The monodrama Alexandra is attributed to his contemporary, Lycophron. Phaenomena, a poem on star constellations and weather signs by Aratus (c. 315-245 BCE), was among the most widely read in antiquity and one of the few Greek poems translated into Arabic.$bCallimachus of Cyrene, 3rd century BCE, became after 284 a teacher of grammar and poetry at Alexandria. He was made a librarian in the new library there and prepared a catalogue of its books. He died about the year 240. Of his large published output, only 6 hymns, 63 epigrams, and fragments survive (the fragments are in Loeb no. 421). The hymns are very learned and artificial in style; the epigrams are good (they are also in the Loeb Greek Anthology volumes). Lycophron of Chalcis in Euboea was a contemporary of Callimachus in Alexandria where he became supervisor of the comedies included in the new library. He wrote a treatise on these and composed tragedies and other poetry. We possess Alexandra or Cassandra wherein Cassandra foretells the fortune of Troy and the besieging Greeks. This poem is a curiosity--a showpiece of knowledge of obscure stories, names, and words. Aratus of Soli in Cilicia, ca. 315-245 BCE, was a didactic poet at the court of Antigonus Gonatas of Macedonia, where he wrote his famous astronomical poem Phaenomena (Appearances). He was for a time in the court of Antiochus I of Syria but returned to Macedonia. Phaenomena was highly regarded in antiquity; it was translated into Latin by Cicero, Germanicus Caesar, and Avienus. 606 $aEpigrams, Greek$3(OCoLC)914148$2fast 606 $aGreek poetry$3(OCoLC)947503$2fast 606 $aGreek poetry, Hellenistic$3(OCoLC)947510$2fast 606 $aHymns, Greek (Classical)$3(OCoLC)965569$2fast 606 $aIambic poetry, Greek$3(OCoLC)966426$2fast 607 $aEgypt$zAlexandria$2fast 615 7$aEpigrams, Greek 615 7$aGreek poetry 615 7$aGreek poetry, Hellenistic 615 7$aHymns, Greek (Classical) 615 7$aIambic poetry, Greek 700 $aCallimachus$0161836 702 $aAratus 702 $aLycophron 702 $aMair$b A.
