Who is Naumachius?
Naumachius was a Greek gnomic poet.
Of his poems, seventy-three hexameters are preserved by Stobaeus in his Florilegium; they deal mainly with the duty of a good wife. From the remarks on celibacy and the allusion to a mystic marriage it has been conjectured that the author was a Christian.
The fragments, translated anonymously into English under the title of Advice to the Fair Sex, are in Gaisford's Poetae minores Graeci, iii.
