Athanadas Explained

Athanadas (grc|Ἀθανάδας) was a writer of ancient Greece. We know from the writer Antoninus Liberalis that he wrote a work on the city of Ambracia, titled Ambrakika (Ἀμβρακικά), but none of his works survive.[1] [2] His time is unknown, but the scholar Felix Jacoby believed he lived around the 3rd century BCE, and was a native of Ambracia.[3] [4] [5]

There was also a probably unrelated man of this name—Athenadas of Rhegium, son of Zopyros—who was a citharode who performed in the Delphic Soteria in 150 BCE.[6] [7]
