Antilochus (historian)

Antilochus (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίλοχος) was a historian of ancient Greece who wrote an account of the Greek philosophers from the time of Pythagoras to the death of Epicurus, whose system he himself adopted.[1] He seems to be the same as the "Antilogus" mentioned by Dionysius of Halicarnassus.[2][3] Theodoret quotes an Antilochus as his authority for placing the tomb of Cecrops I on the acropolis of Athens,[4] but as Clement of Alexandria[5] and Arnobius[6] refer for the same fact to a writer of the name of "Antiochus", there may possibly be an error in Theodoret.
