Aristodama

Aristodama of Smyrna (c. 218 BC) was an itinerant poet of ancient Ionia.[1][2] None of her works have survived to the present; we know of her only through inscriptions to her found in Lamia and Chaleion.[2] The citizens of those cities granted her and her brother citizenship and other honors in recognition of her skill.[2] Chaleion honored her for creating a poem that narrated the traditions of their ancestors.[3]
