===Other plays===
In Grenfell and Hunt's ''Oxyrhynchus Papyri'', iv. (1904), containing a further instalment of their edition of the ''Behnesa papyri'' discovered by them in 1896–1897, one of the greatest curiosities is a scrap of paper bearing the argument of a play by Cratinus, the ''Dionysalexandros'' (i.e. [[Dionysus]] in the part of [[Paris (mythology)|Paris]]), aimed against [[Pericles]]; and the [[epitome]] reveals something of its wit and point.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=382}} Other plays of Cratinus include
