AENEAS TACTICUS (4th century B.C.)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 257 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AENEAS TACTICUS (4th century B.C.) , one of the earliest Greek writers on the art of war. According to Aelianus Tacticus and
Polybius
 , he wrote a number of treatises (`T7royinjua-ra) on the subject; the only one extant deals with the best methods of defending a fortified city. An epitome of the whole was made by Cineas, minister of Pyrrhus, king of Epirus. The
work
  is chiefly valuable as containing a large number of historical illustrations. Aeneas was considered by Casaubon to have been a contemporary of Xenophon and identical with the Arcadian general Aeneas of Stymphalus, whom Xenophon (Hellenica, vii. 3) mentions as fighting at the battle of Mantinea (362 B.c.).
Editions in I. Casaubon's (1619), Gronovius' (167o) and Ernesti's (1763) editions of
Polybius
 ; also separately, with notes, by J. C.
Orelli
  (
Leipzig
 , 1818). Other texts are those of W. Rustow and H. Kochly (Griechische Kriegsschri tsteller, vol. i.
Leipzig
 , 1853) and A. Hug, Prolegomena Critica Aeneae . editionem (Zurich. University, 1874). See also
