Musaeus Grammaticus probably belongs to the beginning of the 6th century AD, as his style and metre are evidently modeled on those of Nonnus. He lived before Agathias (530-582) and has been identified with a correspondent of Procopius of Gaza.

About this person

Musaeus Grammaticus probably belongs to the beginning of the 6th century AD, as his style and metre are evidently modeled on those of Nonnus. He lived before Agathias (530-582) and has been identified with a correspondent of Procopius of Gaza. His poem on the story of Hero and Leander is considered the most beautiful of the age. The little love-poem Alpheus and Arethusa is also ascribed to Musaeus.
