Pindar and the Poetics of Repatriation in the 4th Pythian
Despite containing one of the only explicit repatriation pleas in classical Greek literature, Pindar’s Fourth Pythian ode has received little attention as an example of repatriation rhetoric and negotiation. Taking the plea seriously, this article considers the work the poem’s structure and contents exert to achieve the exile’s return and how they relate to its concluding plea. It argues that not only do the poem’s constituent parts form a cogent…
Alkimos
Alkimos ( FGrH 560) was a Sicilian rhetorician and historian during the first half of the fourth century bce . The fragments show an interest in Plato's dialogues, local Sicilian customs, and animals.

Akousilaos
Akousilaos of Argos was an important mythographer from the late sixth to early fifth century bce . His Genealogies spanned the period from creation myths to at least the foundation of the major cities. His work became a standard text for discussion of myth at least by Plato's time.
Charon of Lampsakos
Charon of Lampsakos was an important early Greek historian of the late sixth or early fifth century bce . His numerous works covered a wide range of topics. Perhaps most importantly, he is frequently cited as the earliest historian of the Greco‐Persian Wars and commonly put in comparison with Herodotus of Halicarnassus.

Alexander's Ephemerides
Alexander's Ephemerides were a text of Alexander the Great's daily exploits compiled by Eumenes of Kardia and Diodotos of Erythrai. The authenticity of the fragments we possess, coming from later Alexander historians, has been variously disputed with no clear consensus reached.
Alexarchos
Alexarchos is an author of dubious provenance. His only citation in Pseudo‐Plutarch has cast doubt on his authenticity.
Aiskhylos of Alexandria

Agathon of Samos ( FGrH 843)
Agathon ( FGrH 843) was a Greek historian of uncertain date. His work predates the first century ce . He demonstrates considerable interest in geography and mythography and has a particularly strong interest in the history of his home, Samos, and Scythia.
Agroitas ( FrGH 762)
The article concerns Agroitas, a little‐known fragmentary Greek historian who was active before the first century bce .
Aglaosthenes ( FGrH 499)

Agias and Derkylos ( FGrH 305)
Agias and Derkylos ( FGrH 305) are two ancient Greek historians of uncertain date, likely dated to the fourth or third centuries ce . Their extensive interest in mythography of the Argolid made them a natural choice for Hellenistic historians and poets looking to include early mythographic entities in their work.
Agesilaos ( FGrH 828)
