Biography
Hedyle (Greek: Ἥδυλη, Hḗdylē; fl. 3rd century BC) was an Athenian iambic poet, daughter of Moschine and mother of Hedylus. She wrote a poem entitled Scylla, from which a passage is cited by Athenaeus. Duncan Lowe argues that Hedyle's version of the myth of Scylla was the inspiration for the story told in Ovid's Metamorphoses.
