Medicine, zoology, botany and mineralogy are the themes of
Nicander's two extant poems of the Hellenistic period - "Theriaca"
and "Alexipharmaca." Fragments of other poems also survive,
including some fairly substantial pieces of his "Georgica." His
didactic poetry, along with that of his approximate contemporary
Aratus, had some influence on later poets, notably Virgil and Ovid.
This fully annotated English translation of Nicander's work was
first published in 1953.
