Cyclic Poets is a shorthand term for the early Greek epic poets, approximate contemporaries of Homer. We know no more about these poets than we know about Homer, but modern scholars regard them as having composed orally, as did Homer. In the classical period, surviving early epic poems were ascribed to these authors, just as the ''Iliad'' and ''Odyssey'' were ascribed to Homer. Together with Homer, whose ''Iliad'' covers a mere 50 days of the war, they cover the complete war "cycle", thus the name. Most modern scholars place Homer in the 8th century BC. The other poets listed below seemed to have lived in the 7th–5th centuries BC. Excluding Homer's, none of the works of the cyclic poets survive. == List of named poets == *Homer *Stasinus of Cyprus *Creophylus of Samos *Panyassis of Halicarnassus *Arctinus of Miletus *Lesches of Pyrrha *Cinaethon of Sparta *Thestorides of Phocaea (the pseudo-Herodotean ''Life of Homer'' says that Thestorides used writing) *Antimachus of Teos *Eumelus of Corinth *Agias of Troezen *Diodorus of Erythrae *Hegesias of Salamis (or Hegesinus) *Cyprias of Halicarnassus *Carcinus of Naupactus *Prodicus of Phocaea *Eugammon of Cyrene *Pisinous of Lindus *Pisander of Camirus 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「cyclic poets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
