CALLINUS of Ephesus, the oldest of the Greek elegiac poets and the
creator of the political and warlike elegy. He is supposed to have
flourished between the invasion of Asia Minor by the Cimmerii and their
expulsion by Alyattes (630-560 B.C.). During his lifetime his own

hellenischen Dichtkunst_, ii. pt. i. (1838); and G. Geiger, _De
Callini Aetate_ (1877), who places him earlier, about 642.

CALLIOPE, the muse of epic poetry, so named from the sweetness of her
vioce (Gr. [Greek: kallos], beauty; [Greek: ops], voice). In Hesiod she
was the last of the nine sisters, but yet enjoyed a supremacy over the
others. (See also MUSES, THE.)

CALLIRRHOE, in Greek legend, second daughter of the river-god Achelous
and wife of Alcmaeon (q.v.). At her earnest request her husband induced
Phegeus, king of Psophis in Arcadia, and the father of his first wife
Arsinoe (or Alphesiboea), to hand over to him the necklace and peplus
(robe) of Harmonia (q.v.), that he might dedicate them at Delphi to
