Herodian

Herodian, der letzte beachtenswerthe Geschichtschreiber der Griechen vor der christlich-byzantin. Zeit, soll 170 nach Chr. geb., lange als Beamter in Rom gewesen und um 240 gest. sein. Spät schrieb er in 8 B. die Geschichte von Marc Aurels Tod bis auf Gordian III. Er vergißt zwar ob Kriegen und Herrscherwechseln die innern Zustände, hat aber gesundes Urtheil. Wahrheitsliebe und einen leichten Styl. Erste Ausgabe Venedig 1503, neueste von Osiander, Stuttg. 1830. – Von einem H. Aelius, der ein Sohn des um 160 n. Chr. lebenden scharfsinnigen Grammatikers Apollonius Dyskolus u. selber ein fruchtbarer Grammatiker u. Prosodiker gewesen sein soll, gaben Bekker, Villoison u.a., neuestens Lehrs (Königsberg 1848) Schriften heraus.
