As for the exact day Ephorus gives 23 / 24 Thargelion ( May 6 or 7 ), Hellanicus 12 Thargelion ( May 26 ) while others give the 23rd of Sciroforion ( July 7 ) or the 23rd of Ponamos ( October 7 ).

Theramenes also appears in several ancient narrative histories: Thucydides ' account includes the beginnings of Theramenes ' career, and Xenophon, picking up where Thucydides left off, gives a detailed account of several episodes from Theramenes career ; Diodorus Siculus, probably drawing his account from Ephorus at most points, provides another account that varies widely from Xenophon's at several points.

The Sicilian historian Diodorus Siculus, writing in the 1st century BC in his Bibliotheca Historica, also provides an account of the Greco-Persian wars, partially derived from the earlier Greek historian Ephorus.

Ephorus made Homer a younger cousin of Hesiod, Herodotus ( Histories, 2. 53 ) evidently considered them near-contemporaries, and the 4th century BC sophist Alcidamas in his work Mouseion even brought them together for an imagined poetic agon, which survives today as the Contest of Homer and Hesiod.

Ephorus or Ephoros (, c. 400 – 330 BC ), of Cyme

The Sicilian historian Diodorus Siculus, writing in the 1st century BC in his Bibliotheca Historica, also provides an account of the Battle of Mykale, derived directly from the earlier Greek historian Ephorus.

Plutarch puts the number of the Thebans at 300, and acknowledges three sources for the number of Spartans: 1000 by the account of Ephorus ; 1, 400 by Callisthenes ( c. 360 – 328 BC ); or 1, 800 by Polybius ( c. 200 – 118 BC ).

Works by authors like Anaximenes of Lampsacus, Aristoxenus, Callisthenes, Daimachus, Dinarchus, and Ephorus are believed to have been written between 330 to 310 BC.

Diodorus was probably following the history of Ephorus at this point, who in turn was presumably influenced by his teacher Isocrates — from whom there is the earliest reference to the supposed peace, in 380 BC.

An extremely bright comet seen by Aristotle and Ephorus in 371 BC is a possible candidate for this parent comet.

One possible candidate for the grandparent is a comet observed by Aristotle and Ephorus in 371 BC.

* there was a bridge before 334 BC because, as per Strabo, on the one side Ephorus wrote that the strait is so narrow that it was spanned by a bridge only two plethra long ( IX. 2. 2 ), and on the other side the people of Chalkis built towers, doors and high walls at the bridgehead the year Alexander the Great passed over to Asia ( X. 1. 8 ).

All ancient writers agree in representing Naxos as the most ancient of all the Greek colonies in Sicily ; it was founded the year before Syracusae, or 735 BC, by a body of colonists from Chalcis in Euboea, with whom there was mingled, according to Ephorus, a certain number of Ionians.

Identified authors on whose works he drew include Hecataeus of Abdera, Ctesias of Cnidus, Ephorus, Theopompus, Hieronymus of Cardia, Duris of Samos, Diyllus, Philistus, Timaeus, Polybius, and Posidonius.

The work was based upon the writings of Greek historians, such as Theopompus ( whose Philippica may have suggested Trogus ' subject ), Ephorus, Timaeus, Polybius.

Herodotus further states that Pheidon established a system of weights and measures throughout Peloponnesus, to which Ephorus and the Parian Chronicle add that he was the first to coin silver money, and that his mint was at Aegina.

Herodotus, who does not mention the Pisidians, enumerates the Pamphylians among the nations of Asia Minor, while Ephorus mentions them both, correctly including the one among the nations on the coast, the other among those of the interior.

Herodotus, who does not mention the Pisidians, enumerates the Pamphylians among the nations of Asia Minor, while Ephorus mentions them both, correctly including the one among the nations on the interior, the other among those of the coast.

It is usually stated on the authority of Ephorus, that Pheidon of Argos established a mint in Aegina.

Both Ephorus and Plutarch ( in his Banquet of the Seven Sages ) substituted Anacharsis for Myson.

