==Tragedies== The poetic compositions of Lycophron chiefly consisted of [[tragedy|tragedies]], which secured him a place in the [[Alexandrian Pleiad|Pleiad of Alexandrian tragedians]]. The ''Suda'' gives the titles of twenty tragedies, of which a very few fragments have been preserved:<ref name=EB1911/> ''Aeolus'', ''Allies'' (''Symmakhoi''), ''Andromeda'', ''Chrysippus'', ''Daughters of Aeolus'', ''Daughters of Pelops'', ''Elephenor'', ''Herakles'', ''Hippolytus'', ''Kassandreis'', ''Laius'', ''Marathonians'', ''Menedemus'', ''Nauplius'', ''Oedipus'' (two versions), ''Orphan'' (''Orphanos''), ''Pentheus'', ''Suppliants'' (''Hiketai''), ''Telegonus'', and the ''Wanderer'' (''Aletes''). Among these, a few well-turned lines show a much better style than the ''Alexandra''.
