Anyte of Tegea (fl. c. 300 BC) was a Hellenistic poet from Tegea in Arcadia. Little is known of her life, but 24 epigrams attributed to her are preserved in the Greek Anthology, and one is quoted by Julius Pollux; 19 of these are generally accepted as authentic. She introduced rural themes to the genre, which became a standard theme in Hellenistic epigrams. She is one of the nine outstanding ancient women poets listed by Antipater of Thessalonica in the Palatine Anthology. Her pastoral poetry may have influenced Theocritus, and her works were adapted by several later poets, including Ovid.

“Alive, this man was Manes, a common slave.
Dead, even great Darius is not his peer.”
Anyte

“For her grasshopper, nightingale of the field, and her tree-dwelling
cicada, Myro built a common tomb,
a girl who shed a virgin's tear. For pitiless
Hades left with both her toys.”
Anyte, The Poems of Anyte of Tegea

“Lounge in the shade of the luxuriant laurel's
beautiful foliage. And now drink sweet water
from the cold spring so that your limbs weary
with summer toil will find rest in the west wind.”
