1867, p. 1109: ""Moero, or Myro, a Byzantine poetess, the wife of Andromachus, surnamed
Philologus, and mother of the grammarian and tragic poet, Homerus. She wrote epic, elegeiac

Brill's New Pauly: "Moiro, from Byzantium, Epic, elegiac and melic poet,
mother of the tragedian Homerus [2] (flourished in the years 284/281 BC) and wife of the
otherwise unknown Andromachus, called philólogos (cf. Suda s.v. Μυρώ). Meleager [8] places her
alongside her contemporary Anyte and immediately before Sappho... the only works preserved are
Anth. Pal. 6,119 and 189....We also have 10 hexameters from the Mnēmosýnē (about the childhood
of Zeus)..." Albiani, Maria Grazia (Bologna). "Moiro." Brill's New Pauly. Antiquity volumes
