Musaeus

3. An epic poet, a native of Ephesus, who lived probably about the middle of the second century B. C. According to Suidas, he wrote a poem entitled Περσηΐς, in ten books, dedicated to Eumenes and Attalus. What Suidas means by the expression, τῶν εἰς τοὺς Περγαμηνοὺς καὶ αὐτοὺς κύκλους, it is not easy to say.
