| Kassia (also Kassiane, Kassiani, Casia; 810 - bef.867) was a Greek-Byzantine poet, composer, and hymnographer. She is one of the first ancient composers whose scores are both extant and able to be interpreted by modern scholars and musicians. Approximately fifty of her pieces are extant. She was born in 810 in Constantinople into an aristocratic family. About 843 she founded a convent and became its first abbess. One of her pieces was so well known in her time that it was in the Chronicles of medieval Byzantium.
