Antipater (writer)

Antipater (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίπατρος) was in ancient Greece a writer on the interpretation of dreams (Oneirocritica), mentioned by fellow writer on dreams Artemidorus in his Oneirocritica.[1][2] His works are now lost, and the only reference to his work is in Artemidorus, who mentions Antipater's thoughts on a dream where the dreamer had sexual intercourse with a piece of iron.[3]
