Pherenicus
Pherenicus was an epic poet from Heraclea Pontica. He treated of Metamorphoses and similar fabulous tales. Athenaeus gives a statement from him respecting the origin of the fig-tree and other trees; and Tzetzes speaks of him as one of those who treated of the monstrous and fabulous forms of men, and quotes from him two lines respecting the Hyperboreans.
