Duris Samius

Duris Samius (Graece Δοῦρις ὁ Σάμιος), saeculo IV a.C.n. natus in insula Samo Graeciae, fuit rerum gestarum scriptor, tyrannus Sami, et frater Lyncei. Historicus dubiae fidei iudicabatur qui patheticum in rebus gestis augebat dum atrocia supplicia narrat. Ita Plutarchus eius testimonium de Periclis crudelitate erga Samios anno 439 a.C.n. reiciebat
