Theodoridas of Syracuse ( Greek: Θεοδωρίδας ὁ Συρακούσιος) was a lyric and epigrammatic poet from Syracuse, Magna Graecia, who is supposed to have lived at the same time as Euphorion, about 235 BC; [1] for, on the one hand, Euphorion is mentioned in one of the epigrams of Theodoridas, [2] and, on the other hand, Clement of Alexandria quotes a verse of Euphorion ἐν ταῖς πρὸς Θεωρίδαν ἀντιγραφαῖς, where Schneider suggests the emendation Θεοδωρίδαν. [3]
He had a place in the Garland of Meleager. In addition to the eighteen epigrams ascribed to him in the Greek Anthology, about the genuineness of some of which there are doubts, [4] [5] he wrote a lyric poem Εἰς Ἔρωτα, upon which a commentary was written by Dionysius, named ὁ Λεπτός, [6] a dithyramb titled " The Centaurs" (Κένταυροι), [7] [8] licentious verses of the kind called φλύακες, [9] and some other poems, of which we have a few fragments, but not the titles. The name is more than once confused with Theodorus (Θεόδωρος) and Theodoritos (Θεοδώριτος). [10] [11] [12] [13]
