Nicias of Miletus

Nicias of Miletus (Ancient Greek: Νικίας; 4th–3rd century BC) was an ancient Greek physician, poet and epigrammatist from Miletus. A confidant of Theocritus (see Idylls 11, 13 and 28), he devoted himself to poetry and eight epigrams ascribed to his name survive in a fragmentary state.[1][2][3]
