Boios

Ancient Greek author · Writers

Boios (Βοῖος), Latinized Boeus, was a Greek grammarian and mythographer, remembered chiefly as the author of a lost work on the transformations of mythic figures into birds, his Ornithogonia.

Boios is read about 5 times a day, in 6 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 11 October 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 120 days, one point a day.

About this person

Ornithogonia was translated into Latin by Aemilius Macer, a friend of Ovid, who was the author of the most familiar such collections of metamorphoses. In the 2nd century CE, Antoninus Liberalis gave extremely brief summaries of the contents of some of the myths collected in Ornithogonia.
