Atthidographer (,
atthidographos) is the name given to a historian who wrote an
Atthis, a work on the
history of Athens. The first
Athenian to attempt this kind of history was
Kleidemos. He was then followed by
Androtion, Phanodemos, Demon, and Melanthios. The last Atthidographer was
Philochorus. The genre in which these authors worked is referred to as Atthidography.
