Notes from Source: The Greek poet Simonides who lived between 556-468 BC forwarded interesting analyses of the relations with money and the person’s state of mind. Simonides has been considered as the first poet to write poems for a price and has been invariably accused for desecrating poetry with his greed for money. No existing records can quantify the extent of Simonides’ avarice, but psychoanalysts claim that his greed was rooted in his childhood experiences and enhanced by an analytic mind which had the capacity for recording and associating his interaction with culture.
