Chionides

Chionides (Greek: Χιονίδης or Χιωνίδης) an Athenian comic poet of the 5th century BC, contemporary of Magnes.

The Suda says that Chionides flourished eight years before the Greco-Persian Wars, that is, 487 BC.

But Augustus Meineke thinks that Chionides flourished no earlier than 460 BC.

But Athenaeus also noted that some critics at the time regarded Chionides' Πτωχοί as spurious.

Similarly, some scholars (e.g. Heinrich Ritter) strongly argue against the genuineness of Aristotle's observations.
