Apollophanes of Athens

Apollophanes (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλοφάνης) of Athens was a poet of the old Attic comedy. He appears to have been a contemporary of Strattis, and to have consequently lived about Olympiad 95.[1]

Surviving Titles and Fragments

The editors of the Suda ascribe to him five comedies, viz. Δάλις, Ἰφιγέρων, Κρῆτες, Δανάη and Κένταυροι. Of the former three we still possess a few fragments, but the last two are completely lost.[2][3][4][5][6]
