Abstract

Analysis of Polyaen. 5.2.20-22, three stratagems ascribed to Dionysius I of Syracuse: the source of the first passage appears to be Aeneas Tacticus, while the other two can be traced back to Greek works, historical or not, of the 4th century BC. This shows that the widespread opinion about Polyaenus allegedly drawing on late, historically irrelevant authors is not so well founded as it once seemed to be.
