He was a great success in his lifetime, & a close friend of Emperor Hadrian. 4 of his poems have musical notation, & were likely used to teach music in later antiquity and Byzantium. 14 poems attributed to Mesomedes are valuable records of poetry sung to the lyre or to the cithara by some of the most highly rewarded musicians in the high Roman empire - metrically simple, but not always simple in thought or expression.
