Origin of pentere
#11
My friend Romylos.
It does good to the credibility of any ancient writer to be "confirmed" by other contemporaries and ideally by archeology.

Usually Diodoro's account is considered more credible when he uses Eforos as a source. Perhaps not all his work is inaccurate but sertein segemnts are.

Diodorus for instance is the one who claims that Celts sacked Delfi in 279 B.C. but archeology has put all violent distructions of the place after 300 A.D.

Kind regards
