 Fragments of his poetry survive as quotations in other ancient authors, the most extensive and well known of which is a satiric account of different types of women which is often cited in discussions of misogyny in Archaic Greece.The poem takes the form of a catalogue, with each type of woman represented by an animal whose characteristics—in the poet's scheme—are also characteristic of a large body of the female population.Other fragments belong to the registers of gnomic poetry and wisdom literature in which the Hesiodic "Works and Days" and the "Theognidea" are classed, and reflect a similarly pessimistic view of the human experience.
