Isidorus

Ἰσίδωρος

(Ἰσίδωρος).

1. Of AEGAE, an epigrammatic poet, five of whose epigrams are contained in the Greek Anthology. (Brunck, Anal. vol. ii. p. 473; Jacobs, Anth. Graec. vol. iii. p. 177.) Nothing further is known of him; but, from the style of his epigrams, Brunck conjectured that he was not a very late writer, and that he might perhaps be considered as a contemporary of Antiphilus, who flourished about the time of Nero. (Brunck, Lection. p. 228; Jacobs, Anth. Graec. vol. xiii. p. 905.)
