This author's magnum opus was first pieced together by Zacharias Kalliergis. One of his epigrams states that he is the son of Praxagoras, and in his greatest work he is known as Simichidas. His residence at Alexandria is supported by an epic honoring the marriage of Arsino?to Ptolemy Philadelphus, and his encomium to Hiero II confirms his birth in Syracuse. A lament for the shepherd Daphnis is the subject of his first work, Thyrsis, though his best is a poem set on Cos that praises his teacher Philetas, the Harvest Feast, part of a collection that inspired Vergil's Eclogues.
