Chrysogonus

Chrysogonus (gr. Chrysogonos), A celebrated player on the flute, who dressed in a sacred robe (puthike stole) played to keep the rowers in time, when Alcibiades made his triumphal entry into the Peiraeus on his return from banishment in 407 BC. From a conversation between the father of Chrysogonus and Stratonicus, reported by Athenaeus, it seems that Chrysogonus had a brother who was a dramatic poet. Chrysogonus himself was the author of a poem or drama entitled Politeia, which some attributed to Epicharmus. (Athen. xii. p. 353, d., viii. p. 350, e., xiv. p. 648, d.)
