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.
Nicarchus or Nicarch was one of the generals of the Seleucid king Antiochus III the Great (223–187 BC). He served in Coele-Syria in the war between Antiochus and Ptolemy Philopator (221–203 BC). Together with Theodotus he superintended the siege of Rabbatamana, and with the same general headed the phalanx at the battle of Raphia in 217 BC.
