A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

(Ἀντίοχος), of SYRACUSE, a son of Xenophanes, is called by Dionysius of Halicarnassus (Ant. Rom. 1.12) a very ancient historian. He lived about the year B. C. 423, and was thus a contemporary of Thucydides and the Peloponnesian war. (Joseph. c. Apion. 1.3.) Respecting his life nothing is known, but his historical works were held in very high esteem by the ancients on account of their accuracy. (Dionys. A. R. 1.73.)
