Simonides of Ceos (Ancient Greek: Σιμωνίδης ὁ Κεῖος) (c. 556 BC-468 BC), Greek lyric poet, was born at Ioulis on Kea. He was included, along with Sappho and Pindar, in the canonical list of nine lyric poets by the scholars of Hellenistic Alexandria. He was uncle to Bacchylides, another of the nine lyric poets. He is the narrator and main character of Mary Renault’s historical novel The Praise Singer. He is cited by Plato in The Republic.

Simonides of Ceos

…his poems on the war of liberation against Persia no doubt gave a powerful impulse to the national patriotism.

For his poems he could command almost any price: later writers, from Aristophanes onwards, accuse him of avarice, probably not without some reason – see for example Peace (play). To Hiero’s queen, who asked him whether it was better to be born rich or a genius, he replied “Rich, for genius is ever found at the gates of the rich.”

…Semonides (Greek: Σιμωνίδης Ἀμοργῖνος) of Amorgos, was the second, both in time and in reputation, of the three principal iambic poets of the early period of Greek literature, namely, Archilochus, Semonides, and Hipponax. [][][][7][][][]Greatest POTentiAL[][][5][][]
