===''Diosemeia''===
The ''Diosemeia'' consists of forecasts of the [[weather]] from astronomical phenomena, with an account of its effects upon animals. It appears to be an imitation of [[Hesiod]], and to have been imitated by [[Virgil]] in some parts of the ''[[Georgics]]''.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}
The materials are said to be taken almost wholly from [[Aristotle]]'s ''Meteorologica'', from the work of [[Theophrastus]], ''On Weather Signs'', and from Hesiod. Nothing is said in either poem about [[Hellenistic astrology]].
