Posidippus (comic poet)

He produced his first play in the third year after Menander had died (289 BC).

[2] Cooks held an important position in his list of characters.

According to Aulus Gellius, Latin comic poets had imitated Posidippus.

His success is shown in a beautiful portrait and sitting statue in the Vatican, which is considered a masterpiece of classical art.

Suidas states that Posidippus wrote forty plays, of which the following eighteen titles (along with associated fragments) are preserved.
