Ἀριστοκρέων ὁ ἱστορικός
Aristocreon the Historian
1 work

Aristocreon the Historian was a 5th-century BCE Greek historian of the Classical period. No details of his life survive.

A single work is attributed to him: On the Island of Cyprus. It is preserved only in a brief fragment cited by Athenaeus, which mentions the Cypriot city of Lapethus. His fragment suggests a focus on regional geography or history.

Aristocreon is an obscure figure, significant only as a representative of minor local historians whose works are now lost. He appears in modern catalogs of fragmentary Greek historians but is not a subject of independent study.
