Phaedimus
(Φαίδιμος), the name of two mythical personages, the one a son of Amphion and Niobe (Apollod. 3.5.6), and the other a king of the Sidonians, who hospitably received Menelaus on his return from Troy. (Hom. Od. 15.117.) [L.S]
(Φαίδιμος), was one of the Thirty Tyrants, according to the common reading of a passage in Demosthenes (de Fals. Leg. p. 402.) The name, as given by Xenophon (Xenoph. Hell. 2.3.2), is Phaedrias. [E.E]
(Φαίδιμος), an epigrammatic poet, four of whose epigrams are contained in the Greek Anthology (Brunck, Anal. vol. i. p. 261 ; Jacobs, Anth. Gracec. vol. i. p. 192.) He lived earlier than Meleager, in whose Garland his verses had a place (5.52). We learn from Stephanus that he was a native of Bisanthe in Macedonia, or, according to others, of Amastris or Cromna, in Paphlagonia. (Steph. Byz. s. v. Βισάνθη One of his epigrams is inscribed Βησαντίνουin the Palatine and Planudean Anthologies. He also perhaps wrote an epic poem entitled Heracleia, for Athenaeus (xi. p. 498e.) quotes an hexameter line from Phaedimus, ἐν πρώτω Ἡρακλείας. (Schweigh. ad loc.) [P.S]
