Ἀναξανδρίδας ὁ Ἱστορικός
Anaxandridas the Historian
1 work

Anaxandridas the Historian was a Greek author of the 4th century BCE. He is known solely from fragments and later citations, and must be distinguished from the contemporary Athenian comic poet Anaxandrides by his epithet. No details of his origin or life survive.

He is credited with a single, now-lost historical work, transmitted in fragments. Later authors such as Athenaeus cite it, though its specific title is not preserved.

Anaxandridas is a minor figure in Greek historiography. His primary significance is as a source for later compilers like Athenaeus, who quote him for anecdotes and historical particulars. His fragments contribute to the corpus of lost Greek historical writing, and his epithet preserves a record of his scholarly activity separate from the comic poet.
