A Greek historian around 400 BCE. He lived at the Persian court as the physician to Artaxerxes II, and later wrote about his experiences in the 23 volumes of the Persian History (Persika). Although it no longer exists, later excerpts suggest that it was more of an elegantly written collection of interesting anecdotes than a history book. He is also known to have written the Periodos and the Indika, the first Greek history.
