There is confusion also about his place of birth, " Megara ", which Plato for example understood to be Megara Hyblaea in Sicily, while a scholiast on Plato cites Didymus for the rival theory that the poet was born in a Megara in Attica, and ventures the opinion that Theognis might have later migrated to the Sicilian Megara ( a similar theory had assigned an Attic birthplace to the Spartan poet Tyrtaeus ).

The existence of the apophorá is contested by Tyrtaeus: " Secondly, though no fixed tribute was imposed on them, they used to bring the half of all the produce of their fields to Sparta .... Like asses worn by their great burdens, bringing of dire necessity to their masters the half of all the fruits the corn-land bears.

His poetry is representative of the genre of martial exhortation elegy in which Tyrtaeus also specialized and which both Archilochus and Mimnermus appear to have composed.
