Antenor

Ἀντήνωρ

(Ἀντήνωρ), a Greek writer of uncertain date, wrote a work upon the history of Crete, which on account of its excellence was called Δέλτα, inasmuch as, says Ptolemy Hephaestion (ap. Phot. Cod. 190, p. 151b. Bekk.), the Cretans called that which is good Δέλτον. (Aelian, Ael. NA 17.35; Plut. de Mal. Herod. 100.32.)
