Nossis

a Greek poetess, of Locri in Southern Italy, lived about B. C. 310.

Works

Twelve Elegies

He is the author of twelve epigrams of considerable beauty, extant in the Greek Anthology. From these we learn that her mother's name was Theuphila, and that she had a daughter called Melinna.

Three of her epigrams were published for the first time by Bentley; and the whole twelve are given by J. C. Wolf, Poetriarum ccto Fragm. &c., Hamb. 1734, by A. Schneider, Poetriarum Graec. Fragm. Giessae, 1802, by Brunck, Anal. vet. Poet. Gr. vol. i., and by Jacobs, Anth. Graec. vol. i.
