Licymnios of Chios (Latin: Licymnius, Greek: Λικύμνιος) was an ancient Greek dithyrambic poet from Chios, probably born from the fourth century BC although it could not be determined with certainty in which era did he lived.[1]
Aristotle mentions him in his "Rhetoric", saying that Licymnios works were better to read than to listen.[1] Also mentioned by Chaeremon of Alexandria. Among his poems, a prayer for health, preserved by Sextus Empiricus, but could be an adjudication error and corresponds to an another poet. Partii says that he made a poem about the conquest of Sardes and Eustathius of Epiphania mentions him in a poem as Λικύμνιον Βουπραδιέα ἀοιδόν.
