Pherenicus

Pherenicus

Pherenicus of Heraclea Pontica , an epic poet of uncertain age, who treated of Metamorphoses and similar fabulous tales. Athenaeus (iii. p. 78, b.) gives a statement from him respect­ing the origin of the fig-tree and other trees ; and Tzetzes (Chil. vii. 144) speaks of him as one of those who treated of the monstrous and fabulous forms of men, and quotes from him two lines re­specting the Hyperboreans (comp. Schol. ad Find. 01. iii. 28.)
