Cephisodorus
Cephisodorus or Kephisodorus (Ancient Greek: Κηφισόδωρος) was a male Greek name.
1. Cephisodorus, an Athenian dramatist of the Old Comedy. According to Lysias, he was a comic poet who won a victory in 402 BC.[1] This victory was probably in the Lenaea; around the same time Cephisodorus appears on the surviving victory lists for the City Dionysia.[2] The Suda says that he was a tragedian, and credits him with four plays: Antilais, Amazons, Trophonius, and The Hog.[3] The titles quoted by the Suda are comic, and so the identification of Cephisodorus as a tragedian is likely to be an error.[4]
2. Cephisodorus, a military commander who died at the battle of Mantineia at 362 BC.[5]
