Apollodorus of Gela

Apollodorus of Gela (Greek: Ἀπολλόδωρος ὁ Γελῷος) in Sicily was a New Comedy playwright. According to the Suda and Eudokia Makrembolitissa, he was a contemporary of Menander, and accordingly lived between the years 340 and 290 BCE.

The Suda and Eudocia attribute to him seven comedies, of which they give the titles. But while the editors of the Suda ascribes them to Apollodorus of Gela, they assign one of these same comedies in another passage to Apollodorus of Carystus. Other writers too frequently confound the two comic poets.

In addition to these seven 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:
