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.
