Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 2, 1867, p. 366: "Hedylus, the son of Melicertus, was a native of Samos of Athens, and an epigrammatic poet. According to Athenaeus, he killed himself for love of a certain Glaucus. His epigrams were included in the Garland of Meleager.... Eleven of them are in the Greek Anthology....but the genuineness of two of these ....is very doubtful.."
Brill's New Pauly: "Epigrammatist of the Garland of Meleager (Anth. Pal. 4,1,45), son of the female elegiac poet Hedyle, lived on Samos and under Ptolemy II in Alexandria (283/282-243 BC). Of his poems (dedicatory, funerary, epideictic, sympotic and derisive epigrams) eight are passed down in Athenaeus and five in the Anthologia Palatina ...." Albiani, Maria Grazia (Bologna).
