Carcinus I

 * Believed to have been born c. 480 BCE.
 * "probably best known for the dance his sons performed at the end of the Vespae" ("Was Carcinus I A Tragic Playwright?")
 * Likely the same Carcinus who served as general alongside Proteas and Socrates in 431 BCE, during the Peloponnesian War (Thucydides 2.23.2, Diodorus 12.42.7).
 * Member of the priest class and "active in public affairs".
 * Erroneously referred to as Carcinus of Agrigentum; this is likely a result of confusion between him and his grandson. The latter is more likely to have had intercourse with Agrigentum, given his frequent visits to Sicily.
 * May have won first prize at the Dionysia in 447/6 BCE, though this is contested because the only evidence that can be found is a listing with the first two characters of his name.
