An extract from the main entry on
Anacharsis (
alpha 2130). The headword, part of it, is accusative singular.
Anacharsis is an important character in Book 4 of
Herodotus' History;
Croesus, tyrant of
Lydia, is important throughout
Herodotus.
Anacharsis earns his fame by attempting to introduce Greek customs into Scythia, and eventually dies for it. The story of
Anacharsis' inventions, however, is not found elsewhere.
