Ephorus or Ephoros (c. 400-330 BC), of Cyme in Aeolia, in Asia Minor, was an ancient Greek historian.
The fruit of his labours was a set of 29 books, his universal history. The whole work, edited by his son Demophilus - who added a 30th book - contained a summary description of the Sacred War, along with other narratives from the days of the Heraclids up until the taking of Perinthus in 340 BC by Philip of Macedon, covering a time span of more than seven hundred years.
