Archilochus
Archilochus, or, Archilochos (Ancient Greek: Ἀρχίλοχος) (c. 680 BC – c. 645 BC) was a poet from the island of Paros in the Archaic period in Greece celebrated for his versatile and innovative use of poetic meters and as the earliest known Greek author to compose almost entirely on the theme of his own emotions and experiences. Alexandrian scholars included him in their canonic list of iambic poets, along with Semonides and Hipponax, yet ancient commentators also numbered him with Tyrtaeus and Callinus as the possible inventor of the elegy. However modern critics often characterize him simply as a lyric poet. Although his work now only survives in fragments, he was revered by the ancient Greeks as one of their most brilliant authors, able to be mentioned in the same breath as Homer and Hesiod, yet he was also censured by them as the archetypal poet of blame — his invectives were even said to have driven his former fiancee and her father to suicide. He presented himself as a man of few illusions either in war or in love, such as in the following elegy, where discretion is seen to be the better part of valour:

Hipponax
Hipponax (Ancient Greek: Ἱππῶναξ) of Ephesus and later Clazomenae was an Ancient Greek iambic poet who composed verses depicting the vulgar side of life in Ionian society in the sixth century BC. He was celebrated by ancient authors for his malicious wit (especially for his attacks on some contemporary sculptors, Bupalus and Athenis), and he was reputed to be physically deformed (a reputation that might have been inspired by the nature of his poetry). Little of his work survives despite its interest to Alexandrian scholars, who collected it in two or three books. He influenced Alexandrian poets searching for alternative styles and uses of language, such as Callimachus and Herodas, and his colourful reputation as an acerbic, social critic also made him a popular subject for verse, as in this epigram by Theocritus:
Ancient literary critics credited him with inventing literary parody and "lame" poetic meters suitable for vigorous abuse, as well as with influencing comic dramatists such as Aristophanes. His witty, abusive style appears for example in this quote by Herodian, who however was mainly interested in its linguistic aspects (many of the extant verses were preserved for us by lexicographers and grammarians interested in rare words):

Semonides of Amorgos
For the lyric poet, see Simonides of Ceos
Semonides (Ancient Greek: Σιμωνίδης Ἀμοργῖνος) of Amorgos, was an ancient Greek poet who composed verses in the iambus genre, for which reason he is often associated with two of its other celebrated exponents, Archilochus and Hipponax. The chief information which we have respecting him is contained in two articles of the Suda from which we learn that his father's name was Crines, and that he was originally a native of Samos. Although the Suda makes him a contemporary of Archilochus, modern scholars generally consider his floruit to be somewhat later. The statement of the Suda that he flourished 490 years after the Trojan War, would place him in the seventh century BC.
He is best known today for fr. 7, often titled "On Women."

Simonides of Ceos
Simonides of Ceos (Ancient Greek: Σιμωνίδης ὁ Κεῖος) (c. 556 BC-468 BC) was a Greek lyric poet, born at Ioulis on Kea. The scholars of Hellenistic Alexandria included him in the canonical list of nine lyric poets, along with Bacchylides (his nephew) and Pindar (reputedly a bitter rival). Both Bacchylides and Pindar benefited from his innovative approach to lyric poetry and he was more involved than either of them in the major events and personalities of their times. His fame owes much to traditional accounts of his colourful life, as one of the wisest of men, as a greedy miser, as an inventor of a system of mnemonics and also of some letters of the Greek alphabet (ω, η, ξ, ψ ). Such accounts include fanciful elements yet he had a real influence on the sophistic enlightenment of the classical era. His fame as a poet rests largely on his ability to present basic human situations with affecting simplicity. In the words of the Roman rhetorician Quintilian:
He is popularly associated with epitaphs commemorating fallen warriors, as for example the Lacedaemonians at The Battle of Thermopylae:

For the lyric poet, see Simonides of Ceos

Semonides (Ancient Greek: Σιμωνίδης Ἀμοργῖνος) of Amorgos, was an ancient Greek poet who composed verses in the iambus genre, for which reason he is often associated with two of its other celebrated exponents, Archilochus and Hipponax. The chief information which we have respecting him is contained in two articles of the Suda from which we learn that his father's name was Crines, and that he was originally a native of Samos. Although the Suda makes him a contemporary of Archilochus, modern scholars generally consider his floruit to be somewhat later.^[1] The statement of the Suda that he flourished 490 years after the Trojan War, would place him in the seventh century BC.

He is best known today for fr. 7, often titled "On Women." ^[2]
