Callimachus (third century BCE) authored Hymns and Epigrams. The monodrama Alexandra is attributed to his contemporary, Lycophron. Phaenomena, a poem on star constellations and weather signs by Aratus (c. 315-245 BCE), was among the most widely read in antiquity and one of the few Greek poems translated into Arabic.

Καλλίμαχος, whose name reads 'fighting nobly', was responsible for the cataloging of that famous Library of Alexandria which was a bulwark against obscurantists.
Ἄρατος ὁ Σολεύς means the desirable (or wanted) man from Soli. Aratus' "Phaenomena" was translated by Marcus Tullius Cicero "in his early youth."