Another account, probably from Sophaenetus of Stymphalus, was used by Ephorus.

It is thought to have been observed by Aristotle and Ephorus during this year.

Diodorus Siculus, a compiler of histories in the time of Augustus, presents a generally favorable account of Theramenes, which appears to be drawn from the noted historian Ephorus, who studied in Athens under Isocrates who was taught by Theramenes.

Probably born at Colophon in Ionia, he first studied under Ephorus of Ephesus, but after he had attained some celebrity he became a student to Pamphilus at Sicyon He thus combined the Dorian thoroughness with the Ionic grace.

Contemporary authors propose alternative theories: according to Antiochus of Syracuse, helots were the Lacedaemonians who did not participate in the Messenian Wars ; for Ephorus of Cyme, they were the perioeci (" dwellers in surrounding communities ") from Helos, reduced to slavery after a failed revolt.

Diodorus Siculus ( XI, 63, 4 – 64, 1 ), probably influenced by Ephorus of Cyme, attributed the uprising equally to the Messenians and the helots.

An account of the battle was mentioned both by Diodorus and Plutarch, both based heavily on the report by Ephorus.

Diodorus puts the number of Thebans at 500 against the Spartan's 1000 ( each mora consisting of 500 men ), apparently basing it on Ephorus ' original figures.

It is believed to be mostly based on the works of the Sacred Band contemporaries Callisthenes and Ephorus.

He also blames Ephorus and Callisthenes ( particularly the latter ) for embellishments on the roles of the Sacred Band in the battles of Tegyra, Leuctra, and Chaeronea ; pointing out that the two have been ridiculed by other ancient scholars for their poor grasp of military affairs.

The account which Herodotus gives of the hostilities between the two states in the early years of the 5th century BC is to the following effect.

The Ubaid culture gives way to the Uruk period from c. 4000 BC.

Besides Zarathushtra's Gathas, Plato gives the earliest surviving account of a " natural theology ", around 360 BC, in his dialogue " Timaeus " he states " Now the whole Heaven, or Cosmos, ... we must first investigate concerning it that primary question which has to be investigated at the outset in every case ,— namely, whether it has existed always, having no beginning of generation, or whether it has come into existence, having begun from some beginning ".

In the seventh century BC, Hesiod, both in his Theogony ( briefly, without naming Pandora outright, line 570 ) and in Works and Days, gives the earliest literary version of the Pandora story ; however, there is an older mention of jars or urns containing blessings and evils bestowed upon mankind in Homer's Iliad:

* 445 BC: Artaxerxes I gives Nehemiah permission to rebuild Jerusalem.

* 407 BC: The Athenian fleet is routed by the Spartan one in the Battle of Notium, which gives Alcibiades ' opponents a reason to strip him of command.

24 AD ), who was born in Pontus on the Black Sea, but was also working with Persian sources, to judge from the forms he gives to tribal names, mentions Aorsi that he links with Siraces and claims that a Spadines, king of the Aorsi, could assemble two hundred thousand mounted archers in the mid-1st century BC.

Man seems to have inhabited the island already in 5000 BC, though a local legend gives the eponymous name " Liparus " to the leader of a people coming from Campania.

The most complete ancient Egyptian account of the myth is the Great Hymn to Osiris, an inscription from the Eighteenth Dynasty ( c. 1550 – 1292 BC ) that gives the general outline of the entire story but includes little detail.

Herodotus gives an account of such an event as an ill omen of Xerxes ' conquest of Greece in 480 BC:

After 200 BC at any given time there were two priests of Apollo, who were in charge of the entire sanctuary ; Plutarch, who served as a priest during the late first century and early second century AD, gives us the most information about the organization of the oracle at that time.

( Donald Redford, while not disputing the location of Goshen, gives a different origin for the name, deriving it from " Gasmu ," the rulers of the Bedouin Qedarites who occupied the eastern Delta from the 7th century BC, but John Van Seters thinks this unlikely ).

The Archaic period gives way to the Classical period around 500 BC, in turn succeeded by the Hellenistic period at the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC.
