Melinno

（Μελιννώ), a lyric poetess.

Works

Ode to Rome

the author of an ode on Rome in five Sapphic stanzas, which is commonly ascribed to Erinna of Lesbos. Nothing is known of her with certainty, except what the ode itself shows, namely, that she lived in the flourishing period of the Roman empire.

Works

The ode is printed, with an admirable essay upon it, by Welcker, in Creuzer's Melectemata, 1817, p.1, and in Welcker's Kleine Schrifien, vol. ii. p. 160.

[P.S]

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
