Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 1,
1867, p. 890: "Crinagoras, a Greek epigrammatic poet, the author of about fifty epigrams in
the Greek Anthology, was a native of Mytilene...."
Brill's New Pauly: Born about 70 BC, he probably did not die before AD
11 (Anth. Pal. 7,633, cf. 9,283). C. was an influential man in his native town. His
participation in several delegations from his town to Rome is attested in inscriptions: in
48 or 47 and in 45 (IG XII 35a
35b), in 26/25 to Tarragona in Spain (to Augustus, IG XII
35c)......51 poems of good quality are preserved, generally without exaggerated stylistic
sophistication but representing an important historical source.."
