Article Summary
One of the earliest Greek dramatists, Epicharmus wrote mostly comedies with mythological content in Sicily around 500 bc. A number of philosophical passages were attributed to him in antiquity; their authenticity, sometimes doubted even then, has remained controversial, but the quotations were widely influential and remain of interest.
