Morsimus
Morsimus or Morsimos (Ancient Greek: Μόρσιμος) was a tragic poet of the 5th century BCE, around 450 to 400 BCE, and the member of a large dynasty of tragic poets. None of his plays survive.
He was the son of Philocles, brother of Melanthius, grandnephew of Aeschylus, the father of Astydamas the Elder, grandfather of both Astydamas the Younger and Philocles the Younger. All of these were tragic poets of some renown.
