Amphis


Amphis was an Athenian Comic poet of uncertain origin from approximately the 4th century BC.
Pollux seems to refer to Amphis as a Middle Comic poet, and Amphis' own repeated references to the philosopher Plato place him in the early to mid-4th century BC. His name is not Athenian, and he was probably from the island of Andros.

Surviving titles and fragments

49 fragments of his comedies survive, along with the following 28 titles.
The standard edition of the fragments and testimonia is in Rudolf Kassel and Colin François Lloyd Austin's Poetae Comici Graeci Vol. II. The eight-volume Poetae Comici Graeci produced from 1983 to 2001 replaces the outdated collections Fragmenta Comicorum Graecorum by August Meineke, Comicorum Atticorum Fragmenta by Theodor Kock and Comicorum Graecorum Fragmenta by Georg Kaibel.
