 Hellanicus of Lesbos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hellanicus of Lesbos (in Ancient Greek Hellanicós) (born in Mytilene on the isle of Lesbos in 490 BC) was an ancient Greek logographer who flourished during the latter half of the 5th century BC.
According to Suidas, he lived for some time at the court of one of the kings of Macedon, and died at Perperene, a town on the gulf of Adramyttium opposite Lesbos.
Hellanicus authored works of chronology, geography, and history, particularly concerning Attica, in which he made a distinction between what he saw as Greek mythology from history.

 Where Troy Once Stood - Trojan War in England
Apart from the islands (and cities) of Tenedos and Lesbos (see Chapter 4), there was ‘Trojan' or ‘Cilician' Thebes (VI,396), sometimes simply referred to as ‘the town of Eëtion' (IX,189) after the father of Hector's wife Andromache.
The isle of Tenedos (I, 38) was called Tanatus by the Romans and today the Isle of Thanet.
Apollo is also surnamed ‘Smintheus' or Sminthean' meaning ‘mouse-god' as it was believed that he could give or deliver from the plague which apparently was supposed to be transmitted by mice instead of rats.
