Ctesias

Ctesias (fl. 5th century BC), also known as Ctesias of Cnidus, was a Greek physician and historian. Cnidus was at that time under Persian Empire. He was present with Artaxerxes Mnemon at the battle of Cunaxa, 401 B.C., and stayed afterwards at the Persian court, where he got the materials for his history, of which only a few fragments are extant.
