Von Kratinos dem Älteren, einem Verfasser von Komödien aud dem 5. Jhdt., hat es ein Stück mit dem Titel "Dionysalexandros" gegeben. Davon ist nicht das Stück, aber eine Zusammenfassung des Inhalts (Hypothesis) erhalten - mit einer überraschenden Version dieses Urteils des Paris:

... seek ... all (?) ... judgement Hermes leaves, while they say some things to the spectators about the poets. They joke and make fun of Dionysus when he appears. When <the goddesses and Hermes arrive> and <make promises> to him: from Hera unshaken tyranny, from Athena success (1) in war, and Aphrodite that he be as beautiful and sexually attractive as possible, he judges her [Aphrodite] to be the winner. After this he sails off to Sparta, takes Helen away, and returns to Ida. But he hears a little while later that the Greeks are ravaging the countryside <and looking for> Alexander. He hides Helen very quickly in a basket, and changing himself into a ram awaits developments. Alexander appears and detects each of them, and orders them to be taken to the ships, meaning to give them back to the Greeks. When Helen refuses, he takes pity on her and holds on to her, to keep her as a wife. Dionysus he sends off to be handed over. The satyrs go along with him, encouraging him and insisting that they will not betray him. [...]

(1) oder: courage

Es muß komisch gewesen sein, wie Dionysos den armen Paris Alexander hereinlegt. Wie es funktioniert hat (Was konnten einem Gott diese Versprechungen bedeuten? Warum suchen die Griechen nach Paris, wie kommen sie auf ihn?), ist mir allerdings nicht klar.
