A third historian of ancient Greece, Xenophon, began his Hellenica where Thucydides ended his work about 411 BC and carried his history to 362 BC.

In fact, there is no trace of this, neither in Thucydides nor in Xenophon both of whom give an account of the history of that conflict ( in History of the Peloponnesian War and in Hellenica respectively ).

Several histories of fourth-century Greece, written in the mold of Thucydides or straying from it, have borne the conventional Latin title Hellenica.

The surviving Hellenica is an important work of the Greek writer Xenophon and one of the principal sources for the final seven years of the Peloponnesian War not covered by Thucydides, and the war's aftermath.

Xenophon adopts a similarly hostile attitude in the early parts of his work, but apparently had a change of heart during the chronological break in composition that divides the second book of the Hellenica ; his portrayal of Theramenes during the reign of the Thirty Tyrants is altogether more favorable than that of his earlier years.

v, and is known as the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia.

The name is a variant of Calchedon (), found on all the coins of Chalcedon as well as in manuscripts of Herodotus's Histories, Xenophon's Hellenica, Arrian's Anabasis, and other works.

The names of the Thirty are listed by Xenophon in his Hellenica 2. 3. 2.

Other sources of this period – Diodorus Siculus 14. 115, 15. 2-9 ; Xenophon, Hellenica 4. 8 – are not as unrestrainedly complimentary.

The ancient Greek writer Theopompus in his work Philippica claimed Hyperborea was once planned to be conquered by a large race of soldiers from another island ( some have claimed this was Atlantis ), the plan though was abandoned because the soldiers from Meropis realized the Hyperboreans were too strong for them and the most blessed of people ; this unusual tale, which some believe was satire or comedy, was preserved by Aelian ( Varia Historia, 3.

Here he became a pupil of Isocrates, and rapidly made great progress in rhetoric ; we are told that Isocrates used to say that Ephorus required the spur but Theopompus the bit ( Cicero, Brutus, 204 ).

Among the exiled were Damasistratus and his son Theopompus, who had received instruction from the school and went on to study with Isocrates in Athens before becoming a historian.

Anaximenes was hostile to Theopompus, whom he sought to discredit with a libelous parody, Trikaranos, published in Theopompus ' style and under his name, attacking Athens, Sparta, and Thebes.

Theopompus was exiled again sometime after Alexander's death and took refuge in Egypt.

Book 12 was a disquisition on the writing of history, citing extensive passages of lost historians, such as Callisthenes and Theopompus.

For Polybius, it was inconceivable that such an able and effective statesman could have had an immoral and unrestrained private life as described by Theopompus.

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

He sought to inspire them in battle by celebrating the example of their grandfathers ' generation, when Messenia was first captured, in the rule of King Theopompus, and he gave practical advice on weapons, armour and tactics ( see for example the verses below ).

Even during the 4th century BC, the idea of the treaty was controversial, and two authors from that period, Callisthenes and Theopompus, appear to reject its existence.

Further, he suggests that Theopompus was actually referring to a treaty that had allegedly been negotiated with Persia in 423 BC.

The ancient historian Theopompus deemed it a fabrication arguing that the inscription of the treaty was a fake – the lettering used hadn't come into practice until half a century after the treaty was purporting to have been agreed.

When King Theopompus, in whose reign the ephors were established, was scolded by his wife for leaving his son less royal power than he had inherited, he replied: " No, it is greater, because it will last longer.

Lycurgus had ordained that the apella must simply accept or reject the proposals submitted to it, and though this regulation fell into neglect, it was practically restored by the law of Theopompus and Polydorus which empowered the kings and elders ( gerousia ) to set aside any " crooked " decision of the people ( Plut.
