- Synopsis
- Schmidt (writing, Manchester Metropolitan U. ) relates what is known about the lives of 25 poets or groups of poets, but what is known most about them are the poems that were written and have survived, and so they consume most of his attention. He begins of course with Orpheus of Thrace. Others of the better known include Homer, Hesiod, Alcaeus of Mytilene, Sappho of Eressus, Solon of Athens, Anacreon of Teos, Pindar of Thebes, and Apollonius of Rhodes.
