This author's name is invoked in a poem that begins "Ruin seize thee, ruthless king" that was written by Thomas Gray. One account of this author's death is that he did not write enough poetry to Persephone so he fell asleep and was taken to Hades the next day to write for her. This contemporary of Bacchylides used many meters inspired by his predecessor Stesichorus. One of his poems is addressed to Hippocleas, but much of that poem is a digression on the Hyperboreans and their practice of honoring Perseus. Much of his poetry is on the Isthmian games, the Pythian Games, and the Olympian Games. For 10 points, name this member of the nine lyric poets known for his odes.
