Polycharmus

Πολύχαρμος

(Πολύχαρμος).

Works

On Lycia (Λυκιακά)

Polycharmus wrote a work upon Lycia (Λυκιακά), which is referred to by Athenaeus (viii. p. 333d.), and Stephanus Byzantinus (s. vv. Ἰλάρις, Σοῦρα, Φελλὸς).

On Aphrodite (Περὶ Ἀφροδίτης)

It is doubtful whether he is the same as the Polycharmus of Naucratis, who wrote a work on Aphrodite (Περὶ Ἀφροδίτης), from which Athenaeus makes an extract (pp. 675, f.--676, c.).
