Author Description

Excerpt from The Hellenica Oxyrhynchia: Its Authorship and Authority Since the delivery of these lectures, two further cone tributions to the literature of the controversy have come to hand. The first of these is the first half of a paper by Professor L. Pareti, of Florence, entitled Cratippo e le Elleniche oli Owyrhynchos, which appeared in vol. Xix of the Studz' italiani di Filologz'a 01003873c He comes to the conclusion that Cratippus was an Athenian, who wrote in the first half of the fourth century that P. Wrote between 371 and 356, that he began in the Decelean War at least, and that his work was not a mere continuation of Thucydides. The starting-point of the é'rog 6'y8oov he puts in the autumn of 403. He accepts the current assumptions as to the scale and method of Ephorus, and he subscribes to the objections which have been urged against theopompus. Both the general results at which he arrives, and the arguments by which these results are reached, do not appear to differ materially from the results and the arguments of my article in Klio.
