Phlegon of Tralles

Phlegon was a pagan Greek writer and freedman of the emperor Hadrian. His primary work was the Olympiads, a historical compendium in sixteen books written in the second century CE, from the 1st to the 229th Olympiad (776 BC to AD 137). No longer extant, several chapters are preserved in Chronicon by Eusebius, Chronographia by George Syncellus, and Photius.
