Amelesagoras

Amelesagoras (Ancient Greek: Ἀμελησαγόρας) or Melesagoras (Μελησαγόρας, as he is called by others) of Chalcedon, was an early Greek historian.^[1] The histories of Gorgias and Eudemus of Naxos both borrowed from him.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Maximus Tyrius speaks of a Melesagoras, a native of Eleusis,^[5] and Antigonus of Carystus of an Amelesagoras of Athens,^[6] the latter of whom wrote an account of Attica; these persons are probably the same, and perhaps also the same as Amelesagoras of Chalcedon.^[7]
