Pherecydes of Athens
Pherecydes of Athens, described as an historian and genealogist, wrote an ancient work in ten books, now lost, variously titled "Historiai" or "Genealogicai". He is one of the authors whose fragments were collected in Felix Jacoby's Die Fragmente der griechischen Historiker.
He is generally thought to be different from the sixth-century Pre-Socratic philosopher Pherecydes of Syros, who was sometimes mentioned as one of the Seven Sages of Greece and was reputed to have been the teacher of Pythagoras. Although the Suda considers them separately, he is possibly the same person as Pherecydes of Leros.
