Damo'xenus
（
*Damo/cenos) was an Athenian comic poet of the new comedy, and perhaps partly of the middle.
Works
Comic plays
Two of his plays, entitled
Εύντροφοι and
Ἑαυτὸν πενθῶν, are mentioned by Athenaeus, who quotes a long passage from the former, and a few lines from the latter. Elsewhere he calls him, less correctly, Demoxenus.
Editions
The longer fragment was first published, with a Latin version, by Hugo Grotius, in his Excerpta ex Tragoedüs et Comoedüs Graecis, Par. 1626, 4to.
