Anticleides
(
Ἀντικλείδης), of Athens (
Athen. 10.446c.), lived after the time of Alexander the Great (
Plut. Alex. 46), and is frequently referred to by later writers.
Works
Anticleides wrote,
Containing an account of the return of the Greeks from their ancient expeditions. (
Athen. 4.157f., ix. p. 384d., xi. p. 466c.) Anticleides' statement about the Pelasgians, which Strabo (
v. p.221) quotes, is probably taken from the work on the
Νόστοι.
An account of Delos. (Schol.
ad Apoll. Rhod. 1.1207, 1289.)
Appears to have been a sort of Dictionary, in which perhaps an explanation of those words and phrases was given which occurred in the ancient stories. (
Athen. 11.473b. c.) 4.
Περὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου, of which the second book is quoted by Diogenes Laertius. (8.11; comp. Plut.
Alex. l.c.)
All written by the same Anticleides?
Whether these works were all written by Anticleides of Athens, cannot be decided with certainty.
