Asclepiades of Cyprus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asclepiades (Ancient Greek: Ἀσκληπιάδης) of Cyprus was a historian of ancient Greece, who wrote a work on the history of his native island and Phoenicia, of which a fragment is preserved by the philosopher Porphyry.[1][2] Some scholars have suggested that he was Phoenician instead of Cyprian.[3] He also wrote about Alexander the Great. He may have lived in or around the 3rd century BCE.[4]
