Cephalion (Greek: Κεφαλίων) was a Roman historian of the time of Hadrian. He wrote a History of Assyria from the time of Ninus and Semiramis to that of Alexander the Great. It was written in the Ionic dialect, and was divided into nine books, called by the names of the Muses; and as in this he aped Herodotus, so he is reported to have aimed at resembling Homer by concealing his birthplace. Hadrian banished him to Sicily where this work was composed.

  • Cefalió (en llatí Cephalion, en grec antic Κεφαλίων o Κεφαλαίων), fou un historiador grec del temps de l'emperador Adrià. Va escriure entre altres obres una σύντομον ἱστορικόν, una història abreujada que anava des de Ninus, fundador de Nínive i Semíramis fins al temps d'Alexandre el Gran. Estava escrit en dialecte jònic i el va dividir en nou llibres, cadascun dels quals portava el nom d'una Musa, segons Foci, cosa que recull Suides. El llibre volia imitar Herodot, i Foci, que diu que era un erudit, l'acusa de voler assemblar-se a Homer amagant el lloc del seu naixement. Adrià el va desterrar a Sicília on va escriure aquesta obra. Eusebi de Cesarea i Jordi Sincel·le el mencionen. (ca)
