Scythinus of Teos (Ancient Greek: Σκυθίνος; fl.5th or 4th century BCE)[1][2] was an iambic poet from Teos who turned the work of the philosopher Heraclitus into verse.[3] A considerable fragment, apparently from this work, is preserved by Stobaeus.[4] Two of his epigrams are also preserved in the Greek Anthology.[5]

Plutarch also quotes from him twice some verses respecting the lyre,[6] and Athenaeus quotes from him once.[7] Scythinus is also mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium.[8]
