Pherenicus (Greek: Φερένικος) was an epic poet from Heraclea Pontica.[1][2] He treated of Metamorphoses and similar fabulous tales. Athenaeus gives a statement from him respecting the origin of the fig-tree and other trees;[3] and Tzetzes speaks of him as one of those who treated of the monstrous and fabulous forms of men,[4] and quotes from him two lines respecting the Hyperboreans.[5][6]
