Hestiaea
Flourished circa 250 B.C., Alexandria, Egypt
Although none of her writings are extant, we know of Hestiaea through the Greek geographer Strabo (64/64 B.C.–circa A.D. 23). She was a literary scholar who wrote a treatise on Homer's Iliad and engaged in debates with other Alexandrian scholars on the geographic location of Troy.
