Antiochus of Syracuse

Antiochus of Syracuse

Antiochus of Syracuse, Greek historian, flourished about 420 BC Nothing is known of his life, but his works, of which only fragments remain, enjoyed a high reputation because of their accuracy. He wrote a "History of Sicily" from the earliest times to 424, which was used by Thucydides, and the "Colonizing of Italy", frequently referred to by Strabo and Dionysius of Halicarnassus.
