Headword:
*(ekatai=os
Adler number: epsilon,360
Translated headword: Hekataios, Hecataeus
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Son of Hegesandros; a Milesian. Born in the time of Dareios -- the king who ruled after Kambyses, when Dionysios of Miletos also lived -- in the sixty-fifth Olympiad.[1] Historian.
Herodotos of
Halikarnassos is indebted to him, being more recent; for he was born after him.[2] And Hekataios was a pupil of
Protagoras.[3] He was the first to express history in prose, whereas
Pherekydes [wrote the first prose] composition [sc. of any sort].[4] For the [works] of Agesilaos are spurious.[5]

[1] 520-516 BCE. For this Dionysios see
delta 1180.
[2] This explanatory phrase is lacking, Adler reports in mss VM.
[3] A chronological impossibility, since
Protagoras lived c.490-420 (
pi 2958). Perhaps Hekataios is being confused here with Hellanikos (as is the case in
epsilon 738), or with Hekataios of
Abdera (
epsilon 359); alternatively, emend '
Protagoras' to
Pythagoras (cf. Adler's apparatus); but see the comments of Jacoby FGrH ad loc.
[4] cf.
phi 214.
[5] Taken to be a mistake, both here and elsewhere (
iota 697,
sigma 1284), for "Akousilaos" (FGrH 2;
alpha 942).
