  Musaeus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Musaeus was a mythical seer and priest, the pupil or son of Orpheus, and is said to have been the founder of priestly poetry in Attica.
The second Musaeus was an Ephesian attached to the court of the kings of Pergamon, who wrote a Perseis, and poems on Eumenes and Attalus I (Suidas s.v.).
The third Musaeus (called Grammaticus in all the manuscripts) is of uncertain date, but probably belongs to the beginning of the 6th century, as his style and metre are evidently modelled on those of Nonnus.

We have no explicit information about the poet Musaeus, author of the short epic poem on Hero and Leander, except that he is given in some manuscripts the title Grammatikos, a teacher learned in the rhetoric, poetry and philosophy of his time.

 HF: HVL: Orphic Hymn I — To Mousaios
Hence they will be wholly of the philosophic kind: for they who desire critical and philological information will meet with ample satisfaction in the notes of the learned Gesner, to his excellent edition of the Orphic Remains.
The present Introduction to Musaeus, the son of Orpheus, is, as Gesner observes, a summary of the work, without being servilely confined to the exact number of divinities: and the reader will please to observe through the whole of these Hymns, that the Orphic method of instruction consists in signifying divine concerns by symbols alone.
And here it will be necessary to speak of philosophical mythology; as an accurate conception of its nature will throw a general light on the Hymns, and, I hope, contribute to the dispersion of that gloom in which this sublime subject has been hitherto involved, through the barbarous systems of modern mythologists.
