On Fragments of Three Historians

Authors

  • George Huxley

Abstract

(1) The father of the historian Antiochus of Syracuse was a Xenophanes (so Pausanias): this may have been the philosopher, who spent time in the west, and one of Antiochus’ sources. (2) The earliest reference to the decree of Themistocles is by Plutarch, drawing on Cleidemus, who with his pro-democratic views may have been the forger of the decree.
