Euhemerus
Euhemerus (flourished around 316 BCE) was a Greek mythographer at the court of Cassander, the king of Macedonia. Euhemerus' birthplace is disputed, with Messana in Sicily or Messene in the Peloponnese as the most probable locations, while others champion Chios, or Tegea. He is chiefly known for a rationalizing method of interpretation, known as Euhemerism, that treats mythological accounts as a reflection of actual historical events shaped by retelling and traditional mores.
