'''Onesicritus''' ({{lang-el|Ὀνησίκριτος}}; c. 360 BC – c. 290 BC), a [[Greeks|Greek]] historical writer and [[Cynicism (philosophy)| Cynic philosopher]], who accompanied [[Alexander the Great]] on his campaigns in Asia. He claimed to have been the commander of Alexander's fleet but was actually only a helmsman; [[Arrian]] and [[Nearchus]] often criticize him for this. When he returned home, he wrote a history of Alexander's campaigns. He is frequently cited by later authors, who also criticize him for his inaccuracies. | '''Onesicritus''' ({{lang-el|Ὀνησίκριτος}}; c. 360 BC – c. 290 BC), a [[Greeks|Greek]] historical writer and [[Cynicism (philosophy)|Cynic philosopher]], who accompanied [[Alexander the Great]] on his campaigns in Asia.
