Anthippus

Anthippus (Ancient Greek: Ἄνθιππος) was a Greek comic poet, a play of whose is cited by Athenaeus.^[1] His existence is uncertain however, and we ought perhaps to read "Anaxippus" (Ἀναξίππῳ) here.

The rhetorician Julius Pollux ascribes the creation of the Lydian mode to an Anthippus,^[2] though this attribution is considered more mythological than historical.^[3]
