Adaeus

Adaeus, or Addaeus, a Greek epigrammatic poet, a native most probably of Macedonia. The epithet Μακεδών is appended to his name before the third epigram in the Vat. MS. ; and the subjects of the second, eighth, ninth, and tenth epigrams agree with this account of his origin. He lived in the time of Alexander the Great, to whose death he alludes. His extant poems are chiefly about country life and hunting.
