Coluthus or Colluthus of Lycopolis (; ) was a Greek-Egyptian epic poet of the late Roman Empire who flourished during the reign of Anastasius I in the Thebaid.
==Calydoniaca and The Abduction of Helen== According to the Suda, Colothus was the author of a Calydoniaca in six books, doubtless an account of the Calydonian boar hunt, Persica, probably an encomium on emperor Anastasius composed at the end of the Persian wars, and Encomia, or laudatory poems. The Suda does not mention "The Abduction of Helen".
