Anticlides

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anticlides of Athens (or Anticleides) (Ancient Greek: Ἀντικλείδης) lived after the time of Alexander the Great,[1] and is frequently referred to by later writers. At least four works may be attributed to him; whether these works were all written by Anticlides of Athens cannot be decided with certainty. None survive, except in scanty quotations:

1. Peri Noston was an account of the return of the Greeks from their ancient expeditions.[2] Anticlides' statement about the Pelasgians, which Strabo[3] quotes, is probably taken from the work on the Nostoi.

2. Deliaca, about Delos[4]

3. Exegeticus appears to have been a sort of Dictionary, in which perhaps an explanation of those words and phrases was given which occurred in the ancient stories.[5]

4. On Alexander, of which the second book is quoted by Diogenes Laërtius. [6]
