Moero

Who is Moero?

Moero or Myro was a poet of the 3rd century BCE from the city of Byzantium.

She was the wife of Andromachus Philologus and the mother of Homerus of Byzantium.

She wrote epic, elegiac, and lyric poetry, but very little has survived. Athenaeus quotes a passage from her epic poem Mnemosyne and two epigrams of hers are included in the Greek Anthology. She also wrote a hymn to Poseidon and a collection of poems called Arai.

Suidas mentions her under the name Myro, and the Myro mentioned by Eustathios is probably the same person.
