PANOPOLIS (Ancient city) EGYPT
(Nonnos). A Greek poet of Panopolis, in Egypt, belonging to
the fifth century A.D. As a pagan, he wrote, with poetic talent and in a spirited
though highly rhetorical style, a vast epic, called the Dionysiaca (Dionusiaka)
or Bassarica (Bassarika), in forty-eight books, one of the chief sources of our
knowledge of the Dionysiac cycle of legends. After becoming a Christian, he composed
a paraphrase of the gospel of St. John in Greek hexameters.
