TLG Canon of Greek Authors and Works, Third Edition, pg. 392
Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 3, 1867, p. 1137-1138: "Timocreon, of Rhodes, a Lyric poet, celebrated for the bitter and pugnacious spirit of his works, and especially for his attacks on Themistocles and Simonides...."
Brill's New Pauly: "Lyricist and elegist from Ialysus in Rhodes, early 5th cent. BC, according to the Suda also a writer of the Old Comedy (for which no evidence survives, however). In Mesopotamian Susa, T. entertained the Persian king as a pentathlete and a jester (Ath. 415f-416a). It is well known that there was a feud between him and Themistocles, whom he attacks for his failure to return him to Rhodes... Most of T.'s poems (fragments survive in a number of metres: iambic, trochaic, dactylic or dactylo-epitrite and Ionic) were probably recited at the symposium...." Robbins, Emmet (Toronto).
