Aristonicus of Tarentum

Aristonicus of Tarentum

Aristonicus (Latin; Greek polytonic|Ἀριστόνικος "Aristonikos") of Tarentum was the author of a work on Greek mythology which ancient sources often refer to. [Photius cod. 190; Servius "ad Aeneidam" 3.335; Caes. Germ. "in Arati Phaenomena" 327; Hyginus "Astronomica" 2.34.] He is perhaps the same as the one mentioned by Athenaeus 1.20, but nothing is known about him.

(Roulez, "ad Ptolem. Hephaest". p. 148.)
