Eugammon of Cyrene

{{Short description|Ancient Greek poet}}

Eugammon of Cyrene ({{langx|el|Εὐγάμων ὁ Κυρηναῖος}}) was an early Greek poet to whom the epic Telegony was ascribed. According to Clement of Alexandria, he stole the poem from the legendary early poet Musaeus; meaning, possibly, that a version of a long-existing traditional epic was written down by Eugammon. He is said to have flourished 567/6 BC.Eusebius, Chronicle, "Olympiad", 53.2.Clement of Alexandria. Stromata, 6.25.2.
