Other people2 Epigenes disambiguation Epigenes Orphan date February 2009 Epigenes of Sicyon was an Ancient Greece Ancient Greek tragedy tragic poet . He has been confounded by some with Epigenes of Athens his namesake the comic poet. He is mentioned by Suidas ref s. v. Thespis cited by Elder ref as the most ancient writer of tragedy. By the word tragedy here we can understand only the old dithyrambic and Satyr play satyrical trag idia , 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 , Photios I of Constantinople 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 says ref s. v. Thespis cited by Elder ref that, according to some, he was the 16th before Thespis , while, according to others, he almost immediately preceded him. ref See M ller, Dor. iv. 7. 8 Meineke, Hist. Crit.
