Stromata
Greek historian cited on the Hyperboreans and on Atossa's invention of letters.
And Hellanicus relates that the Hyperboreans dwell beyond the Rhipaean mountains, and are taught righteousness, not eating flesh but using acorns and the like;
And Hellanicus says that Atossa, who reigned over the Persians, was the first to compose letters.
Hellanicus, at any rate, relates that he lived in the time of Midas, while Phanias, setting Lesches the Lesbian before Terpander, makes Terpander younger than Archilochus, and says Lesches contended with Arctinus and conquered.
History of the Peloponnesian War
Earlier Greek historian, author of an Attic history (Atthis), mentioned by Thucydides as having covered this period only briefly and inaccurately.
and Hellanicus, who did touch on them in his Attic history, mentioned them but briefly, and not accurately with regard to their chronology.
