Aemilius Macer
Aemilius Macer of
medieval production by Odo Magdunensis, a French physician.[1]
Aemilius Macer must be distinguished from the Macer called Iliacus in the Ovidian catalogue of poets, the author of an epic poem on the events preceding the opening of the Iliad. The fact of his being addressed by Ovid in one of the epistles Ex Ponto shows that he was alive long after Aemilius Macer. He has been identified with the son or grandson of Theophanes of Mytilene, the intimate friend of Pompey.[1]
