ALCAEUS (Ἀλκαῖος), the son of Miccus, was a native of Mytilene, according to Suidas, who may, however, have confounded him in this point with the lyric poet. He is found exhibiting at Athens as a poet of the old comedy, or rather of that mixed comedy, which formed the transition between the old and the middle. In B. C. 388, he brought forward a play entitled Πασιφάη, in the same contest in which Aristophanes exhibited his second Plutus, but, if the meaning of Suidas is rightly understood, he obtained only the fifth place. He left ten plays, of which some fragments remain, and the following titles are known, Ἀδελφαί μοιχευομέναι, Γανυμήδης, Ἐνδυμίων, Ἱερὸς γάμος, Καλλιστῶ, Κωμῳδοτραγῳδία, Παλαῖστρα.
Alcaeus, a tragic poet, mentioned by Fabricius (Biblioth. Graec, ii. p. 282), does not appear to be a different person from Alcaeus the comedian. The mistake of calling him a tragic poet arose simply from an erroneous reading of the title of his "Comoedo-tragoedia."

PHILIPS, WILLIAM (d. 1734), dramatist, was son of George Philips of Londonderry [q. v.], and at an early age applied himself to writing for the stage. A tragedy, entitled ‘The Revengeful Queen’ (London, 1698, 8vo), acted at Drury Lane in 1698, is the first ascribed to him. The subject was taken from Machiavelli's ‘History of Florence,’ and the scene was laid in Verona. The piece has resemblances to D'Avenant's ‘Albovine, King of the Lombards,’ of which Philips, in the printed edition, says he was ignorant until he had completed his own work (Genest, Hist. Account, ii. 142). Philips's next play was ‘St. Stephen's Green, or the Generous Lovers,’ a comedy in five acts; it was performed at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, and printed in that city in 1700. In the last act a musical dialogue in verse was introduced; the scene throughout was in Dublin. The author, in a dedication to William O'Brien, earl of Inchiquin, mentioned that the play had been favourably received by the public. Copies of this work are rare. A tragedy, by Philips, entitled ‘Hibernia Freed,’ was produced with success, on 13 Feb. 1722, at the Theatre Royal, Lincoln's Inn Fields, and published in 8vo, London, 1722.
