In ancient Greece, Atthidographers (Ancient Greek: Ἀτθιδογράφος, atthidographos) were local historians of Attica. They wrote histories of Athens called Atthides (singular: Atthis).[1] Atthidography is the best-attested genre of local history from the ancient Greek world,[2] with fragments of more than fifty authors preserved.[3]

The first Atthidographer was Hellanicus of Lesbos,[4] and the first Athenian Atthidographer was Cleidemus.[5] Other Atthidographers include Androtion, Phanodemos, Demon, and Melanthius.[6] The last Atthidographer was Philochorus.[7] The genre in which these authors worked is referred to as Atthidography.
