Scholaist on Sophocles Trach., 266: 
There is a disagreement as to the number of the sons of Eurytus. 
For Hesiod says Eurytus and Antioche had as many as four sons;
but Creophylus says two.

Fragment #4 —­ Scholiast on Euripides Medea, 273:  Didymus contrasts the following account given by Creophylus, which is as follows:  while Medea was living in Corinth, she poisoned Creon, who was ruler of the city at that time, and because she feared his friends and kinsfolk, fled to Athens.  However, since her sons were too young to go along with her, she left them at the altar of Hera Acraea, thinking that their father would see to their safety.  But the relatives of Creon killed them and spread the story that Medea had killed her own children as well as Creon.

ENDNOTES: 

(1) This Artemisia, who distinguished herself at the battle of
     Salamis (Herodotus, vii. 99) is here confused with the later
     Artemisia, the wife of Mausolus, who died 350 B.C.
(2) i.e. the fox knows many ways to baffle its foes, while the
     hedge-hog knows one only which is far more effectual.
(3) Attributed to Homer by Zenobius, and by Bergk to the
     “Margites”.
