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 . Among his merits seems to have been that of brevity for, as Suidas relates, he was the first one to make his plays of the present length.

Anyte of Tegea fl. early 3rd century BC was an Arcadia n poet , admired by her contemporaries and later generations for her charming epigram s and epitaph s. Antipater of Thessalonica listed her as one of the nine earthly muses. According to some sources, she was the leader of a school of poetry and literature on Peloponnesus , which also included the poet Leonidas of Tarentum . At least 18 of her epigrams, written in the Doric Greek Doric dialect, survive in the Greek Anthology an additional six are doubtfully attributed to her. Even so, we have more complete poems by Anyte than by any other Greek woman, since the nine books of Sappho survive only in fragments. She was the first to write epitaphs for animals, and one of the first known to write vivid descriptions of untamed nature. The following example translated by Marilyn B. Skinner is of a statue of Aphrodite , often known as the Cyprian because of her origin This is the site of the Cyprian, since it is agreeable to her to look ever from the mainland upon the bright sea that she may make the voyage good for sailors. Around her the sea trembles looking upon her polished image. References M. J.

Battle between History of Sparta Sparta and Arcadia around approximately 550 BC in which the Arcadians defeated the Spartans. According to Herodotus , the Spartans marched to battle carrying rods with which to parcel out their soon to be conquered land and chains with which to shackle their soon to be conquered Arcadian Helots. Instead, they became prisoners of war and ended up wearing the very chains they brought with them. ref The Spartans The World of the Warrior Heroes of Ancient Greece Paul Cartledge. Pg. 82 ref Sparta, still recoiling from the defeat at Hysiai and Messian revolts, in need of more land and resources took to attacking Arcadian Tegea . Though few details are known today of the battle itself, the upset victory for Tegea is legendary. The fetters, the chains that the Spartans brought, were put on display for centuries to come. Sparta s cocky attitude and Tegea s non militaristic status was often remarked on by Herodotus, Greek historian of the time, saying the battle s failure for the Spartans and the shame that came with it inspired Sparta to further improve their military.

In 395 BC 395 , Pausanias failed to join forces with Lysander, and for this was condemned to death and replaced as king by his son Agesipolis I . Pausanias escaped execution and left Sparta to live in exile in Tegea . He wrote his book in Tegea. No fragments of the book survived and its contents or purposes are very uncertain. Pausanias is one of the first three writers to make an appearance in Sparta apart from poets at the very start of the 4th century BC. Lysander was also one of these three writers.

We are told that he made an image of Athena dedicated by Callias the contemporary of Pisistratus at Athens about 564 BC. An inscription bearing his name has been found at Athens, written in Ionic dialect . The tradition which made him a pupil of Daedalus is apparently misleading, since Daedalus had no connection with Ionic art.
