Androtion

Ἀνδροτίων). A Greek historian, an Athenian, and a pupil of Isocrates, who was accused of making an illegal proposal, and went into banishment at Megara. We still have the speech composed by Demosthenes for one of the accusers. At Megara he wrote a history of Attica (see Atthis) in at least twelve books, one of the best of that class of writings; but only fragments of it have survived.
