Dinon de Colophon
Dinon de Colophon is a Greek historian fourth century BC, he is the father of Clitarque of Alexandria.
Native of the Ionian city of Colophon, he is the author of a history of the Perse, the Persiques (in Greek old Περσικά / Persika ), which makes authority during Antiquity on the matter. It takes the continuation of Ctésias, historian of the Persia, whose account appears less reliable than that of Dinon. It would seem that its one period milked work going of the reign of Artaxerxès {{Ier}} with that of Artaxerxès III.
The Persiques are often quoted by Athénée, Elien, Diogène Laërce, Cornélius Népos and Plutarque in the Vie of Artaxerxès (Artaxerxès II) and in the Vie of Thémistocle .
