Momus (; Ancient Greek: Μῶμος Momos'') in Greek mythology was the personification of satire and mockery, two stories about whom figure among Aesop's Fables. During the Renaissance, several literary works used him as a mouthpiece for their criticism of tyranny, while others later made him a critic of contemporary society. Onstage he finally became the figure of harmless fun. Today, celebrations of Momus survive in the Momoeria New Year's festivals of Northern Greece.
