Philostephanus (poet)
Philostephanus (Ancient Greek: Φιλοστέφανος) was a Greek poet of the old or middle comedy. Little information about him survives.[1]
Athenaeus preserved a four-line excerpt from the comedy "Delian," in which Philostratus appears to mock the habits of the inhabitants of Delos.[2] The preserved excerpt also mentions the names of two leading cooks of antiquity, Daedalus and Thibron the Athenian.[3]
