Mymophonus was a scribe from the late Third Era, roughly three hundred years after Empress Katariah's reign. He was a lore writer, however, his work is criticized for not being entirely reliable to the source material. He often took real characters and situations, and distorted them in a way that they lost all meaning. Sometimes he credits himself as Mymophonus the scribe.

One of Mymophonus' earliest books was Ark'ay The God, a story of how the deity himself ascended into godhood. This book, in particular, was made an example of Mymophonus' credibility as a writer, with some calling it "invalidated". Sometime later, he wrote The Armorer's Challenge, which tells the story of Empress Katariah's chosen armorsmith Hazadir, who bested fellow craftsmen, Sirollus Saccus. One of his next books was the Myths of Sheogorath, which was a collection of tales pertaining to the Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath.

Many books from the Third and Fourth Eras such as the Ruminations on the Elder Scrolls written by Septimus Signus and Redguards, Their History and Their Heroes written by Destri Melarg were transported back to the mid-Second Era because of the Gandranen Ruins' magic in Black Marsh. Mymophonus' Myths of Sheogorath was one of these books but another book also penned by him called the Athedorix Conundrums became such a rare text that it was recovered and placed in a collection of other such books in the Library of Dusk, a compound in the daedric plane of Oblivion, Coldharbour. It was a book of nine questions of ill-omen that would drive readers crazy with their answers.
