Nossis

Nossis
Nossis (marble bust by F. Jerace)

Nossis was an ancient Greek woman epigrammist and poet, c. 300 BCE, who lived in Locri. Her epigrams were inspired by Sappho.

Twelve epigrams of hers (one of which is perhaps spurious) survive in the Greek Anthology.

Meleager of Gadara, in his Garland, includes her among the most distinguished Greek singers. Antipater of Thessalonica ranks her among the nine poets who deserved the honor to compete with the Muses.
