{{about|the Greek poet|the king of Sparta|Nicander of Sparta|the Swedish poet|Karl August Nicander|the Welsh bard|Morris Williams}}Nicander of Colophon ({{lang-grc-gre|Νίκανδρος ὁ Κολοφώνιος|Níkandros ho Kolophṓnios}}; fl. 2nd century BC), Greek poet, physician and grammarian, was born at Claros (Ahmetbeyli in modern Turkey), near Colophon, where his family held the hereditary priesthood of Apollo. He flourished under Attalus III of Pergamum.[1]He wrote a number of works both in prose and verse, of which two survive complete. The longest, Theriaca, is a hexameter poem (958 lines) on the nature of venomous animals and the wounds which they inflict. The other, Alexipharmaca, consists of 630 hexameters treating of poisons and their antidotes.[1] Nicander's main source for medical information was the physician Apollodorus of Egypt.{{efn |Apollodorus, physician to a Ptolemy, was "likely enough" the same man as Apollodorus of Alexandria.[2]}} Among his lost works, Heteroeumena was a mythological epic, used by Ovid in the Metamorphoses and epitomized by Antoninus Liberalis; Georgica,[1] of which considerable fragments survive, was perhaps imitated by Virgil.[3] The works of Nicander were praised by Cicero (De oratore, i. 16), imitated by Ovid and Lucan, and frequently quoted by Pliny and other writers[1] (e.g. Tertullian in De Scorpiace, I, 1).
