Apollodorus of Cyrene

Apollodorus of Cyrene () was a grammarian of ancient Greece, who was often cited by other Greek grammarians, as by the Scholiast on Euripides,Euripides, Oresteia 1485 in the Etymologicum Magnum,Etymologicum Magnum, s. v. βωμολόχοι and in the Suda.Suda, s. vv. ά̀ντικρυς, βωμολόχος, Νάνιον, and βδελύσσω From AthenaeusAthenaeus, Deipnosophistae xi. p. 487 it would seem that he wrote a work on drinking vessels (ποτήρια), and if we may believe the authority of the 16th-century Italian mythographer Natalis Comes,Natalis Comes, 3.16-18, 9.5 he also wrote a work on the gods, but this may possibly be a confusion of this Apollodorus with the celebrated grammarian and mythographer Apollodorus of Athens.Christian Gottlob Heyne, On Apollodorus pp. 1174, &c., 1167
