Description
Ring Hedyle
Hedyle (4th century BC) was an ancient Greek poet. She is known only through a mention in Athenaeus' Deipnosophistae. According to Athenaeus, Hedyle was the daughter of an Attic poet, Moschine, who is otherwise unknown, and the mother of Hedylus, another poet. Hedyle was probably Athenian, like her mother. The only surviving fragment of Hedyle's poetry consists of two and a half couplets from her elegiac poem Scylla, quoted by Athenaeus. Dunstan Lowe argues that Hedyle's version of the myth of Scylla was the inspiration for the story told in Ovid's Metamorphoses.
Σύμφωνα με τον Αθήναιο, η Ηδύλη ήταν η κόρη της Αθηναίας ποιήτριας Μοσχίνης και μητέρα του Ηδύλου, επίσης ποιητή. Το μοναδικό κομμάτι της ποίησης της Ηδύλης που έχει σωθεί αποτελείται από δυόμισι στροφές από το λυπητερό ποίημα της Σκύλα, το οποίο αναφέρει ο Αθήναιος.
