Philocles (Φιλοκλῆς) was

A Greek tragedian, son of Aeschylus's sister. He wrote a hundred plays in the manner of Aeschylus, and won the prize against Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus. Only scanty fragments of his plays remain. The drama was also cultivated by his sons Morsimus and Melanthius, by Morsimus's son Astydamas (about 399 BC ), and again by the sons of the later, Astydamas and Philocles.
