2. A Greek writer, a native of Larissa, and a disciple of Anaximenes of Lampsacus. He exercised his ingenuity by producing an Iliad, in which each line of Homer was followed by one of his own ; thus : -- μῆνιν ἂειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆοςἣν ἔθετο Χρύσου κεχολώμενος εἵνεκα κούρης,οὐλομένην ἣ μύρἰ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγεʼ ἔθηκεμαρναμένοις ὅτε Τρωσὶν ἄτερ πολέμιζον ἄνακτος,πολλὰς δʼ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἀΐδι προΐαψενἛκτορος ἐν παλάμῃσι δαϊζομένων ὑπὸ δουρί.
