Sannyrion (Ancient Greek: Σαννυρίων) was an Athenian comic poet of the late 5th century BC, and a contemporary of Diocles and Philyllius, according to the Suda. He belonged to the later years of Old Comedy and the start of Middle Comedy.[1]

Works

Sannyrion wrote the following works.

• Τέλως Telōs ("Finally")
• Δανάη Danae
• Ιώ Io
• Σαρδανάπαλλος Sardanapalus (The title could have been mistaken by Suda; reading a passage of Athenaeus strongly suggests that Suda mistook it for the play by Strattis mentioned above, Psychastae (Ψυχασταί).)[2]

In Aristophanes' Gerytades, Sannyrion, Meletus, and Cinesias are chosen as ambassadors from the poets to the shades below because they are so skinny.[3]

Hegelochus

Sannyrion is one of the sources for the story of Hegelochus, an actor who was lampooned for a slight but comic mispronunciation while appearing in Euripides' Orestes in 408 BC that ruined his career.
