Brill's New Pauly: "Philitas, of Cos, Poet and Philolgist, Hellenistic
Period, Born c. 340 BC on Cos (his father's name was Telephus),... P. was invited to the court
at Alexandria between 305 and 300 BC by Ptolemy I Soter to take responsibility for the
education of the future king Ptolemy II Philadelphus as his διδάσκαλος (didáskalos/'tutor'
cf. Suda s.v. Φιλήτας). After this, he presumably returned to Cos, where he served for at
least a decade as the center of a group of intellectuals and poets....some thirty fragments and
four definite titles are preserved of his poetic works. " Albiani, Maria Grazia (Bologna).
