Nymphodorus of Syracuse

score:5

There are no surviving works by Nymphodorus Syracusanus. Some fragments were included in C. Müller's Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum, vol. ii (page 375 and onward).

We know of him and of his writing about Drimakos' slave revolt on Chios through an extended quote in Athenaeus; his name is also mentioned by Vitruvius. Müller argues that he may the same person as Nymphodorus of Amphipolis.
