Athanas of Syracuse

Athanas (Ancient Greek: Ἀθάνας, fl. 4th century BCE) of Syracuse was a historical writer who wrote a work on Sicily and Dion of Syracuse that continued the history of Philistus, and was quoted respectfully by the historians Plutarch and Diodorus Siculus.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

He is probably the same as the writer named "Athanis" mentioned by the grammarian Athenaeus who also wrote a work on Sicily.^[6][7]
