PARTHENIUS

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 869 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PARTHENIUS , of Nicaea in
Bithynia
 ,
Greek
  grammarian and poet. He was taken prisoner in the Mithradatic War andcarried to Rome (72 B.C.); subsequently he visited Neapolis, where he taught
Virgil
 
Greek
 . Parthenius was a writer of elegies, especially dirges, and of short epic poems. The pseudo-Virgilian Moretum and Ciris were imitated from his MUTTWTOS and Mra,uopolavecs. His'Epcoruat zraOilara is still extant, containing a collection of 36 love-stories which ended unhappily, taken from different historians and poets. As Parthenius generally quotes his authorities, these stories are valuable as affording
information
  on the Alexandrian poets and grammarians.
See E.
Martini
  in Mythographi graeci, vol. ii. (1902, in Teubner
Series
 ); poetical fragments in A.
Meineke
 , Analecta alexandrine (1853).
