PRAXILLA , of
Sicyon
 ,
Greek
  lyric poetess, one of the so-called nine " lyric "
Muses
 , flourished about 450 B.C. According to
Athenaeus
  (xv. 694), she was famous as a composer of scolia (short lyrical poems sung after
dinner
 ), which were considered equal to those of
Alcaeus
  and
Anacreon
 . She also wrote dithyrambs and
hymns
 , chiefly on mystic and mythological subjects, genealogies, and the love-stories of the gods and heroes. A dactylic
metre
  was also called by her name.
