Ambryon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ambryon (Ancient Greek: Ἀμβρύων) was an ancient Greek writer who wrote a work on the poet Theocritus, from which Diogenes Laërtius quotes an epigram of Theocritus against Aristotle.[1][2] His date can only be fixed between the 3rd century BC and the 3rd century AD, and his work itself, On Theocritus, is no longer extant.[3]
