Scylax of Caryanda
Scylax of Caryanda was an ancient Greek explorer from Caria. He lived during
the 6th century BC.
In about 515 BC Scylax was sent by the Persian king Darius I of Persia to
explore the course of the Indus River.[1] Scylax and his companions sailed down
the river to the east and the rising of the sun, till they reached the sea,
whence they sailed westward through the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea, performing
the whole voyage and returning in thirty months.
Scylax explored and recorded information regarding a number of ancient cities
among the Mediterranean islands, including the island of Crete. for example
Scylax was one of the first ancient recorders who wrote of the presence of the
city of Kydonia on western Crete.[2]
Scylax is mentioned by Strabo as an "ancient writer". The Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax
which dates from the 3rd century BC is a compilation which seems to have been
named in his honor.
