Likymnios of Chios

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.

Aristotle mentions him in his "Rhetoric", saying that Licymnios works were better to read than to listen. 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.
