e/Thallus (poet)

Information
has gloss	eng: Thallus of Miletus, was an epigrammatic poet, five of whose epigrams are preserved in the Greek Anthology. Of these the first is in honour of the birthday of a Roman emperor, or one of the imperial family , on which account Bovinus supposes the poet to be the same person who is mentioned in an extant inscription as a freedman of Germanicus . The name is given in various forms: Thalos, Thyelaus, Thyillus ; it may have arisen from a confusion between the poet and the celebrated philosopher, Thales of Miletus. The name Thallos occurs frequently in inscriptions from Attica and Ionia.
