Figure depicted on ancient Greek vases
Hedylogos and Pothos are yoked to a chariot, behind which stands Aphrodite. Attic red figure cylindrical pyxis, c.420400 BC, attributed to the Meidias Painter.[1]

Hedylogos (Ancient Greek: Ἡδυλόγος, lit.'sweet-voiced, flattering') is one of the Erotes and a figure who commonly appears in ancient Greek vase paintings. A surviving example on a red-figure pyxis from the late 5th century BC shows Hedylogos, alongside his brother Pothos, drawing the chariot of Aphrodite.[1] An oenochoe, originating from close to Thebes and dating to around 370 BC, also depicts him alongside Aphrodite.[2]
