Updated: July 29, 2025

Arion, the greater part of whose life was spent at the court of Periander, despot of Corinth, and Stesichorus, of Himera, in Sicily, who flourished about 608 B.C., were two Greek poets especially noted for the improvements they made in choral poetry. The latter's original name was Tis'ias, and he was called Stesichorus, which signifies a "leader of choruses."
