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] Aristodama must have lived sometime between 218 and 71 BCE because of how Agetas of Callipolis is mentioned in the Lamia inscription, which refers to Agetas being general of the Aetolians.[1]
