Hesychius. An Alexandrian grammarian, most likely a pagan, who flourished in the fifth century of our era. Respecting his personal history nothing seems to be known. He has left a Greek Dictionary, partially based on a similar work of Diogenianus. It is now one of the most important sources of our knowledge, not only of the Greek language as such, but of Greek literature as well. It is a real storehouse of information concerning antiquarian knowledge, derived from earlier grammarians and commentators, whose works have been lost. Many of the explanations give important facts about the religion and social life of the ancients. One of the best editions of this work is the one by M. Schmidt (1858-68). A critical ed. with commentary has been published by J. Alberti (Lugd. Bat., 1746-66, 2 vols. fol.).
