Pherenicus

Pherenicus (Greek: Φερένικος) was an epic poet from Heraclea Pontica.¹² He treated of Metamorphoses and similar fabulous tales. Athenaeus attributes to him the statement that the daughters of Hamadryas and Oxylus were various hamadryad nymphs, associated with different types of trees.³⁴ Tzetzes speaks of him as one of those who treated of the monstrous and fabulous forms of men,⁵ and quotes from him two lines respecting the Hyperboreans.⁶⁷
