Editing Ephorus (section)

==Additional works==

Besides the universal history, Ephorus wrote an ''Epichorios logos'' (Ἐπιχώριος λόγος), a patriotic essay in which he praised the traditions of [[Cyme (Aeolis)|Cyme]]. He also wrote ''Peri heurematon'' (Περὶ εὑρημάτων), a book about inventions, and {{Transliteration|grc|Peri lexeos}} (Περὶ λέξεως), "On Style". {{Quote box|align=right|Music was invented to deceive and delude mankind.<br>— Ephorus, in ''History'', preface.<ref>As quoted in [[Charles Burney]] ''A General History of Music'', Vol. I (1776), p. 175</ref>}}
Other works attributed to him were:

* ''A Treatise on Discoveries''
* ''Respecting Good and Evil Things''
* ''The Remarkable Recipes''
* ''On Remarkable Things in Various Countries'' (it is doubtful whether these were separate works, or just extracts from the Histories)
* ''A Treatise on my Country'', on the history and antiquities of Cyme
* ''The Book of Goodness'', his manual on achieving happiness and pleasing others.
* ''An Essay on Style'', his only rhetorical work, which is occasionally mentioned by the rhetorician [[Theon (rhetorician)]].{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}
Despite having written all these works, nothing but isolated fragments survived from the [[classical antiquity|ancient world]]. His entire work has been lost.
