Babylonians is a lost play of ARISTOPHANES (Ar. frr. 67-100), produced by CALLISTRATUS (1) at the City DIONYSIA of 426 BCE. Its content, held to be insulting to the Athenian polis, is said to have provoked CLEON to attempt a PROSECUTION of Aristophanes (schol. Ar. ACHARNIANS 378; Life of Ar. 19-29 K-A). DIONYSUS was a character (Ar. fr. 75).
