Book Description:

Bacchylides wrote masterful choral poetry of many types. Other fifth-century BC lyricists included: Myrtis, Telesilla of Argos, Timocreon of Rhodes, Charixena, Diagoras of Melos, Ion of Chios, and Praxilla of Sicyon. More of Boeotian Corinna's poetry survives than that of any other Greek woman poet except Sappho.
