Tryphiodorus
Tryphiodorus ((ギリシア語:Τρυφιόδωρος) ''Tryphiodoros'') is an incorrect spelling for Triphiodorus ((ギリシア語:Τριφιόδωρος) ''Triphiodoros''). The name means ‘gift of Triphis’ (one of the local deities of his home town Panopolis, today Akhmim, in Egypt). The confusion between the two spellings occurred already in the sixth century AD due to iotacism. He is thought to have lived in the third century AD and his only surviving work is ''The Sack of Troy'', an epic poem in 691 verses. Other recorded titles include ''Marathoniaca'' and ''The Story of Hippodamea''.
== Life ==
There is little known about the life of Triphiodorus other than two entries in the Byzantine encyclopedia the ''Suda'' (T 1111 and 1112), thought to refer to the same individual. The ''Suda'' provides his place of birth, that he was a grammarian and epic poet, but not when he lived. Traditionally he was dated to the fifth century because he was thought imitate the ''Dionysiaca'' of Nonnus of Panopolis (then dated to the fourth or fifth century) and he was in his turn imitated by Coluthus (he lived under emperor Anastasius I). However, the publication in the 1970s of a fragment of papyrus from Oxyrhynchus (''P. Oxy.'' 41.2946), containing lines 301-402 of the Sack of Troy and dated to the third or early fourth century,〔cgi-bin library, (163.1.169.40 )〕 has made most scholars place him in the third century (see the editions of Livrea, Gerlaud and Dubielzig).
Triphiodorus' pagan name cannot be considered a proof that he was a pagan and nothing in his poem allows us to call him a Christian: the reference in lines 604-5 to children paying with their lives for the sins of their parents is not decisive, having classical parallels such as Homer ''Iliad'' 3.298-301.
