Anthippus (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: 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]
