Aelian fr. 46 Didot (=
Eusebius,
Praeparatio Evangelica 5.35). On
Phalaris, tyrant of
Akragas (in
Sicily) in the C6 BCE, see
phi 43 (where this extract reappears) and generally OCD(4) s.v. (p.1120). He was generally a byword for cruelty, so this episode was noted as being out of character. For the lovers Chariton and Melanippos see under (e.g.)
alpha 2634, and the lavish narrative in
Aelian,
Varia Historia 2.4; also
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 13.602B (13.78 Kaibel).
