A shepherdess who contends successfully with Pseustis (falsehood) in the 10th-century book Ecloga Theoduli, a common school text in the Middle Ages. It was written in Latin under the pseudonym "Theodulus."

The poem is an argument/singing contest between Alithia (truth) and Pseustis (falsehood), with Phronesis (reason/wisdom), acting as referee.

She plays the seven-stringed kithara (a type of harp).
