Boios
Boios (Βοῖος), Latinized Boeus, was a Greek grammarian and mythographer, remembered chiefly as the author of a lost work on the transformations of mythic figures into birds, his Ornithogonia.[1] Ornithogonia was translated into Latin by Aemilius Macer, a friend of Ovid, who was the author of the most familiar such collections of metamorphoses.[2] In the 2nd century CE, Antoninus Liberalis gave extremely brief summaries of the contents of some of the myths collected in Ornithogonia.
Boiai, Latinized Boeae, was a village in Lacedaemon, at the head of the Gulf of Laconia, that, as Pausanias was informed, had been founded by the eponymous Boeus, one of the Heracleidae (Pausanias, iii.22.12).
