Quotes:Philippus of Thessalonica

Zirkoff, Boris

Philippus of Thessalonica. Greek epigrammatic poet who, besides composing a large number of epigrams himself, compiled one of the ancient Greek Anthologies. This work, in imitation of that of Meleager, contains chiefly the epigrams of poets who lived in, or shortly before, the time of Philip. It is inferred that he flourished in the time of 586 Trajan, though he may have lived after the time of Augustus. (Vide Jacobs, Anth. Graec., Vol. XIII, pp. 934-36.)
