MENANDER OF EPHESUS°

MENANDER OF EPHESUS°
MENANDER OF EPHESUS° (possibly second century B.C.E.) is probably identical with Menander of Pergamum quoted by Clement of Alexandria (Stromateis 1:114) as stating that "Hiram gave his daughter in marriage to Solomon at the time when Menelaus visited Phoenicia after the capture of Troy" (cf. laetus ). He wrote a history of Phoenicia (in Ant. 8:144, Josephus says that Menander translated the Tyrian records from Phoenician into Greek) which included an account of hiram of Tyre, in whose reign "lived Abdemon, a young lad, who always succeeded in mastering the problems set by Solomon, king of Jerusalem" (Jos., Apion, 1:120; Ant. 8:146; cf. dios ). Hiram also dedicated the golden pillar in the temple of Zeus, which, according to eupolemus (Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica, 9:34), was a present from Solomon. According to Josephus (Ant. 8:324), Menander also alluded to the drought which occurred during King Ahab's reign.
