Hieronymos of Kardia (original) (raw)

Not much is known about the life and works of Hieronymos of Kardia, a diplomat and army officer in the early Hellenistic period. His historical writings on the Successors, mainly covering events from 323 to approximately 262/1 BCE, are known through limited fragments and testimonies. Current understanding suggests he incorporated a mix of perspectives, although some evidence implies a favorable bias toward Antigonos. Hieronymos’s influence extends to many historical sources, despite the biased accounts and the uncertainty surrounding his direct impact.
