Praxilla's predecessor was the great poet Sappho of Lesbos and her contemporary was Telesilla of Argos. All of them are important representatives of female lyric poetry of the archaic era. From later times, ranging from the 4th century until the Hellenistic and Roman times, are other poets such as Erinna of Telos, Anyte of Tegea, Moero of Byzantium, Nossis, Aristodama of Smyrna or Melinno.
