Antimachus of Heliopolis (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίμαχος ὁ Ἡλιοπολίτης) in Egypt was a poet of ancient Greece who was mentioned in the Suda as having written a poem called Cosmopoia (Κοσμοποιΐα), that is, on the creation of the universe, consisting of 3780 hexameter verses.
The Byzantine poet John Tzetzes quotes three lines from Antimachus,[2] but whether they belong to Antimachus of Heliopolis, or to either of the two other poets of the same name (see Antimachus (disambiguation)), cannot be ascertained.
