300 BC - 250 BC
Herodas
Herodas, or Herondas (Ancient Greek: Ἡρώδας or Ἡρώνδας – the name is spelt differently in the few places where he is mentioned), was a Greek poet and the author of short humorous dramatic scenes in verse, probably written in Alexandria during the 3rd century BC. Apart from the intrinsic merit of these pieces, they are interesting in the history of Greek literature as being a new species, illustrating Alexandrian methods. They are called Mimiamboi (Ancient Greek: μιμίαμβοι, "Mime-iambics"), or mimes. Read more on Wikipedia
