Pindar

Samuel Pepys

Boris Pasternak

Thomas Love Peacock (I don't know his work, but thought his name perfect for this site. )

Sir Thomas Mallory's most famous work is the poem "The Death of Arthur" -- most of the current legend re. King Arthur and the knights of the round table are based on it, however loosely. (Note: yes, I've translated the title from French, cause I do NOT trust my spelling in that language. )
