Apollodorus (physician)
Apollodorus is the name of two physicians mentioned by Pliny the Elder, one of whom was a native of Citium, in Cyprus, the other of Tarentum. Perhaps it was one of these who wrote to Ptolemy, king of Egypt, giving him directions as to what wines he should drink, though to which king of this name his precepts were addressed is not mentioned. A person of the same name wrote a work Ointments and Chaplets quoted by Athenaeus, and another, quoted by the same author, On Venomous Animals, which is possibly the work that is several times referred to by Pliny.
