PHYLARCHUS

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 546 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PHYLARCHUS , a Greek historian, who flourished during the time of
Aratus
 , the
strategus
  of the Achaean League, in the 3rd century B.C. His birthplace is variously given as Athens, Naucratis, or Sicyon. He was probably a native of Naucratis, and subsequently migrated to Athens. He was the author of a history in 28 books, covering the period from the expedition of Pyrrhus king of
Epirus
  to Peloponnesus (272) to the death of the Spartan king Cleomenes (220) after his defeat by Antigonus Doson.
Polybius
  (ii. 56-63) charges him with undue partiality for Cleomenes and unfairness towards
Aratus
 ;
Plutarch
  (Aratus, 38 ), who is of the same
opinion
 , did not hesitate to use him freely in his own
biographies
  of Agis and Cleomenes.
Fragments and
life
  in C. W. Muller, Fragmenta historicorum graecorum, vol. i. (1841); monographs by J. F. Lucht (1836) and C. A. F. Brilckner (1839) ; C.
Wachsmuth
 , Einleitung in das Studium der
alien
  Geschichte (1895).
