Brill's New Pauly: "Moschus, Poet from Syracuse, 2nd cent. BC,According
to the Suda s.v. M., a pupil of Aristarchus [4], but this may only mean that he was part of
the generation after Aristarchus and hence lived in the middle of the 2nd cent. BC...
Surviving works are the epyllion ‘Europa, for which his authorship was already famous in
antiquity ...and other hexametric texts: the epyllion ‘Eros the Runaway (Ἔρως δραπέτης,
Anth. Pal. 9,440) and three citations, each of about 10 verses in length, which according to
Stobaeus are from a collection with the title Boukoliká, and could represent fragments of
either long poems or shorter ones forming a complete unit...." Fantuzzi, Marco (Florence).
