NICOLAUS DAMASCENUS

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 662 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICOLAUS DAMASCENUS , Greek historian and philosopher of Damascus, flourished in the time of
Augustus
  and
Herod
  the
Great
 , with both of whom he was on terms of friendship. He instructed
Herod
  in rhetoric and philosophy, and had attracted the notice of
Augustus
  when he accompanied his patron on a visit to Rome. Later, when Herod's conduct aroused the suspicions of Augustus, Nicolaus was sent on a mission to bring about a reconciliation. He survived Herod, and it was through his influence that the succession was secured for Archelaus; but the date of his death, like that of his
birth
 , is unknown. Fragments of his universal history (`Io-ropta eaOoXtin), from the time of the Assyrian
empire
  to his own days, his autobiography, and his
life
  of Augustus (Dios Kaioapos) have been preserved, chiefly in the extracts of
Constantine
  Porphyrogenitus. Nicolaus also wrote comedies and tragedies, paraphrased and wrote commentaries on parts of
Aristotle
 , and was himself the author of philosophical
treatises
 .
Fragments in C. Muller, Fragmenta historicorum Graecorum, iii.; see also F. Navet, Nikolaus von Damascus (1853), containing an account of his
life
  and writings, and
translation
  of the fragments.
