Eugamon of Cyrene () was an early Greek poet to whom the epic Telegony was ascribed.Holmberg, Ingrid. "The Creation of the Ancient Greek Epic Cycle". Oral Tradition, 13/2 (1998): 469. Accessed 14 August 2025. According to Clement of Alexandria, he stole the poem from the legendary early poet Musaeus; meaning, possibly, that a version of a long-existing traditional epic was written down by Eugamon. He is said to have flourished 567/6 BC,Eusebius, Chronicle, "Olympiad", 53.2.Clement of Alexandria. Stromata, 6.25.2. about two centuries after other cyclic poets like Homer.Browne, Henry (1905). Handbook of Homeric Study. Longmans, Green, and Co. p. 13.
