CLEOBULINA // POET
“She was an ancient Greek poet. She was known for writing riddles, and three riddles attributed to her survive. Only three riddles attributed to Cleobulina survive. One was clearly well known in antiquity, quoted twice by Aristotle, as well as by Plutarch, Demetrius of Phalerum, and Athenaeus; one survives in quotation by an anonymous philosopher; and the third survives in Plutarch's Moralia.”
