ANTIGONUS OF CARYSTUS (in See also:

Euboea) , See also:Greek writer on various subjects, flourished in the 3rd See also:century B.C. After some See also:time spent at See also:Athens and in travelling, he was summoned to the See also:court of Attalus I. (241–197) of See also:Pergamum. His See also:chief See also:work was the Lives of Philosophers See also:drawn from See also:personal knowledge, of which considerable fragments are preserved in See also:Athenaeus and See also:Diogenes Laertius. We still possess his Collection of W enderful Tales, chiefly extracted from the eauµaaia 'Axco(r ara attributed to See also:Aristotle and the eavµaaua of See also:Callimachus. It is doubtful whether he is identical with the sculptor who, according to See also:Pliny (Nat. Hist. xxxiv. 19), wrote books on his See also:art.

(1877); see Kopke, De Antigono Carystio (1862) ; Wilamowitz-Mi llendorff, " A. von Karystos," in Philologische Untersuchungen, iv. (1881).
