Amastris
3. Also called Amastrine (*)Amastrinh/), the daughter of Oxyartes, the brother of Darius, was given by Alexander in marriage to Craterus. (Arrian. Anab. 7.4.) Craterus having fallen in love with Phila, the daughter of Antipater, Amastris married Dionysius, tyrant of Heracleia, in Bithynia, B. C. 322.
After he death of Dionysius, In B. C. 306, who left her guardian of their children, Clearchus, Oxyathres, and Amastris, she married Lysimachus, B. C. 302. Lysimachus, however, abandoned her shortly afterwards, and married Arsinoe, the daughter of Ptolemy Philadelphus ; whereupon Amastris retired to Heracleia, which she governed in her own right.
She also founded a city, called after her own name, on the sea-coast of Paphlagonia.
She was drowned by her two sons about B. C. 288. (Memnon, 100.4, 5 ; Diod. 20.109.)
The head figured below probably represents Amastris: the woman on the reverse holds a small figure of victory in her hand. (Eckhel, ii. p. 421.)

Denter, Li'vius
2. M. Livius Denter, was consul, in B. C. 302, with M. Aemilius Paullus.
In that year the war against the Aequians was renewed, but the Roman consuls were repulsed. In B. C. 299 he was among the first plebeians that were admitted to the office of pontiff, and in this capacity he accompanied P. Decius, and dictated to him the formula, under which he devoted himself to a voluntary death for the good of his country. P. Decius at the same time requested M. Livius Denter to act as praetor. (Liv. 10.1, 9, 28, 29.) [L.S]

Herme'sianax
(*)Ermhsia/nac).
1. Of Colophon, a distinguished elegiac poet, the friend and disciple of Philetas, lived in the time of Philip and Alexander the Great, and seems to have died before the destruction of Colophon by Lysimachus, B. C. 302. (Paus. 1.9.8.) His chief work was an elegiac poem, in three books, addressed to his mistress, Leontium, whose name formed the title of the poem, like the Cynthia of Propertius.
A great part of the third book is quoted by Athenaeus (xiii. p. 597).
The poem is also quoted by Pausanias (7.17.5, 8.12.1, 9.35.1), by Parthenius (Erot. 5, 22), and by Antonins Liberalis (Metam. 39). We learn from another quotation in Pausanias, that Hermesianax wrote an elegy on the Centaur Eurytion (7.18.1).
It is somewhat doubtful whether the Hermesianax who is mentioned by the scholiast on Nicander (Theriaca, 3), and who wrote a poem entitled *Persika/, was the same or a younger poet.
The fragment of Hermesianax has been edited separately by Ruhnken (Append.

Li'via Gens
plebeian, but one of the most illustrious houses among the Roman nobility. Suetonius says (Tib. 3) that the Livii had obtained eight consulships, two censorships, three triumphs, a dictatorship, and a mastership of the horse.
The first member of the gens who obtained the consulship was M. Livius Denter, B. C. 302; and it at length rose to the imperial dignity by the marriage of Livia with Augustus, whose son Tiberius by a former husband succeeded the latter in the government of the Roman world.
The cognomens in this gens are DENTER, DRUSUS, LIBO, MACATUS, and SALINATOR.
