Moero
Moero () or Myro () was a woman poet of the Hellenistic period from the city of Byzantium. Little of her poetry survives: ten lines of her epic poem ''Mnemosyne'' are quoted by Athenaeus, and two of her epigrams are preserved in the ''Greek Anthology''; two other poems are known only through mentions in other sources.

Byzantium was colonized by Greeks from Megara in the 7th century BCE and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in 1453 CE. Etymology The etymology of ''Byzantium'' is unknown. It has been suggested that the name is of Thracian origin. It may be derived from the Thracian personal name Byzas which means "he-goat".
