	Simonides Of Ceos - LoveToKnow 1911
		His reputation as a man of learning is shown by the tradition that he introduced the distinction between the long and short vowels (e, r t, o, w), afterwards adopted in the Ionic alphabet which came into general use during the archonship of Eucleides (403).
		His most celebrated fragment is a dirge, in which Danae, adrift with the infant Perseus on the sea in a dark and stormy night, takes comfort from the peaceful slumber of her babe.
		Simonides here illustrates his own saying that poetry is vocal painting, as painting is silent poetry." Of the many English translations of this poem, one of the best is that by J. Symonds in Studies on the Greek Poets.

	Simonides of Amorgos - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIMONIDES (or [[Semonides) Of Amorgos]], Greek iambic poet, flourished in the middle of the 7th century B.C. He was a native of Samos, and derived his surname from having founded a colony in the neighbouring island of Amorgos.
		With Simonides, as with Archilochus, the iambic is still the vehicle of bitter satire, interchanging with melancholy, but in Simonides the satire is rather general than individual.
		His "Pedigree of Women" may have been suggested by the beast fable, as we find it in Hesiod and Archilochus, and as it recurs a century later in Phocylides; it is clear at least that Simonides knew the works of the former.

		On the other hand, it was not uncommon for the early poets to write metrical histories of their native countries or cities, and such a history of Samos, chiefly of a genealogical character, had been composed in hexameter verse, long before the time of Simonides, by Asms, the son of Amphiptolemus.
		It is therefore quite natural, Welcker contends, that when the elegiac metre had been established, Simonides should have applied it to the same subject, intermixing perhaps in his narrations counsels and opinions on public affairs, and thus, forming a poem akin to the Eunomia of Tyrtaeus or the Ionia of Bias.

		simonides (^/jcwi'st/s) of Samos, or, as he is more usually designated, of Amorgos, has already, like Archilochus, been briefly alluded to under the head of the elegiac poets.
		The most important of his extant fragments is a satire upon women, in which he derives the various, though generally bad qualities of women from the variety of their origin; thus, the uncleanly woman is derived from the swine ; the cunning woman from the fox, the talkative woman from the dog, and so on.

		The shorter pieces of the elegiac poets might very often well be classed as epigrams but for the uncertainty, due to the form in which their text has come down to us, whether they are not in all cases, as they undoubtedly are in some, portions of longer poems.
		Originally indeed it had a much wider area, as it afterwards had again with the Alexandrian poets; it seems to have been the common metre for every kind of poetry which was neither purely lyrical on the one hand, nor on the other included in the definite scope of the heroic hexameter.
		The name {elegos}, "wailing", is probably as late as Simonides, when from the frequency of its use for funeral inscriptions the metre had acquired a mournful connotation, and become the /tristis elegeïa/ of the Latin poets.

		Many couplets and quatrains of Theognis fall under this head; and an excellent instance on a larger scale is the fragment of fourteen lines by Simonides of Amorgos,[7] which is the exact type on which many of the later epigrams of life are moulded.
		In such cases respice auctoris animum is a safe rule; what was not written as an epigram is not an epigram.
