PYTHERMUS OF TEOS

Nothing else matters, it seems, apart from gold.

Pythermus of Teos (fl. before 540 BCE),

translated by M. L. West(1937-2015)

Pythermus, son of doomed Teos,

writer of songs for drinking wine

in good company, his name

writ in history with one sentence

and Hipponax underlined it.
