Myia

(Μυῖα).

1. Daughter of Pythagoras and Theano (Porphyr. p. 3; Clemens Alex. Strom. iv. p. 522; Suidas), was, according to Iamblichus, the wife of Milon of Crotona. A letter, addressed to a certain Phyllis, is extant under her name. (Lucian, Muscae Enc. extr.; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. i. pp. 883, 886.)

2. A Spartan poetess, who composed hymns to Apollo and Diana (Suidas, s. v.). Lucian (Muscae Enc. extr.) mentions an ancient poetess of the name, celebrated for her beauty and learning, but whether he refers to the Spartan poetess or not, is uncertain.

3. A Thespian poetess, who wrote some lyrical poems (Suidas, s. v.). She is probably the same with Corinna [Corinna], who bore that surname. [C.P.M]
