[edit]Epaphroditus, fr. 57 Braswell–Billerbeck (Braswell, pp. 240, 242)
- 57 (b) According to Thrasyboulos (FHG II 464, a) [the city] was named after Dodone, one of the Ocean nymphs, as Epaphroditus says in his Commentary on the second book of the Aitia [of Kallimachos].
Callimachus, Aetia fr. 53 Pfeiffer (Harder, p. 196)
- According to Thrasybulus, as Epaphroditius commenting on book 2 of the Aetia says, it (sc. Dodona) is called after Dodona one of the Oceanid nymphs.
- [compare with fragment II. 7 (24): Dodona: it gets it's name, according to Epaphroditus in his commentary on Aitia ii, from Dodona, one of the Oceanid nymphs.]

- 53 The etymology of Dodona was discussed by Epaphroditus in his commentary on Aetia 3, who said that according to Thrasybulbus it was called after Dodone, a daughter of Oceanus. Stephanus of Byzantium, who quotes the fragment, adds that according to Acestodorus it was called after Dodonus or Dodon (according to Meineke's text), a son of Zeus and Europa, but that it was probably called after the river Dodon. The tradition is obviously somewhat confused; cf. Σ T Il.16,233 (Dodona called after Dodon or Dodone, with the addition that Deucalion married Dodone and called the town after her); Eust.p. 335,44 f. (on Il.2,750) (Dodona called after Dodone, a heroine or Oceanid, or after Dodon) and on D.P.428 (Dodona called after Dodone, the daughter of Zeus and Europa, or after the river Dodon).
