=== p65 === ALCMAN Lire Suidas Lexicon: Aleman :—A Laconian of Messoa, wrongly called by Crates a Lydian of Sardis. A lyric “poet, the son of Damas or, according to some authorities, of Titarus. He flourished in “the 37th Olympiad (8... 631-625), when Ardys father of Alyattes was king of Lydia. He was of an extremely amorous disposition and the inventor of love-poems, but by birth a slave. He wrote six Books of lyric poems, and was the first to adopt the practice of not accompanying the hexameter with music.} Being a Spartan, he uses the Doric dialect.
