Heracleides of Alexandria

Summary

Heracleides (Ancient Greek: Ἡρακλείδης) of Alexandria was a Greek grammarian,[1] who is perhaps the same as the one whom Ammonius mentions as a contemporary of his.[2]

The same name is often mentioned by Eustathius, and in the Venetian scholia on the Iliad, in connection with grammatical works on Homer, and Ammonius attributes to one Heracleides a work entitled Περὶ καθολικῆς προσώδίας.[3]
