Nicomachus the Comic Poet
Νικόμαχος ὁ κωμικός

Nicomachus the Comic Poet on the Cook's Art

2 works

Nicomachus, third century BCE, is the name this site attaches to a Greek writer of κωμῳδία, placed at Athens. No life is recorded. The Suda, a tenth-century Greek book, names two comedies, the Centaur and Pandora.

What this site holds is not those plays as books. The page carries later headings: The Cook's Art and The Comic Chef's Art, verse quoted mainly in Athenaeus’s Deipnosophistae. The older title-list and these culinary headings do not match.

A later cut of Attic κωμῳδία is how later readers arrange the name. It is not a heading in the fragments.
