Athenodorus was a tragic actor, victor at the Dionysia in 342 and 329
BC. He performed also at the games after the victorious siege of Tyre
in honour of Heracles in 331 BC, with the Cypriot Pasicrates of Soli
being his choregos, and was victorious over Thessalus, whom the
Cypriot Nicocreon of Salamis supported and Alexander himself favored.
Soon afterwards he returned to Athens, as his Dionysiac victory of 329
shows. At some point, however, Athenodorus was fined by the Athenians
for failing to appear at the festival, and he asked Alexander to
intercede in writing on his behalf; Alexander instead paid his fine.
In 324 Athenodorus reappears at the Susa wedding festival, along with
Aristocritus and Thessalus.
