Bacchylides (5th century Be was an Ancient Greek lyric poet. Later
Greeks included him in the canonical list of nine lyric poets,
which included his uncle Simonides. His earliest odes can be
approximately dated to 481 or 479 BC. He is known to have visited
the court of Hiero I of Syracuse (478-467). Plutarch names
Bacchylides in a list of writers who, after they had been banished
from their native cities, were active and successful in literature.
Quotations from Bacchylides, or references to him, occur in
Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Strabo, Plutarch, Stobaeus, Athenaeus,
Aulus Gellius, Zenobius, Hephaestion, Clement of Alexandria, and
various grammarians or scholiasts. Bacchylides poetry is known for
its use of picturesque detail, its simplicity, and its clarity.
