		Oxyrynchus Papyrus 664 preserves fragments of a philosophical dialogue set in Athens during the tyranny of Pisistratus.
		He connects the statement of the papyrus that Solon was in Ionia at the time of Pisistratus's first tyranny with the tradition that Solon absented himself from Athens after instituting his reforms; and he accepts the argument that Solon's reforms should be dated to the 570's, some twenty years after his archonship.

		Apollodorus of Athens writes of the death of Actaeon in 140 c.e., and Euripedes makes a passing note of his fate in his Bacchae, a drama about the death of Pentheus (once again comparing the two cousins' fates).
		Both Apollodorus and Pausinias (and therefore, Stesichorus) say he is killed because he was another suitor of Semele and Jupiter wanted to remove him as a threat; Euripedes says Actaeon was killed for boasting that his hunting talent was comparable to Diana.
		Neither of these motivations show up in Ovid's version; presumably Ovid chooses to concentrate on the theme of divine retribution, however ill-deserved it may be in the case of Actaeon.
