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.

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.

Archbishop Eustathius of Thessalonica or Eustathios of Thessalonike lang el c. 1115 1195 6 was a Greek bishop and scholar. He is most noted for his contemporary account of the sack of Thessalonike by the Normans in 1185, for his orations and for his commentaries on Homer , which incorporate many remarks by much earlier researchers. Life After being a monk in the monastery of St. Florus, Eustathios was appointed to the offices of superintendent of petitions Polytonic , epi ton deeseon , professor of rhetoric Polytonic , and was ordained a deacon in Constantinople. He was ordained bishop of Myra . Ca. 1178 he was appointed to the archbishopric of Thessalonice, where he remained until his death in ca. 1195 6. Accounts of his life and work are given in the funeral orations by Euthymius and Michael Choniates of which manuscripts survive in the Bodleian Library in the University of Oxford . Niketas Choniates viii.238, x.334 praised him as the most learned man of his age, a judgment which is difficult to dispute. He wrote commentaries on ancient Greek poets, theological treatises, addresses, letters, and an important account of the sack of Thessalonice by William II of Sicily in 1185. Of his works, his commentaries on Homer are the most widely referred to they display an extensive knowledge of Greek literature from the earliest to the latest times.

Philippus of Thessalonica Ancient Greek Greek 1st century or Philippus Epigrammaticus was the compiler of an Anthology of epigram Epigrammatists subsequent to Meleager of Gadara and is himself the author of 72 epigrams in the Greek Anthology . Philippus has one word which describes the epigram by a single quality he calls his work an oligostikhia or collection of poems not exceeding a few lines in length. Philippus own epigrams, of which over seventy are extant, are generally rather dull, chiefly school exercises, and, in the phrase of Jacobs, imitatione magis quam inventione conspicua . But we owe to him the preservation of a large mass of work belonging to the Roman period. His collection of epigrams was called Garland of Philippus , copying the name of recently published at the time in the same century Garland of Meleagros .
