Archelaus (poet)
Archelaus ( grc, Ἀρχέλαος) was the author of a poem consisting of upwards of three hundred Greek iambics, entitled Περὶ τῆς ῾Ιερᾶς Τέχνης (''Perì tês Hierâs Tékhnēs'', in Latin "De Sacra Arte"). Nothing is known of the events of his life; his date also is uncertain, but the poem is evidently the work of a comparatively recent writer, and must not be attributed to any of the older authors of this name. This poem was published for the first time in the second volume of Julius Ludwig Ideler Julius Ludwig Ideler (3 September 1809, in Berlin – 17 July 1842, in Berlin) was a German philologist and naturalist. He was the son of astronomer Christian Ludwig Ideler. From 1828 he studied medicine, mathematics and natural sciences at th ...'s ''Physici et Medici Graeci Minores'' in 1842; but a few extracts had previously been inserted by J. S. Bernard, in his edition of Palladius, ''De Febribus'' in 1745. Notes Ancient Greek poets {{ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Iamb (poetry)
An iamb () or iambus is a metrical foot used in various types of poetry. Originally the term referred to one of the feet of the quantitative meter of classical Greek prosody: a short syllable followed by a long syllable (as in () "beautiful (f.)"). This terminology was adopted in the description of accentual-syllabic verse in English, where it refers to a foot comprising an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (as in ''abóve''). Thus a Latin word like , because of its short-long rhythm, is considered by Latin scholars to be an iamb, but because it has a stress on the first syllable, in modern linguistics it is considered to be a trochee. Etymology R. S. P. Beekes has suggested that the grc, ἴαμβος ''iambos'' has a Pre-Greek origin. An old hypothesis is that the word is borrowed from Phrygian or Pelasgian, and literally means "Einschritt", i. e., "one-step", compare ''dithyramb'' and ''thriambus'', but H. S. Versnel rejects this etymology and sugg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Palladius (physician)
Palladius ( el, Παλλάδιος; c. 6th century) was a Greek medical writer, some of whose works are still extant. Nothing is known of the events of his life, but, as he is commonly called ''Iatrosophistes'', he is supposed to have gained that title by having been a professor of medicine at Alexandria. His date is uncertain; he may have lived in the 6th or 7th centuries. All that can be pronounced with certainty is that he quotes Galen and is himself quoted by Rhazes. Three of his works are extant:Eleanor Dickey, (2007), ''Ancient Greek Scholarship: A Guide to Finding, Reading, and Understanding Scholia, Commentaries, Lexica, and Grammatical Treatises'', page 44.
