Auto'medon

（Αὐτομέδων), of Cyzicus, a Greek epigrammatic poet.

He must have lived in the first century of the Christian era, as one of his poems is addressed to Nicetes, a distinguished orator in the reign of Nerva. One of the epigrams usually attributed to Theocritus (Anth. Graec. 7.534; No. 9, in Kiessling's edition of Theocritus, p. 778) has in the manuscript the inscription Αὐτομέδοντος Αἰτωλοῦ : if this is correct there must have been an Aetolian poet of the name of Automedon.

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.
