CORINNA, surnamed "the Fly," a Greek poetess, born at Tanagra in Boeotia, flourished about 50o B.c. She was the in structress of Pindar, whom she defeated in five poetical contests. According to Pausanias (ix. 22. 3), her success was chiefly due to her beauty, and her use of the local Boeotian dialect. The extant fragments of her poems, dealing chiefly with mythological sub jects, such as the expedition of the Seven against Thebes, will be found in Bergk's Poetae Lyrici Graeci.
