Archilochus of Paros
Archilochus (; Arkhílokhos; 680 – c. 645 BC) was an iambic poet of the Archaic period from the island of Paros. He is celebrated for his versatile and innovative use of poetic meters, and is the earliest known Greek author to compose almost entirely on the theme of his own emotions and experiences.
Thasus
In Greek mythology, Thasus or Thasos ( or ; ) was a son of Poseidon (or, in other versions, Agenor, Phoenix or Cilix). He was a Phoenician prince and one of those who set out from Phoenicia in search of Europa (Thasus' sister). His brother, Cadmus, gave him a part of the army and left him on an island (Thasos) where he "founded" the eponymous town of Thasos.
