    The problem addressed in this paper consists in finding the invariant Einstein metrics on compact simple Lie groups and their homogeneous spaces. One considers here the groups \(\text{SU}(3)\), \(\text{SO}(5)\) and \(G_2\), and the homogeneous spaces \(\text{SU}(3)/\text{SO}(3)\), \(\text{SO}(5)/\text{U}(1)\), \(\text{SO}(5)/T^2\), \(\text{SO}(5)/\text{SO}(3)\), \(G_2/(\text{SU}(2)\times\text{SU}(2))\), \(G_2/\text{SU}(2)\) and \(G_2/\text{U}(2)\) with respect to various realizations of the corresponding subgroups.
