Pherecydes of Leros
Pherecydes of Leros () was, according to the Suda, an ancient Greek historian from the island of Leros, who lived "before the seventy-fifth Olympiad" (480–477 BC), and wrote three works: On Leros (Περὶ Λέρου), On Iphigenia (Περὶ Ἰφιγενείας), and On the Festivals of Dionysus (Περὶ τῶν Διονύσου ἑορτῶν). Although, the Suda considers them separately, he is possibly the same person as Pherecydes of Athens.
