We must have looked for the wrong word then.

But she will prevail in the end, I can’t argue with the person who’s running the blog, I’m just a guest here!
The historian is Xenophon (Hellenica 6.4.35).

But why is this quiz a victory of Greek history over Roman history? We would actually prefer Roman because we’re not very good in Greek history (as you might have realized)
Could you please tell us which ancient historian called him a robber? We couldn’t find the source.
We’re looking forward to the next quiz!

At last, I can start thinking of a new quiz. By the way, this quiz is nothing less than a victory of Ancient Greek history over Roman History! (Constantina, don’t censor this comment!)

Alexander of Pherai?!

Constantina, I believe it’s time to reveal the answer. Will you tell them?
