Chaeremon (/kəˈriːmən, -mɒn/; Ancient Greek: Χαιρήμων, gen.: Χαιρήμονος) was an Athenian dramatist of the first half of the fourth century BC.
[2][3] His other known plays are Alphesiboea, Dionysus, Io, Minyae, Odysseus, Oeneus, and Thyestes.
[4] The fragments of Chaeremon are distinguished by correctness of form and facility of rhythm, but marred by a florid and affected style reminiscent of Agathon.
He especially excelled in descriptions (irrelevantly introduced) dealing with such subjects as flowers and female beauty.
[2] His maxim, "Luck, not wisdom, rules the affairs of men," was adopted by Plutarch as the epigraph to his essay on chance.
