EspañolCHILIADES
The '''Chiliades''' (more properly, the ''Book of Histories'') is a work of the 12th century by John Tzetzes, a Byzantine grammarian.
The ''Chiliades'' is based upon a collection of ''Letters'' (ed. T Pressel, 1851), which has been called an index to the larger work, itself described as a versified commentary on the letters. These letters (107 in number) are addressed partly to fictitious personages, and partly to the great men and women of the writer's time. They contain a considerable amount of biographical details. The ''Iliaca'', an abridgment of and supplement to the ''Iliad'', is divided into three parts ''Ante-homerica'', ''Homerica'', ''Post-homerica'' containing the narrative from the birth of Paris to the return of the Greeks after the fall of Troy, in 1676 hexameters (ed. Karl Lehrs and F Dübner, 1868, in the Didot series, with Hesiod, etc.)
