Androtion (Template:Lang-grc) was a historian of ancient Greece. He wrote an Atthis, that is, a work on the history of Attica, which was frequently referred to by ancient writers.[1][2][3] The fragments of this work have been published with those of Philochorus by Karl Gottfried Siebelis in 1811.[4]
