Diodoros Siculus

Japanese: ディオドロス - でぃおどろす(英語表記)Diodoros Siculus
Diodoros Siculus
A historian from the second half of the 1st century BCE. Dates of birth and death unknown. A Greek from Sicily. Around 60-30 BCE, he wrote 40 volumes of ancient world history entitled "Historical Series." This is a chronological account of the history of the Orient, from the ancient history of the Orient to Caesar's conquest of Gaul, and currently volumes 1-5 and 11-20 are complete, with only fragments of the others remaining. It is valuable in that it includes various historical materials that have been lost today, but the content is commonplace and he is not highly regarded as a historian. [Shinozaki Mitsuo]

前1世紀後半の歴史家。生没年不詳。シチリア島出身のギリシア人。前60‐前30年ころ,《歴史叢書》と題する古代の世界史40巻を著した。これはオリエントの古史からカエサルのガリア征服までを編年体で叙述したものであり,現在1~5巻,11~20巻が完全に,他は断片だけが残る。今日散失した諸史料を含んでいる点では貴重であるが,内容は通俗的で,彼の歴史家としての評価は高くない。【篠崎 三男】
