Heniochus

Heniochus (gr. Heniochos), an Athenian comic poet of the middle comedy, whose plays, as mentioned by Suidas, were: Trochilos, Epikleros, Gorgones, Polupragmon, Thorykion, Polyeuktos, Philetairos, Dis exapatomenos, a few fragments of which are preserved by Athenaeus (vi. p. 271, a. ix. p. 296, d. p. 408, a. xi. p 483, e.) and Stobaeus (Serm. xliii. 27). Suidas (s. v. polueuktos) has made a curious blunder, calling Heniochus a play by the comic poet Polyeuctus. The Polyeuctus, who gave the title to the play of Heniochus, was an orator in the time of Demosthenes. (Meineke. Fray. Com. Graec. vol. i. p. 421, vol. iii. p. 560; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. ii. p. 448.)
