Szymon Szymonowic
Szymon Szymonowic ( Simon Simonides * 24. October 1558 in Lviv , † 5. May 1629 in Czernięcin ) was a Polish poet of the Renaissance .
The son of the rector of the cathedral school and city council of Lviv, Szymon z Brzezin , studied at the Cracow Academy , where he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1577, then presumably in Belgium and France. After his return to Lviv (before 1584) he devoted himself to pedagogical work and founded the Akademia Zamojska in Zamość with Jan Zamoyski in 1594 . Zamoyski leased him a piece of land in Czernięcin and later entrusted him with the upbringing of his underage son Tomasz.
Szymonowic first emerged as a writer with Latin poems, later also Polish poems such as Rytm po pogromieniu na teraźniejsze rozruchy ( The poem about the current unrest ) and the work Sielanki (1614), which was trained on Theocrites and Virgil's idylls . He also wrote two tragedies in Latin, Castus Joseph (1587) and Pentesilea (1617).
