Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Philochorus, of Athens, Greek historian during the 3rd century BC, (d. circa 261 BCE), was a member of a priestly family. He was a seer and interpreter of signs, and a man of considerable influence. He was strongly anti-Macedonian in politics, and a bitter opponent of Demetrius Poliorcetes. When Antigonus Gonatas, the son of the latter, besieged and captured Athens (261), Philochorus was put to death for having supported Ptolemy Philadelphus, who had encouraged the Athenians in their resistance to Macedonia.
