Fragments

Corinna · c. 500 BC (date disputed; some scholars place her in the 3rd century BC) · Tanagra (Greece) · poetry

A Boeotian poet who, in the ancient tradition, bested Pindar in competition, Corinna composed local mythological narratives in the Boeotian dialect, though the papyri that preserve her have led some modern scholars to date her centuries later than the tradition claims.
