Philonides the Comic Poet on Vice and Virtue

Philonides is the name this site attaches to a Greek writer of κωμῳδία. The local files do not speak with one mouth. The author-notice makes him a fourth-century man of Laodicea, an actor who put on Aristophanes’s Frogs and Kokalos, and keeps two titles, Antyllos and Bacchae, in Athenaeus. The work-notices make him a fifth-century Athenian beside Aristophanes.

What this site holds is later headings: Comic Fragments on Vice and Virtue and Fragments on Morals, short verses in Stobaeus’s anthology. Those headings are not the two titles in the author-notice.

The plays as books are not here. The lines travel in a later Greek host.
