Naumachius
Naumachius was a Greek gnomic poet. Of his poems, seventy-three hexameters (in three fragments) are preserved by Stobaeus in his "Florilegium"; they deal mainly with the duty of a good wife. From the remarks on celibacy and the allusion to a mystic marriage it has been conjectured that the author was a Christian. The fragments, translated anonymously into English under the title of "Advice to the Fair Sex" (1736), are in Gaisford's "Poetae minores Graeci", iii (1823).
