Antigonus of Karystos (poet)
Antigonos of Karystos ( Latinized Antigonus Carystius ; ancient Greek Ἀντίγονος ὁ Καρύστιος ) was a Greek-speaking poet probably from the 1st century BC. BC, of which two epigrams have survived ( Anthologia Palatina 4, 2, 12 and 9, 406).
According to a hypothesis by Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff , the poet is also the author of a lost mythographic work Transformations , mentioned by Antoninus Liberalis in his Metamorphoses (No. 23) , which dealt with transformation myths. It should have been a seal.
The poet Antigonos of Karystos is not to be confused with the author of the same name of philosopher biographies, who was born in the 3rd century BC. Lived, see Antigonos of Karystos (writer) .
