Callinus
Ancient Greek poet
Callinus (Ancient Greek: Καλλῖνος, Kallinos; fl. mid-7th c. BC)[1] was an ancient Greekelegiac poet who lived in the city of Ephesus in Asia Minor in the mid-7th century BC.
His poetry is representative of the genre of martial exhortation elegy in which Tyrtaeus also specialized and which both Archilochus and Mimnermus appear to have composed.[2] Along with these poets, all his near contemporaries, Callinus was considered the inventor of the elegiac couplet by some ancient critics.[3]
He resided in Ephesus in Asia Minor.[4] He is supposed to have flourished between the invasion of Asia Minor by the Cimmerians and their expulsion by Alyattes (630–560 BC).
During his lifetime his own countrymen were also engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Magnesians. These two events give the key to his poetry, in which he endeavours to rouse the indolent Ionians to a sense of patriotism.[5]
