He resided at the courts of Antigonus II Gonatas, king of Macedonia, and Antiochus I of Syria. The Phaenomena, a didactic poem in hexameters, is his only completely extant work. Lines 1 - 757 versify a prose work on astronomy by Eudoxus of Cnidus (c. 390 - c. 340), while lines 758 - 1154 treat of weather signs
