Lemercier wrote four long and ambitious epic poems: "Homère", "Alexandre" (1801), "L'Atlantiade ou la théogonie newtonienne" (1812) and "Moïse" (1823), as well as an extraordinary "Panhypocrisiade" (1819–1832), a distinctly romantic production in sixteen cantos, which has the sub-title "Spectacle infernal du XVIe siècle".
