Notes:
The first of four authors whom the Suda lists under the name
Palaephatus (and whom Jacoby kept together as FGrH 44, T1-4). One or more of the other three (
pi 70,
pi 71,
pi 72) may refer to the same person; some confusion in the attribution of their works is admitted by the redactor. As for this one, whose origin is obscure and legendary, no further details are known; but cf. Christodorus' epigram describing his statue in the
Gymnasion of Zeuxippus in
Greek Anthology 2.1.36-7.
[1] The idiom is unusual for the Suda; Adler records (but does not adopt) the suggested emendations 'Athenian' and 'from
Athens'.
[2] Boio was a poetess of
Delphi, also known as a prophetess.
Pausanias 10.5.4 records four lines of one of her works. A poem on mythological stories featuring the transformation of persons into birds (
Ornithogonia) is cited by
Athenaeus (
Deipnosophists 9.393E [9.49 Kaibel], following
Philochorus FGrH 328 F214), though he indicates doubt as to whether its author was Boios (male) or Boio.
[3] Like Boio, Phemonoe is known as a prophetess and poetess; the tradition records her as a daughter of Apollo, and (
Pausanias 10.5.7) the first priestess at
Delphi who 'first sang in hexameter verse'.
