Apollodorus of Carystus (Greek: Ἀπολλόδωρος ὁ Καρύστιος) in Euboea, was one of the most important writers of the Attic New Comedy, who flourished in Athens between 300 and 260 B.C. He is to be distinguished from the older Apollodorus of Gela (342—290), a contemporary of Menander who was also a writer of New Comedy. He wrote 47 comedies and obtained the prize five times. Terence's Hecyra and Phormio were adapted from the Hekyra and Epidikazomenos of Apollodorus.[1]

Surviving titles and fragments

In addition to these twelve plays, there are nine other titles (and associated fragments) which are only credited to "Apollodorus" by the ancient authorities, without specifying whether they were written by Apollodorus of Carystus or Apollodorus of Gela. They are as follows:

[es] Apolodoro de Caristo

Apolodoro de Caristo (siglo III a. C.), poeta cómico nacido en esta ciudad de Eubea, Caristo. Adquirió la ciudadanía de Atenas, siendo uno de los más notables de la comedia ática. Puede dar idea de su importancia el hecho de que, de las seis comedias griegas que copió Terencio, dos fueron de Apolodoro: Hercira y Formión. Sus cuarenta y siete comedias alcanzaron mucho éxito.
