# Pigres of Halicarnassus

> Pigres, was a native of Halicarnassus, and either the brother or the son of Artemisia, satrap of Caria. He is spoken of by the Suda as the author of the Margites and the Batrachomyomachia. The latter poem is also attributed to him by Plutarch and was probably his work. One of his feats was inserting a pentameter line after each hexameter in the Iliad, thus:Μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος.
Μοῦσα· σὺ γὰρ πάσης πείρατ᾽ ἔχεις σοφίης.Sing, goddess, of the ruinous wrath of Achilles, son of Peleus.
Muse, for you possess the means of all wisdom.

*Ancient Greek poet*
