Nicarchus or Nicarch was a Greek poet and writer of the 1st century AD, best known for his epigrams, of which forty-two survive under his name in the Greek Anthology, and his satirical poetry. He was a contemporary of, and influence on, the better-known Latin writer Martial. A large proportion of his epigrams are directed against doctors. Some of his writings have been found at Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. A fragment of Nicarchus: The Raven :''The gloom of death is on the raven’s wing,'' :''The song of death is in the raven’s cries:'' :''But when Demophilus begins to sing,'' :''The raven dies.'' ---- Nicarchus is also the name of a character in a play of Aristophanes, ''The Acharnanians.'' Nicarchus was also the name of a Paeonian king, known only from his issuing of a coin. He was perhaps of the late 4th century B.C. ==External links== * (Poems by Nicarchus ) English translations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicarchus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
