Pherecydes of Syros was a Greek thinker from the island of Syros. Pherecydes authored a cosmogony, derived from three divine principles, Zas Zeus, Cthonie Earth and Chronos Time, known as the "Pentemychos", "of the five recesses"; sometimes the alternative title "Heptamychos", "seven recesses" is given. It formed a bridge between the mythological thought of Hesiod and pre-Socratic philosophy. His work is lost, but it survived into the Hellenistic period and we are informed on part of its content indirectly.
