Cleito'nymus
(
*Kleitw/numos), an historian of uncertain date.
A work of his on Italy and another on Sybaris are quoted by Plutarch. (
Parall. Min. 10, 21.) His
Tragica, also quoted by Plutarch (
de Fluv. 3), Vossius supposes to have been a collection of the legends which formed the ordinary subjects of ancient tragedy; but it has been proposed to substitute
Θρᾳκικῶν for
Τραγικῶν in the passage in question. (Voss.
de Hist. Graec. p. 418, ed. Westermann.)
