Stesichorus (; Greek: Στησίχορος, Stēsikhoros; c. 630 – 555 BC) was the first great lyric poet of the West. He is best known for telling epic stories in lyric metres but he is also famous for some ancient traditions about his life, such as his opposition to the tyrant Phalaris, and the blindness he is said to have incurred and cured by composing verses first insulting and then flattering to Helen of Troy. * He was ranked among the nine lyric poets esteemed by the scholars of Hellenistic Alexandria and yet his work attracted relatively little interest among ancient commentators, so that remarkably few fragments of his poetry now survive. As one scholar observed in 1967: "Time has dealt more harshly with Stesichorus than with any other major lyric poet." Recent discoveries, recorded on Egyptian papyrus (notably and controversially, the Lille Stesichorus), have led to some improvements in our understanding of his work, confirming his role as a link between Homer's epic narrative and the lyric narrative of poets like Pindar.The following description of the birthplace of the monster Geryon, preserved as a quote by the geographer Strabo, is characteristic of the "descriptive fulness" of his style: * σχεδὸν ἀντιπέρας κλεινᾶς Ἐρυθείας * < * > Ταρτησ- * σοῦ ποταμοῦ παρὰ παγὰσ ἀπείρονας ἀρ- * γυρορίζους * ἐν κευθμῶνι πέτρας.A nineteenth century translation imaginatively fills in the gaps while communicating something of the richness of the language:* Where monster Geryon first beheld the light, * Famed Erytheia rises to the sight; * Born near th' unfathomed silver springs that gleam * 'Mid caverned rocks, and feed Tartessus' stream.Stesichorus exercised an important influence on the representation of myth in 6th century art and on the development of Athenian dramatic poetry. * * |
