Athenocles

(Ἀθηνοκλῆς).

1. The leader of an Athenian colony, who settled at Amisus in Pontus, and called the place Peiraeeus. The date of this event is uncertain. (Strab. xii. p.547.)

2. Of Cyzicus, a commentator upon Homer, who, according to the judgment of Athenaeus (v. p. 177e.), understood the Homeric poems better than Aristarchus. Whether the commentator upon Homer is the same Athenocles who wrote upon the early history of the Assyrians and Medes (Agathias, 2.24), is uncertain.

( Ἀθηνοκλῆς), a celebrated embosser or chaser, mentioned by Athenaeus. (xi. pp. 781, e., 782, b.) [C.P.M]
