Timola'us

2. A Greek writer, a native of Larissa, and a disciple of Anaximenes of Lampsacus. He exercised his ingenuity by producing an Iliad, in which each line of Homer was followed by one of his own ; thus : --

μῆνιν ἂειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
ἣν ἔθετο Χρύσου κεχολώμενος εἵνεκα κούρης,
οὐλομένην ἣ μύρἰ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾽ ἔθηκε
μαρναμένοις ὅτε Τρωσὶν ἄτερ πολέμιζον ἄνακτος,
πολλὰς δ᾽ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἀΐδι προΐαψεν
Ἓκτορος ἐν παλάμῃσι δαϊζομένων ὑπὸ δουρί.

(Suidas, s.v. Eustath. Praef. in Od. p. 4.) Comp. PIGRES.

[C.P.M]

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
