Brill's New Pauly: "Named by Heph. 10,2 Consbruch as the inventor of Glyconic verse ( Metre). His existence is disputed
and the three verses ascribed to him (= 1029 PMG) are generally viewed as alexandrine in terms of metre: G. could hardly have lived before Sappho (late 7th cent. BC),
who used this meter. Choeroboscus names G. (in his Comm. on St. In Heph. Consbruch) as a comedic poet, but probably mistook him for Leucon (PCG V 612).
Anth. Pal. 10,124, a two-liner on the futility of all things, is attributed to G., but its poet is probably even more recent than the author cited by
Hephaestion (FGE 112)...."
