Asclepiades of Samos

Asclepiades of Samos (Sicelidas[1][2]) (Greek: Ἀσκληπιάδης ὁ Σάμιος; born c. 320 BC)[1][3] was an ancient Greek epigrammatist and lyric poet who flourished around 270 BC.

[6] Other poems praise those poets whom he especially admired, but the majority of his work that has survived is love songs.

It is doubtful whether he is the author of all the epigrams (some 40 in number) which bear his name in the Greek Anthology.

[8] The sole source for the known, unlacunaed epigrams of Asclepiades is the Greek Anthology.
