An eminent Greek poet; flourished in the 7th century B. C. Of his life nothing is definitely known. He was classed by the ancients with the greatest poets, Homer, Pindar, Sophocles; but of his works only a few fragments have come down to us. His lyrics, in iambic verse, were often pointed with the bitterest satire; besides satires he wrote hymns, elegies, and epodes.
