Periander of Corinth, one of the Seven Wise Men, who wrote a didactic 
poem, containing moral and political precepts, in 2000 lines ; and, 2. a 
physician and bad poet, contemporary with Archidamas, the son of 
Agesilaiis. It is uncertain to which Phny here refers. 
^ Probably a writer on geography. Nothing appears to be known 
of him. 
2 Of Cyzicus, see end of B. ii. ; of Cnidos, see end of B. iv. 
^ A Grreek historian, who appears, from Plutarch, to have written a 
history of the expeditions of Alexander the Grreat.

' The author of the Periplus, or voyage which he performed round a part 
of Libya, of which we have a Grreek translation from the Punic original. 
His age is not known, but PHny states (B. ii. c. 67, and B. v. c. 1) that 
the voyage was undertaken in the most flourishing days of Carthage. It 
has been considered on the whole, that he may be probably identified 
with Hanno, the son or the father of Hamilcar, who was slain at 
Himera, B.C. 480. 
^ Mentioned also by Pliny, B. ii. c. 67, as having conducted a voyage 
of discovery from Grades towards the north, along the western shores of 
Europe, at the same time that Hanno proceeded on his voyage along the 
western coast of Africa. He is repeatedly quoted by Festus Avienus, in 
his geographical poem called Ora Maritima, His voyage is said to have 
lasted four months, but it is impossible to judge how far it extended. 
^ See end of B. iii, See end of B. iii. See end of B. iL 
^2 A Grreek geographer, and friend of Seleucus Nicator, by whom he 
was sent on an embassy to Sandrocottus, king of the Prasii, whose 
capital was Pahbothra, a town probably in the vicinity of the present 
Patna. Whether he had accompanied Alexander on his invasion of 
India is quite uncertain. He wrote a work on India in four books, to 
which the subsequent Greek writers were chiefly indebted for their 
accounts of India. Arrian speaks highly of him as a writer, but Strabo 
impeaches his veracity j and we find Pliny hinting the same in B. vi. 
c. 21. Of his work only a few fragments survive. 
See end of B. ii. See end of B. iv. 
There was a philosopher of this name, a nephew of Chrysippus, and 
his pupil ; but it is not known whether he is the person referred to, in 
C. 10, either as having written a work on universal geography, or on that 
of Egypt.
