Aristomache of Erythrae
# Aristomache of Erythrae

Aristomache (Ancient Greek: Ἀριστομάχη) of Erythrae was a poet of 2nd century BCE ancient Greece who competed in the Isthmian games at Corinth -- which permitted female contestants in the poetical competitions -- and twice won first prize.

Both Plutarch and Polemon of Athens report she dedicated in the treasury of Sicyon a "golden book", though what exactly is meant by this is unclear, and various scholars over the years have offered different interpretations: a golden tablet, a book with golden writing, a gilded book, etc.
