Writer · Writers
Dares Phrygius i.e Dares of Phrygia, according to Homer, was a Trojan priest of Hephaestus. He was later thought to have been the author of an account of the destruction of Troy.
Dares Phrygius is read about 50 times a day, in 24 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 6 November 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 105 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?About this person
A work in Latin, purporting to be a translation of this, and entitled Daretis Phrygii de excidio Troiae historia, was much read in the Middle Ages, and was then ascribed to Cornelius Nepos, who is made to dedicate it to Sallust; but the language better fits a period much later than the time of Nepos.
