EspañolANTIMACHUS OF TEOS
''For other uses of the name see Antimachus
'Antimachus of Teos' was an early Greek epic poet. According to Plutarch (''Life of Romulus'' 12.2) he observed an eclipse of the sun in 753 BC, the same year in which Rome was founded. The epic ''Epigoni'', a sequel to the legend of Thebes, was apparently sometimes ascribed to Antimachus of Teos (see ''Scholia on Aristophanes, Peace'' 1270); however, confusion is possible with the much later literary poet Antimachus of Colophon (c. 400 BC), who wrote an epic ''Thebais'' on what must have been an overlapping subject.
