He was the librarian of the Library of Alexandria library Alexandria of Alexandria and seems to have succeeded his teacher Aristophanes of Byzantium Aristophanes Byzantium of Byzantium in that role. He established the most historically important critical edition of the Homeric poems, and he is said to have applied his teacher s accent system to it, pointing the texts with a careful eye for metrical correctness. His rejection of doubtful lines ref Cic. ad Fam. iii.11.5, ix.10.1 in Pis. 30.73 ref made his severity proverbial ref Hor. A. P. 450 ref . It is likely that he, or more probably, another predecessor at Alexandria, Zenodotus , was responsible for the division of the Iliad and Odyssey into twenty four books each. According to the Suda , Aristarchus wrote 800 treatises lang grc on various topics these are all lost but for fragments preserved in the various scholia . Accounts of his death vary, though they agree that it was during the persecutions of Ptolemy VIII Physcon Ptolemy VIII Ptolemaic Egypt of Egypt . One account has him, having contracted an incurable Edema dropsy , starving himself to death while in exile on Cyprus .

Aristarchus or Aristarch of Tegea was a contemporary of Sophocles and Euripides , who lived to be a centenarian, composed seventy pieces and won two tragic victories. Only the titles of three of his plays Achilles , Asclepius , and Tantalus with a single line of the text, have come down to us, though Ennius freely borrowed from his play about Achilles .

Philippus of Thessalonica Ancient Greek Greek 1st century or Philippus Epigrammaticus was the compiler of an Anthology of epigram Epigrammatists subsequent to Meleager of Gadara and is himself the author of 72 epigrams in the Greek Anthology . Philippus has one word which describes the epigram by a single quality he calls his work an oligostikhia or collection of poems not exceeding a few lines in length. Philippus own epigrams, of which over seventy are extant, are generally rather dull, chiefly school exercises, and, in the phrase of Jacobs, imitatione magis quam inventione conspicua . But we owe to him the preservation of a large mass of work belonging to the Roman period. His collection of epigrams was called Garland of Philippus , copying the name of recently published at the time in the same century Garland of Meleagros .
