Library › Greek: History › Histories (Fragments)
Histories (Fragments) gathers the scant remains of Eudoxus of Rhodes, a Greek historian of whom nothing certain is known beyond these citations. His Histories, which ran to at least nine books, are lost and survive only in two quotations: one in the paradoxographer Apollonius, reporting a Celtic people said to see by night but not by day, and one in the Etymologicum Magnum, explaining the name of the Adriatic Sea and the town of Adria.
Though minimal, these fragments show the interest of Greek historians in the peoples of the western Mediterranean and in the origins of place-names. They also illustrate how much of Greek historical writing survives only through later collections of marvels and lexica.
