The lyric poetry, 7th century BC-4th AD, twenty-one mostly anonymous items, includes some of Sappho, Corinna, Pindar, Philicus, fragments of dithyrambic poetry, hymns, songs and so on. There are seventeen examples of elegiac and iambic, 7th century BC-3rd AD, including some Mimnermus, Amyntas, Leonidas, Antipater of Sidon, and Posidippus.
