Son of Skopelinos, a Theban. He also was a lyric poet, cousin of the earlier one.

Πίνδαρος, Σκοπελίνου, Θηβαῖος, καὶ αὐτὸς λυρικός, ἀνεψιὸς τοῦ προτέρου.

Notes

For the famous Pindar see pi 1617 (and pi 1618). This alleged cousin of his is probably a phantom.
See M.R. Lefkowitz, The Lives of the Greek Poets (London 1981) 62.
