Ephorus The Younger
Ephorus or Ephoros ( grc-gre, Ἔφορος; fl. 3rd century AD) of Kyme (Aeolis), Kyme in Aeolis, Aeolia, in Asia Minor, was an Ancient Greece, ancient Greek historian in the Roman Empire during Late Antiquity. He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from Ephorus, his earlier colleague from the same town. Ephorus the Younger is mentioned only by ''Suda'', according to which he wrote a history of Galienus in twenty-seven books, a work on Corinth, one on the Aleuadae, and a few others. The name Galienus in this account, it should be observed, is only a correction of Volaterranus, for the common reading in Suidas is ''Galênou''.Comp. Marx, Ephor. Fragm. p. 7.

The Aeolians regarded Cyme as the largest and most important of their twelve cities, which were located on the coastline of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). As a result of their direct access to the sea, unlike most non-landlocked settlements of the ancient world, trade is believed to have prospered. Location Both the author of the 'life of Homer' and Strabo the ancient geographer, locate Cyme north of the Hermus river on the Asia Minor coastline: After crossing the Hyllus, the distance from Larissa to Cyme was 70 stadia, and from Cyme to Myrina was 40 stadia. (Strabo: 622) Archaeological finds such as coins give reference also to a river, believed to be that of the Hyllus. History Early history Little is known about the ...
