	EPHORUS - LoveToKnow Article on EPHORUS
		It is clear that Ephorus made critical use of the best authorities, and his work, highly praised and much read, was freely drawn upon by Diodorus Siculusf and other compilers.
		Nothing is known of his life, except the statement in Plutarch that he declined to visit the court of Alexander the Great.
		Fragments in C. Muller, Fragmenta historicorum Graecorum, i., with critical introduction on the life and writings of Ephorus; see J. Klugmann, De Ephoro historico (1860); C. Volquardsen, Untersuchungen uber die Quellen der griechischen und sic-ilischen Geschichten bei Diodor.

	Pheidon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He gradually regained sway over the various cities of the Argive confederacy, the members of which had become practically independent, and (in the words of Ephorus) reunited the broken fragments of the inheritance of Temenus.
		Herodotus further states that Pheidon established a system of weights and measures throughout Peloponnesus, to which Ephorus and the Parian Chronicle add that he was the first to coin silver money, and that his mint was at Aegina.
		No such difficulty occurs in regard to the weights and measures; it is generally agreed that a system was already in existence in the time of Pheidon, into which he introduced certain changes.

	Ephorus -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Greek historian, the author of the first universal history, who, despite his defects, was esteemed in classical times and is considered the best of the historians writing in his period.
		According to uncertain tradition, Ephorus was the pupil of Isocrates, whose school rivalled Plato's Academy in fame.
		The 4th-century-BC Greek historian Ephorus attributes to Agis the capture of the city of Helos in Laconia and the reduction of its people to helot (serf) status.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 02.06.19
		It is a fact about Ephorus that he tended to digress at length, often rhetorically anticipating forthcoming narratives; also that he had a penchant for personalities.
		Ephorus obviously wrote of the treaty existing between Persians and Greeks at this time and then went on to comment on the much later and less creditable peace.
		However, 15.26.1 derives from Ephorus, including the statement that in deciding to aid the Thebans in 378 the Athenians "were repaying the obligation for the good deed" the Thebans had done them.

		Ephorus' preoccupation with moral instruction causes him to break his own very sensible rule not to write on the mythological period or subjects for which it was impossible to attain accurate information" (p.141).
		On the basis of Ephorus' failure to provide a more reliable source, P. concludes, "it is possible he was somewhat overzealous in his assigning of virtuous traits in order to strengthen his moral case" (p.128).
		Ephorus' moralizing intentions, however, may not be evident in as many fragments as are discussed in the chapter and may not have guided Ephorus' methodological choices to the extent that is suggested.

		Even the later portions of his history, where Ephorus had such guides as Herodotus, Thucydides, _and Xenophon, contained such discrepancies from his great predecessors, and on points on which they were entitled to credit, that Ephorus, to say the least, cannot be regarded as a sound and safe guide in the study of history.
		465,479, andc.) As regards the style of Ephorus, it is such as might be expected from a disciple of Isocrates: it is clear, lucid, and elaborately polished, but at the same time diffuse and deficient in power and energy, so that Ephorus is by no means equal to his master.
		Of Cumae, called the Younger, was likewise an historian, but he is mentioned only by Suidas, according to whom he wrote a history of Galienus in twenty-seven books, a work on Corinth, one on the Aleuadae, and a few others.

		Indeed, "in a sense, this passage of Ephorus is what I have been working toward all along: beyond the narrative itself, the idea of hegemony as a topos for the historian" (127).[[9]] In W.'s detailed discussion, numerous questions arise.
		Indeed, he claims, "Ephorus comes nowhere near to implying that the 'education' was supposed to be a result of the geography".
		Ephorus also points out that Euboea was so close that it was "almost part of Boeotia".

		In her analysis of Ephorus' History (a lost work of universal history for which we have some 200 fragments out of an original 30 books), P. argues that his "primary purpose" in writing the text "seems to have been the moral instruction of his readers" (p.141).
		Whereas prior commentators (as early as Barber) note Ephorus' concern for "the edification of the reader"[[5]] and the "interest in the general, but primarily ethical, culture of individuals and communities",[[6]] it is P.'s innovation to claim that such concerns cause Ephorus to violate his own historiographical principles.

		Ephorus did write a historical work covering the range of Hellenica Oxyrhynchia, but the problem is that it covers much more: from the return of the Heraclids to 341.
		But, if already Universal History was ready, Ephorus of Cyme might have been ambitious enough to finish (again) the incomplete Thucydides, according to his own viewpoint; and if he decided so (which we of course cannot positively know) he was able to do this by using the appropriate part of Universal History.
		Ephorus of Cyme records the details of the heroical attempt of Hermeias, so in 3 more centuries Diodorus will be able to include them into his work.

		He lay waiting with the whole fleet at the mouth of the river Eurymedon, with no design to fight, but expecting a reinforcement of eighty Phoenician ships on their way from Cyprus.
		However, they did nothing worthy such mighty forces, but immediately turned the prows of their galleys toward the shore, where those that came first threw themselves upon the land, and fled to their army drawn up thereabout, while the rest perished with their vessel or were taken.

		We gather from Ephorus and from later Greek writers that the Celts formed a group of people who occupied most of western Europe from Anatolia to the Atlantic and who were sufficiently similar to be thought of as culturally one people, referring to themselves as Celts.
