''''Phanocles''', [[Greece|Greek]] elegiac [[poet]], probably flourished about the time of [[Alexander the Great]]. His extant fragments show resemblances in style and language to [[Philitas of Cos]], [[Callimachus]] and [[Hermesianax]]. He was the author of a poem on [[pederasty]]. A lengthy fragment in [[Stobaeus]] (''Florilegium'', 64) describes the love of [[Orpheus]] for the youthful Calaîs, son of Boreas, and his subsequent death at the hands of the Thracian women. It is one of the best extant specimens of Greek elegiac poetry. ==References== * {{cite book |author= Nicolaus Bachius (Bach) |title= Philetae Coi, Hermesianactis Colophonii, atque Phanoclis Reliquiae |location=Halle |publisher= Libraria Gebaueria |date=1829 |language=Latin}} * {{cite book |author= [[Ludwig Preller]] |title= Ausgewählte Aufsätze aus dem Gebiete der classischen Alterthumswissenschaft |location=Berlin |publisher= [[Weidmannsche Buchhandlung]] |date=1864 |language=German}} ---- {{1911}} [[Category:Ancient Greek poets]] [[Category:4th-century BC Greek people]] [[Category:4th-century BC poets]] [[Category:Ancient Greek elegiac poets]] [[Category:Greek mythology of Thrace]] [[de:Phanokles]] [[el:Φανοκλής]] [[it:Fanocle]] [[nl:Phanocles]] [[no:Fanokles]]'
