Asty'damas

（*)Astuda/mas).

1. A tragic poet, the son of Morsimus and a sister of the poet Aeschylus, was the pupil of Isocrates, and according to Suidas (s. v. Ἀστυδ.) wrote 240 tragedies and gained the prize fifteen times. His first tragedy was brought upon the stage in Ol. 95. 2. (Diod. xiv. p. 676.) He was the author of an epigram in the Greek Anthology (Anal. 3.329), which gave rise to the proverb Σαυτὴν ἐπαινεῖς ὥσπερ Ἀστυδάμας ποτέ. (Suidas, s. v. Σαυτὴν κ. τ. λ.; D. L. 2.43.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
