Duris of Samos : ウィキペディア英語版 | Duris of Samos Duris of Samos (; c. 350 BC – after 281 BC) was a Greek historian and was at some period tyrant of Samos. == Personal and political life == Duris claimed to be a descendant of Alcibiades,〔Plutarch, ''Life of Alcibiades'' (32 )〕 and was the brother of Lynceus of Samos. He had a son, Scaeus, who won the boys' boxing at the Olympian Games "while the Samians were in exile",〔Pausanias, ''Guide to Greece'' (6.13.5 ).〕 that is, before 324 BC; from 352 to 324 Samos was occupied by Athenian cleruchs who had expelled the native Samians. Duris therefore may well have been born at some date close to 350 BC, and, since his main historical work ended with the death of Lysimachus in 281 BC, died at an unknown date after that.〔Some modern sources assume that the Olympic victor Scaeus must have been the father, not the son, of the historian Duris; hence he is described in at least two encyclopedias as "son of Scaeus" (Schmitt (); Hazel (()). The ancient sources, admittedly meagre, do not support this.〕 Many 20th century works state that Duris was a pupil of Theophrastus at Athens.〔E.g. Barron (1962); Brink (1960); Kebric (1974), (1977); even as late as Hazel (1999); but not J. G. Frazer (''Pausanias's Description of Greece'' vol. 4 () p. 41), and not von Albrecht (1975).〕 There is no evidence for this claim other than a conjectural emendation (by Adamantios Korais) of the text of the ''Deipnosophistae'' of Athenaeus.〔Dalby (1991). The emendation was published by J. Schweighäuser in 1802 and has been accepted by all subsequent editors of Athenaeus.〕 The manuscript text says not that Duris studied under Theophrastus, but that his brother Lynceus and Lynceus's correspondent Hippolochus did so.〔Athenaeus (128a ); Lynceus is also named as a student of Theophrastus at Athenaeus (100e ) and ''Suda'' s.v. Lynkeus.〕 The only recorded fact about Duris's public life is that he was "tyrant" or sole ruler of Samos.〔Athenaeus (337d ); ''Suda'' s.v. Lynkeus.〕 How he attained this position, for how long he held it, and what events took place under his rule, are unknown.〔"His reign was uneventful", Hazel guesses (()).〕
