classical poet
Greco-Roman literary figure
A classical poet is a poet from ancient Greece or Rome, or one who writes in the formal, restrained style associated with that tradition.
The term emphasizes adherence to established forms, balance, and clarity over emotional spontaneity: Milton was a classical poet in temperament.
It contrasts with romantic poets, who prized individual expression and feeling.
