Antidotus (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίδοτος) was an Athenian comic poet, of whom we know nothing, except that he was of the Middle Comedy period, which is evident from the fact that a certain play, the Homoia (Ὁμοία), is ascribed both to him and to the poet Alexis.[1] We have the titles of two other plays of his, and it is thought that his name ought to be restored in Athenaeus[2] and Julius Pollux.[3][4]
