Berosus was a famous Mesopotamian priest and astrologer born about 330 b.c.e. He left his native land, settled on the Greek island of Kos, and taught astrology.

(also Berossus; Greek form of the Babylonian name Belrushu). Born circa 350 B.C.; died 280 B.C. Babylonian historian.

Because of military events in Babylonia, Berosus fled to Greece, where he founded an astrological school on the island of Cos. After returning to his homeland, he compiled a Greek history of Babylonia at the request of Antiochus I; this history was on local legendary and historical traditions. His works have not come down to us. Disconnected, mostly distorted data, attributed to Berosus through a series of intermediate sources, have been preserved in the works of classical and Byzantine historians.
