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..
