Aristoxenus of Selinus
text:
Aristoxenus of Selinus was a poet of ancient Greece who is said to have been the first who wrote poetry in anapaestic meters. Regarding the time in which he lived, we know that he was older than Epicharmus, which puts him some time before that man's lifetime, 540 to 445 BCE. The writer Eusebius places him around the 29th Olympiad, but this statement requires some explanation. If Aristoxenus was in fact born in that year, he cannot have been from Selinus, as this city was not founded until around
