Aeschrion of Samos
Aeschrion (
There was an epic poet of the same name, who was called a native of Mytilene and a pupil of Aristotle, and who is said to have accompanied Alexander the Great on some of his expeditions. He is mentioned in the Suda, and also by Tzetzes.[4][5] As he was also a writer of iambics and choliambics, many scholars have supposed him to be identical with the Aeschrion from Samos, and to have been called a Mytilenaean in consequence of having resided for some time in that city.[1]
