EspañolANTIPATER OF SIDON
'Antipater of Sidon' (Ancient Greek Ἀντίπατρος), 'Antipatros' or 'Antipatros Sidonios' in the Anthologies, was an ancient Greek poet in the second half of the 1st century BCE.
He was the author of short elegiacs, some of which are preserved in the ''Greek Anthology'', e.g., "Crown of Meleager". He also composed an epitaph for Sappho in which he stated that she died of natural causes and was buried in her homeland. Cicero (''Oratore'', III, 50 and ''de Fato'', 2) described him as a brilliant epigrammist but sometimes too fond of imitation.
He, along with Philo of Byzantium, Strabo, Herodotus, and Diodoros of Sicily, is attributed with the list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which he described in a poem composed about 140 BCE:
