Amelesagoras Explained

Amelesagoras (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἀμελησαγόρας) or Melesagoras (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: 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]
