Also, he wrote songs of praise to the gods. His poems were usually about war along with many thoughtful topics. Of his poetry we possess two or three short elegies (Fr. 85 seems from its style and versification to belong to Simonides of Amorgos, or at least not to be the work of our poet), several epigrams and about 90 fragments of lyric and choral poetry.
