A'thanas
(
*)Aqa/nas), a Greek historical writer, the author of a work on Sicily, quoted by Plutarch (
Plut. Tim. 23,
37) and Diodorus. (xv.
94.) He is probably the same with Athanis, a writer mentioned by Athenaeus (iii. p. 98), who also wrote a work on Sicily. (Göller,
de Situ, &c. Syracusarwtn, p. 16.)
