Template:Short description Pherecydes of Leros (Template:Langx) was, according to the Suda, an ancient Greek historian from the island of Leros. He is said to have lived "before the seventy-fifth Olympiad" (480–477 BC) and authored three works: On Leros (Περὶ Λέρου), On Iphigenia (Περὶ Ἰφιγενείας), and On the Festivals of Dionysus (Περὶ τῶν Διονύσου ἑορτῶν).[1]
Although the Suda treats him as a distinct individual, some scholars believe he may be the same person as Pherecydes of Athens.[2]
