Aristarchus or Aristarch of Tegea was a contemporary of Sophocles and Euripides , who lived to be a centenarian, to compose seventy pieces and to win two tragic victories. Only the titles of three of his plays Achilles , Asclepius , and Tantalus with a single line of the text, have come down to us, though Ennius freely borrowed from his play about Achilles . Among his merits seems to have been that of brevity for, as Suidas relates, he was the first one to make his plays of the present length.

Anyte of Tegea fl. early 3rd century BC was an Arcadia n poet , admired by her contemporaries and later generations for her charming epigram s and epitaph s. Antipater of Thessalonica listed her as one of the nine earthly muses. According to some sources, she was the leader of a school of poetry and literature on Peloponnesus , which also included the poet Leonidas of Tarentum . At least 18 of her epigrams, written in the Doric Greek Doric dialect, survive in the Greek Anthology an additional six are doubtfully attributed to her. Even so, we have more complete poems by Anyte than by any other Greek woman, since the nine books of Sappho survive only in fragments. She was the first to write epitaphs for animals, and one of the first known to write vivid descriptions of untamed nature. The following example translated by Marilyn B. Skinner is of a statue of Aphrodite , often known as the Cyprian because of her origin This is the site of the Cyprian, since it is agreeable to her to look ever from the mainland upon the bright sea that she may make the voyage good for sailors. Around her the sea trembles looking upon her polished image. References M. J.

File Aristarchus of Samothrace.JPG thumb Aristarchus of Samothrace, detail from Apotheosis of Homer 1827 by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres 1780 1867 Aristarchus of Samothrace polytonic , 220 BC 220? &ndash 143 BC 143 BC? was a Philologist grammarian noted as the most influential of all scholars of Homer ic poetry. He was the librarian of the Library of Alexandria library Alexandria of Alexandria and seems to have succeeded his teacher Aristophanes of Byzantium Aristophanes Byzantium of Byzantium in that role. He established the most historically important critical edition of the Homeric poems, and he is said to have applied his teacher s accent system to it, pointing the texts with a careful eye for metrical correctness. His rejection of doubtful lines ref Cic. ad Fam. iii.11.5, ix.10.1 in Pis. 30.73 ref made his severity proverbial ref Hor. A. P. 450 ref . It is likely that he, or more probably, another predecessor at Alexandria, Zenodotus , was responsible for the division of the Iliad and Odyssey into twenty four books each. According to the Suda , Aristarchus wrote 800 treatises polytonic on various topics these are all lost but for fragments preserved in the various scholia . Accounts of his death vary, though they agree that it was during the persecutions of Ptolemy VIII Physcon Ptolemy VIII Ptolemaic Egypt of Egypt . One account has him, having contracted an incurable Edema dropsy , starving himself to death while in exile on Cyprus . The historical connection of his name to literary criticism has created the term aristarch for someone who is a judgmental critic.

Battle between History of Sparta Sparta and Arcadia around approximately 550 BC in which the Arcadians defeated the Spartans. According to Herodotus , the Spartans marched to battle carrying rods with which to parcel out their soon to be conquered land and chains with which to shackle their soon to be conquered Arcadian Helots. Instead, they became prisoners of war and ended up wearing the very chains they brought with them. ref The Spartans The World of the Warrior Heroes of Ancient Greece Paul Cartledge. Pg. 82 ref Sparta, still recoiling from the defeat at Hysiai and Messian revolts, in need of more land and resources took to attacking Arcadian Tegea . Though few details are known today of the battle itself, the upset victory for Tegea is legendary. The fetters, the chains that the Spartans brought, were put on display for centuries to come. Sparta s cocky attitude and Tegea s non militaristic status was often remarked on by Herodotus, Greek historian of the time, saying the battle s failure for the Spartans and the shame that came with it inspired Sparta to further improve their military.
