify the statement which ascribes the invention of tragedy to the Sicyonians. We do not know the period at which Epigenes flourished, and the point was a doubtful one in the time of Suidas, who s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Epigenes, Son Of Antiphon Epigenes (''Epigetês''), son of Antiphon, of the deme of Cephisia, is mentioned by Plato among the disciples of Socrates, who were with him in his last moments. Xenophon Xenophon of Athens (; grc, Ξενοφῶν ; – probably 355 or 354 BC) was a Greek military leader, philosopher, and historian, born in Athens. At the age of 30, Xenophon was elected commander of one of the biggest Greek mercenary armies of ... represents Socrates as remonstrating with him on his neglect of the bodily exercises requisite for health and strength.Plat.

	Epigenes (crater) Epigenes is a lunar impact crater that is located in the north part of the Moon, and is sufficiently close to the northern limb to appear significantly foreshortened from the Earth. It lies just to the northwest of the remains of the walled plain W. Bond. Due north of Epigenes is Goldschmidt, and the ruined crater Birmingham lies just to the southwest. This formation is a picture in contrasts. The north and northwest parts of the rim are well-formed with little appearance of wear, while the remainder of the rim is notably eroded, particularly in the east-southeastern half. The western half of the interior floor is smooth and nearly featureless, while the remainder is somewhat hummocky and appears covered in ejecta Ejecta (from the Latin: "things thrown out", singular ejectum) are particles ejected from an area. In volcanology, in particular, the term refers to particles including pyroclastic materials ( tephra) that came out of a volcanic explosion and magm ... from the east. ...
