Heraclides of Sinope
Heracleides of Sinope was a writer of ancient Greece. It is not improbable that two other epigrams are likewise his productions, though his native place is not mentioned there. He seems to have been a poet of some celebrity, as Diogenes Laërtius mentions him as ἐπιγραμμάτων ποιητὴς λιγυρός.
