Eumelus of Corinth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eumelus of Corinth or Eumelos of Korinthos was an early Greek poet, probably the author of Corinthiaca, an epic narrating the legends and early history of his home city Corinth. It is now lost, but a written version of it was used by Pausanias in his survey of the antiquities of Corinth. The epics Europia, Bougonia (perhaps the same as Europia), Titanomachy and Return from Troy (Nostoi) were ascribed to Eumelus by various later authors. Eumelus was traditionally dated between 760 and 740 BC.
