Anti'machus
2. Of TEOS, an epic poet. Plutarch (
Romul. 12) states, that he was said to have known something about the eclipse which occurred on the day of the foundation of Rome. Clemens Alexandrinus (
Strom. vi. p. 622c.) quotes an hexameter verse from him, which Agias is said to have imitated. If this statement is correct, Antimachus would belong to an early period of Greek literature.
