Observaciones y contexto

Praxilla, Erinna, Myrtis, Anyte, Telesilla, Nossis and Corinna, among others, were famous enough to have statues erected in their honour (Tat. Oratio ad Graecos, 33). Other authors mention these poetesses and others by citing their works or their fame (Eust., Comm. ad Hom. Iliad. B 711, v. 1 - 510.4; Clem. Alex. Strom. IV 19 122 4). 

The amount of poetesses chosen by Antipater is not by chance: there were nine muses and nine male lyrical poets in the canon. Here lies the originality of this feminine "canon" created at the end of the 1st century BC or at the beginning of the 1st century DC.  Unlike the others, this is not a canon based on literary genre, but on the gender of its authors. In that sense, this epigram answers the Alexandrine canon of nine lyrical poets by offering an alternative one formed by authors of the opposite gender, whose works tackled different (literary) genres.
