Heracleides
8. Of Sinope: under this name we possess a Greek epigram in the Greek Anthology (
7.329).
It is not improbable that two other epigrams (7.281, 465) are likewise his productions, though his native place is not mentioned there.
He seems to have been a poet of some celebrity, as Diogenes Laertius (5.94) mentions him as
ἐπιγραμμάτων ποιητὴς λιγυρός. Diogenes Laertius (
l.c.) mentions fourteen persons of this name.
