Timaeus, a Greek historian, was exiled from Sicily by tyrant Agathocles, prompting him to relocate to Athens. In Athens, he immersed himself in scholarly pursuits, particularly in historical writings. His notable work, the 38-part “Histories,” offered valuable insights into different events and cultures.
