Eos and memnon

Ancient Greek historian and genealogist

Pherecydes of Athens (Ancient Greek: Φερεκύδης) (fl. c. BC)^[1] was a Greek mythographer who wrote an ancient work in ten books, now lost, variously titled "Historiai" (Ἱστορίαι) or "Genealogicai" (Γενελογίαι).^[2] He is one of the authors (= FGrHist 3) whose fragments were collected in Felix Jacoby's Die Fragmente der griechischen Historiker.

He is generally thought to be different from the sixth-century Pre-Socratic philosopherPherecydes of Syros, who was sometimes mentioned as one of the Seven Sages of Greece and was reputed to have been the teacher of Pythagoras.^[3] Although the Suda considers them separately, he is possibly the same person as Pherecydes of Leros.^[4]
