MACER, AEMILIUS

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 230 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MACER, AEMILIUS , of Verona, Roman didactic poet, author of two poems, one on birds (Ornithogonia), the other on the
anti
 -dotes against the poison of serpents (Theriaca), imitated from the Greek poet
Nicander
  of
Colophon
 . According to Jerome, he died in 16 n.c. It is possible that he wrote also a botanical
work
 . The extant
hexameter
  poem De viribus (or virtutibus) herbarum, ascribed to
Macer
 , is a medieval production by Odo Magdunensis, a French physician. Aemilius
Macer
  must be distinguished from the Macer called Iliacus in the Ovidian catalogue of poets, the author of an epic poem on the events preceding the opening of the Iliad. The fact of his being addressed by
Ovid
  in one of the epistles Ex Ponto shows that he was' alive
long
  after Aemilius Macer. He had been identified with the son or grandson of
Theophanes
  of Mytilene,'the intimate friend of Pompey.
See
Ovid
 , Tristih,' iv. to, 43; Quintilian, Instit. x. 1, 56, 87; R. Unger, De Macro Nicandei imitators (
Friedland
 , 1845); C. P.
Schulze in Rheinisches Museum (1898), H. p. 541; for Macer Iliacus see Ovid, Ex Ponta, ii: to, 13, iv. 16, 6; Amores, ii. 18.
