Colluthus of Lycopolis

Colluthus was a Greek epic poet from Lycopolis in Egypt, active around the late 5th and early 6th century CE under the eastern emperor Anastasius. He is known for the short mythological epic 'The Abduction of Helen,' which survives and recounts events leading up to the Trojan War in the elaborate style of late antique Greek verse. Other poems attributed to him are lost.
