AUTOMEDON of Aetolia is the author of an epigram in the Palatine Anthology, of which the first two lines are in Planudes under the name of Theocritus; it is in his manner, and in the best style of this period.
There are twelve other epigrams by an Automedon of the Roman period in the Anthology, one of them headed "Automedon of Cyzicus." From internal evidence these belong to the reign of Nerva or Trajan.
An Automedon was probably one of the poets in the Anthology of Philippus (/Garland/, l.

Hector then aimed a spear at Automedon but he saw it coming and stooped forward to avoid it, so that it flew past him and the point stuck in the ground, while the butt-end went on quivering till Mars robbed it of its force.
Automedon, peer of fleet Mars, then stripped him of his armour and vaunted over him saying, "I have done little to assuage my sorrow for the son of Menoetius, for the man I have killed is not so good as he was."

 Page3 - Automedon Betrayal
On November 11 1940, whilst steaming in the Indian Ocean, Automedon was attacked by the German raider, Atlantis.
Initially she sent out the distress call (RRR – Automedon – 0416N) the first three letters of which was the recognised code of "under attack by armed raider".
Because of the signal’s incomplete nature (Atlantis quickly destroyed Automedon's radio mast by gunfire) it was not possible to get an exact location of the vessel, and subsequently after a short ferocious battle, Automedon was dead in the water.

He bade Automedon yoke his horses with all speed, for he was the man whom he held in honour next after Achilles, and on whose support in battle he could rely most firmly.
Automedon therefore yoked the fleet horses Xanthus and Balius, steeds that could fly like the wind: these were they whom the harpy Podarge bore to the west wind, as she was grazing in a meadow by the waters of the river Oceanus.
In the side traces he set the noble horse Pedasus, whom Achilles had brought away with him when he sacked the city of Eetion, and who, mortal steed though he was, could take his place along with those that were immortal.

 SS Automedon - The ship that doomed a colony
Unfortunately for Automedon her fate had now been sealed, as this intercepted distress call preceded the capturing of Ole Jacob by an infamous German Raider.
With Automedon at 2,000yds the Raider responded by pouring salvo after deadly salvo into the merchantman, quickly destroying her emergency dynamo house and causing horrendous damage throughout the ship, seconds later the Germans jammed the distress call.
Further evidence that the Automedon incident was influential in this policy was evident on January 21, 1941.

Automedon and Alcimus busied themselves with the harnessing of his horses; they made the bands fast about them, and put the bit in their mouths, drawing the reins back towards the chariot.
Automedon, whip in hand, sprang up behind the horses, and after him Achilles mounted in full armour, resplendent as the sun-god Hyperion.
Then with a loud voice he chided with his father's horses saying, "Xanthus and Balius, famed offspring of Podarge--this time when we have done fighting be sure and bring your driver safely back to the host of the Achaeans, and do not leave him dead on the plain as you did Patroclus."

They would then have fought hand to hand with swords had not the two Ajaxes forced their way through the crowd when they heard their comrade calling, and parted them for all their fury–for Hector, Aeneas, and Chromius were afraid and drew back, leaving Aretus to lie there struck to the heart.

And they shook to earth the dust from their manes, and lightly bare the swift car amid Trojans and Achaians.
And behind them fought Automedon, albeit in grief for his comrade, swooping with his chariot as a vulture on wild geese; for lightly he would flee out of the onset of the Trojans and lightly charge, pursuing them through the thick mellay.
Yet could he not slay any man as he halted to pursue them, for it was impossible that being alone in his sacred car he should at once assail them with the spear and hold his fleet horses.

 The Iliad by Homer: BOOK XVII Of the battle around the body of Patroklos.
And as when a strong man with a sharp axe smiting behind the horns of an ox of the homestead cleaveth the sinew asunder, and the ox leapeth forward and falleth, so leapt Aretos forward and fell on his back; and the spear in his entrails very pierc- ingly quivering unstrung his limbs.
And Hector hurled at Automedon with his bright spear, but he looked steadfastly on the bronze javelin as it came at him and avoided it, for he stooped forward, and the long spear fixed itself in the ground behind, and the javelin-butt quivered, and there dread Ares took away its force.
And then had they lashed at each other with their swords hand to hand, had not the Aiantes parted them in their fury, when they were come through the mellay at their comrades` call.
