Laon

(Λάων), an Athenian comic poet, who is mentioned by Stobaeus (Flor. 123.5), and of whose works a single line is preserved by Dicaearchus. (Vit. Graec. p. 28, ed. Buttmann.) It is doubtful whether he belongs to the old or to the middle comedy. (Meineke, Hist. Crit. Com. Graec. pp. 492, 493; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. ii. p. 452.) [P.S]
