Philippides (Ancient Greek: Φιλιππίδης) was an Athenian poet of the Greek New Comedy. He was the son of Philocles, and flourished during the 111th Olympiad (c. 336-333 BCE). Aulus Gellius records that he died at an advanced old age from the joy of an unexpected victory at a dramatic competition.
Surviving Titles and Fragments
The Suda reports that Philippides produced 45 plays. Only the titles of 16 plays (along with associated fragments) have survived.
