Theseus

Name(s):
  • Theseus (Θησεύς, Thēseus)
Date:
1st-3rd c.?

Remarks:
No source specifies when Theseus lived. Jacoby (FGrHist 453, komm. 303) links the History of Corinth mentioned by the Suda to the Greek journey of the emperor Nero (67), whereas Corcella (1996: 265) and Radicke (1999: 244) propose to relate Theseus to the Second Sophistic (2nd and 3rd c.). Janiszewski (2006: 165-171) suggests to date his works to the second half of the 3rd c.
