About this person
Peisander or Pisander of Laranda was a Greek poet who flourished during the reign of Alexander Severus. He wrote a sixty-book epic called the Heroikai Theogamiai which, like the poetry of his father Nestor of Laranda, appears to have influenced Nonnus' Dionysiaca. Peisander's poem, of which only small fragments survive as quotations in other authors, amounted to "a comprehensive epic on world history". Among the extant fragments, there is mention of Io, Cadmus and the Argonauts, but the most significant fragment is the testimony of Macrobius that states that Peisander's history of the world began from the marriage of Zeus and Hera.
