Atthis (Philochorus)
The Atthis of Philochorus was a local history of Attica and Athens. The full text of the Atthis, which extended to 17 books, has been lost, but the surviving fragments (mostly from the first seven books) give a good idea of its format. Philochorus covered the whole of Athenian history, from the earliest legendary times down to the capture of Athens by the Macedonians in 261 BC, which happened shortly before his death. The large number of references to it by other ancient writers shows how influential the work was.[1]
Notes
gollark: I mean, school is expensive, computers are... £200 or so for a very basic one?
gollark: Replying to https://discord.com/channels/346530916832903169/348702212110680064/747839510280405092This is somewhat bad. Although I imagine sending people computers would be cheaper than running school.
gollark: Okay, that might not be the reason.
gollark: Boris Johnson is insisting that it's critically vital and important that everyone go to school as normal, because he is an incompetent apioid.
gollark: Yes. It was (is, I guess, I don't have school yet) so horrible being able to get up at reasonable times, work in a pleasant environment, and not have to commute.
