Parthenius of Nicaea or Myrlea in Bithynia ((ギリシア語:Παρθένιος)) was a Greek grammarian and poet. According to the ''Suda'', he was the son of Heraclides and Eudora, or according to Hermippus of Berytus, his mother's name was Tetha.〔Suda, ''Parthenius''. Cf. J. L. Lightfoot, (1999), ''Parthenius of Nicaea: the poetical fragments and the Erotika pathemata'', page 9. Oxford University Press〕 He was taken prisoner by Helvius Cinna in the Mithridatic Wars and carried to Rome in 72 BC. He subsequently visited Neapolis, where he taught Greek to Virgil, according to Macrobius.〔Macrobius, ''Sat.'' v. 18.〕 Parthenius is said to have lived until the accession of Tiberius in 14 AD. Parthenius was a writer of elegies, especially dirges, and of short epic poems. He is sometimes called "the last of the Alexandrians". ==''Erotica Pathemata''== His only surviving work, the ''Erotica Pathemata'' (, ''Of the Sorrows of Love''), was set out, the poet says in his preface, "in the shortest possible form" and dedicated to the poet Cornelius Gallus, as "a storehouse from which to draw material". ''Erotica Pathemata'' is a collection of thirty-six epitomes of love-stories, all of which have tragic or sentimental endings, taken from histories and historicised fictions as well as poetry. As Parthenius generally quotes his authorities, these stories are valuable as affording information on the Alexandrian poets and grammarians. 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「Parthenius of Nicaea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
