SUMMARY
Lyric poet from Teos (c. 570-485 BC). Only fragments of his verse, which was in praise of love and symposium and influenced the poetry of the Hellenistic and Roman period, have survived. He lived at the court of Polycrates of Samos and later near Hipparchus in Athens. He died very old in Athens or Teos after he had previously visited Thessaly. |
