History
An Athenian poet with sad and melancholy verses, considered the oldest hymn-poet by some,[1] and first to sing an iaemos on the tomb of Linus. Previous to Homer, he had written a poem about Eros,[2] about the Charites,[3] without mentioning their number or their names, and Zeus after Philostratus and several hymns, including one to Demeter; he was one of the first to sing the kidnapping of Persephone, in which he speaks of Narcissus, and the journeys of Demeter that followed.[4]
