(Μόσχος).
1. A grammarian and bucolic poet, a native of Syracuse. He lived about the close of the third century B. C., and, according to Suidas (s. v. Μόσχος), was acquainted with Aristarchus. He calls himself a pupil of Bion, in the Idyl in which he bewails the death of the latter [BION]. But it is difficult to say whether he means more than that he imitated Bion. Of his personal history we know nothing further.
