Ephorus
Ephorus of Cyme was a Greek historian of the 4th century BCE, said to have been a pupil of Isocrates. His Histories in 30 books were the first universal history, arranged by subject from the return of the Heracleidae to 340 BCE. The work is lost but was used heavily by later writers such as Diodorus Siculus and Strabo.
