Cleobulina (Κλεοβουλίνη) or Cleobuline (Flourished c. 550 BC Lindos, Rhodes) was an ancient Greek poet. Her father was Cleobulus, who was one of the Seven Sages of Greece. She wrote poetry in hexameter verse and was particularly skilled in writing riddles [1] or enigmas.[2]
Aristotle quotes Cleobulina of Rhodes in both his Poetics and the Rhetoric.[3] She was sufficiently well-known to be satirized in a play by the comic dramatist Cratinus.[4]
