A nacre on

(a-nak're-on,) a Greek lyric poet, B. in Ionia, in the 6th cent. B. c., and who lived at Samos and Athens. In his poems he sung chiefly the praises of love and wine, to the enjoyment of which his life would also appear to have been dedicated. Many fragments of his songs are preserved, which are models of delicate grace, simplicity, and ease. [s. 29]
