Nicostratus (comic poet)

Nicostratus (Νικόστρατος) was a Greek playwright of the Middle Comedy. He was said to be the youngest son of Aristophanes. Photius claims that Nicostratus leaped from the Leucadian Rock due to an unrequited love for a woman named Tettigidaea (Ancient Greek: Τεττιγιδαία, meaning "Cicada-like") from Myrrinous, and thus was "cured" of his love.^[1]
