Encyc. Brit., 1960, under Dares Phrygius (supposed author of a work in Latin, purporting to be a translation of a Greek original, entitled Daretis Phrygii de excidio Troiae historia. The De excidio forms the chief source for the numerous Middle Age accounts of the Trojan legend); under Troy (Old Greek writers mention an account of the destruction of the city earlier than the Homeric poems, and in the time of Aelian (2nd cent. A.D.). This Iliad of Dares, priest of Hephaestus at Troy, was believed to be still in existence; but an unknown Latin writer, living between 400 and 600, took advantage of it to compile Daretis Phrygii de excidio Trojae historia)
