About this person

Charon of Lampsacus was an Ionian historiographer active in the first half of the 5th century BC, credited with regional histories, a Hellenica, local horoi (chronicles), chronographic lists, and a periplous - all lost and preserved only in fragments and testimonia. The Suda records his patronymic as Pythokles, while Pausanias gives Pythes. Dionysius of Halicarnassus places him among historians earlier than Thucydides and before the Peloponnesian War.
