In Pompei ,during excavation in 2021 , a mural painting was found , in the "Library house ''depicting the Greek poet from Kythera ,Philoxenus ,as we read in the inscription in greek .The poet is framed by his lyre and a case for papyri
So here is the famous poet ,mainly of dithyrambs, whose books Harpalus sent to Alexander during his campaigns as we read in Plutarch . I think ,that when this interest of Alexander became known ,the poet s fame must have spread rapidly,and reached Pompei ,and so he was immortalized for the delight of the literary owner https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=935438150701279
