Antiquarian Epics
17 Schol. Pind. Ol. 13.74f (exscripsit schol. Eur. Med. 9)
διὰ τί Μηδείας ἐμνημόνευσεν; ὅτι ἡ Κόρινθος πατρῶιον αὐτῆς κτῆμα γέγονε τούτωι τῶι λόγωι· . . . διδάσκει δὲ τοῦτο Εὔμηλός τις ποιητὴς ἱστορικὸς εἰπών·
ἀλλ᾿ ὅτε δὴ Αἰήτης καὶ Ἀλωεὺς ἐξεγένοντο Ἠελίου τε καὶ Ἀντιόπης, τότε δ᾿ ἄνδιχα χώρην δάσσατο παισὶν ἑοῖς Ὑπερίονος ἀγλαὸς υἱός· ἣν μὲν ἔχ᾿ Ἀσωπός, ταύτην πόρε δίωι Ἀλωεῖ· 5ἣν δ᾿ Ἐφύρη κτεάτισσ᾿, Αἰήτηι δῶκεν ἅπασαν. Αἰήτης δ᾿ ἄρ᾿ ἑκὼν Βούνωι παρέδωκε φυλάσσειν, εἰς ὅ κεν αὐτὸς ἵκοιτ᾿ ἠ᾿ ἐξ αὐτοῖό τις ἄλλος, ἢ παῖς ἠ᾿ υἱωνός· ὃ δ᾿ ἵκετο Κολχίδα γαῖαν.
Βοῦνος δὲ Ἑρμοῦ καὶ νύμφης τινὸς παῖς. Cf. Tzetz. in Lyc. 174.
Paus. 2.3.10
Εὔμηλος δὲ Ἥλιον ἔφη δοῦναι τὴν χώραν Ἀλωεῖ μὲν τὴν Ἀσωπίαν, Αἰήτηι δὲ τὴν Ἐφυραίαν. καὶ Αἰήτην ἀπιόντα ἐς Κόλχους παρακαταθέσθαι Βούνωι τὴν γῆν, Βοῦνον δὲ Ἑρμοῦ καὶ Ἀλκιδαμείας εἶναι.

Eumelus
17 Scholiast on Pindar, Olympians
Why does he mention Medea? Because Corinth was her ancestral possession according to this account . . . And this we learn from Eumelus, a historical poet, who says:
But when Aietes and Aloeus were born from Helios and Antiope, then Hyperion’s glorious son divided the country in two between his sons. The Asopus riverland he awarded to noble Aloeus, while all that Ephyra had settled he gave to Aietes. Aietes chose to entrust it to Bounos, until such time as he himself should return, or someone of his blood, a child or grandchild, and he went off to the Colchian land.17
Bounos was the child of Hermes and a nymph.18
Pausanias, Description of Greece
Eumelus said that Helios gave Aloeus the Asopus land and Aietes the Ephyraean; and that Aietes when he went away to Colchis entrusted the country to Bounos, Bounos being the child of Hermes and Alcidamea.
