After Sappho, there weren't that
many women writers. There is one, however, that we know a little
about. Her name was Corinna, and though there are different opinions
about when she lived, most scholars agree that she probably lived
in Hellenistic times. I don't have time to go into that era. This
is about the authors, not their time.
She was from Tanagra, Boetica. Some
of her work has survived, which means she was popular and widely
read in ancient times. Her work dealt mostly with Boetician myths.
In the Augustan era her name was synonymous with talent and learning.
