Apollophanes of Athens

Apollophanes 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.

Surviving titles and fragments The editors of the Suda ascribe to him five comedies, viz. Dalis (Δάλις), Iphigeron (Ἰφιγέρων), Cretans (Κρῆτες), Danae (Δανάη) and Centaurs (Κένταυροι). Of the former three we still possess a few fragments, but the last two are completely lost.
