A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Diophantus (search)
Diophantus 2. An Attic orator and contemporary of Demosthenes, with whom he opposed the Macedonian party. He is mentioned as one of the most eminent speakers of the time. (Dem. de Fals. Leg. pp. 368, 403, 436, c. Lept. p. 498; Harpocrat. and Suid. s. v. *Mela/nwpos.) Reiske, in the Index to Demosthenes, believes him to be the same as the author of the psephisma mentioned by Demosthenes (de Fals. Leg. p. 368), and also identical with the one who, according to Diodorus (16.48), assisted the king of Persia in his Egyptian war, in B. C. 350.

La'crates （*Lakra/ths). 1. A general sent out by the Thebans, at the head of 1000 heavyarmed troops, to assist Artaxerxes Ochus in his invasion of Egypt, B. C. 350. He commanded that division of the royal forces sent against Pelusium. (Diod. 16.44, 49

ioned (Liv. 7.16) as prosecutor of C. Licinius Stolo for the transgression of his own law, which limited the possession of public land to 500 jugera. Pighius (Annales, vol. i. p. 284) has put down Popillius as praetor of the year B. C. 357, but this is not warranted by Livy's expression, as Drakenborch has shown (ad Liv. 7.16); and it is even improbable, from the term (accusare) used by Valerius Maximus (8.6.3). Perhaps Popillius was aedile, whose duty it seems to have been to prosecute the transgressors of agrarian as well as usury laws. (Comp. Liv. 10.13.) Popillius was consul again in the next year (B. C. 356), when he drove the Tiburtines into their towns. (Liv. 7.17.) He was chosen consul for a third time B. C. 350, when he won a hard-fought battle against the Gauls, in which he himself was wounded (Liv. 7.23; App. Celt. 1.2.), and for which he celebrated a triumph -the first ever obtained by a plebeian. Popillius concluded his brilliant career by a fourth consulship, B. C. 348.

makes him become the father of Alexander the Great, having won the favours of Olympias by magic arts. But this deserves mention only as a specimen of those wild legends, by which Oriental vanity strove to reconcile itself to a foreign yoke by identifying the blood of its conqueror with its own (Diod. 16.40, 41, 42, 44, 46-51; comp. Isaiah 19.11, &c.; Vitringa, ad loc.; Thirlwall's Greece, vol. vi. p. 142; Wess. ad Diod. 16.51). The date usually assigned to the conquest of Egypt by Ochus is B. C. 350; but see Thirlwall's Greece, vol. vi. p. 142, note 2. Nectanabis was the third king of the Sebennite dynasty, and the last native sovereign who ever ruled in Egypt (comp. Ezek. 29.14, 15, 30.13). We read in Diogenes Laertius (8.87; comp. Menag. ad loc.) that he received at his court, and recommended to the priests the astronomer Eudoxus, who came to him with a recommendation from Agesilaus. Pliny (Plin. Nat. 36.9.) speaks of an obelisk which had been made by order of Nectanabis, and was se

Olophirnes （*)Olofernhs, *)Opofe/rnhs, *)Op)p(ofe/rnhs), or OROPHENES. 1. Son of Ariamnies I., brother of Ariarathes I., and father of Ariarathes II., kings of Cappadocia. He was much beloved by his brother, who advanced him to the highest posts, and sent him to aid Artaxerxes III. (Ochus) in his subjugation of Egypt, B. C. 350. From this expedition Olophernes returned home, loaded by the Persian king with great rewards for his services, and died in his native land. His brother Ariarathes adopted his elder son of the same name. Iie left also a younger son, named Aryses or Arysis. (Diod. Eel. 3; Phot. Bibl. 244

Pam'philus （*Pa/mfilos), artists. 1. Of Amphipolis (Suid. s. v. *)Apellh=s ; Macedo natione, Plin.), one of the most distinguished of the Greek painters, flourished about Ol 97-107, B. C. 390-350. He was the disciple of Eupompus, the founder of the Sicyonian school of painting [EUPOMPUS], for the establishment of which, however, Pamphillus seems to have done much more than even Eupompus himself. (Plin. H.N. 35.10. s. 36.7, 11. s. 40; Plut. Arat. 13). Of his own works we have most scanty accounts; but as a teacher of his art he was surpassed by none of the ancient masters. According to Pliny, he was the first artist who possessed a thorough acquaintance with all branches of knowledge, especially arithmetic and geometry, without which he used to say that the art could not be perfected. All science, therefore, which could in any way contribute to form the perfect artist, was included in his course of instruction, which extended over ten years, and for which the fee was no less than a
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Philo'chorus (search)
Philochorus wrote his Atthis against Demon's; but this is hardly warranted by the words either of Suidas or Harpocration. It would appear only that Philochorus wrote a separate treatise, under the title given above, to point out the errors of Demon. 4. *Peri\ tw=n *)Aqh/nhsi a)rca/ntwn a)po\ *swkrati/dou me/xri *)Apollodw/rou. *Peri\ tw=n *)Aqh/nhsi a)rca/ntwn a)po\ *swkrati/dou me/xri *)Apollodw/rou. Socratides was archon B. C. 374; there are two archons of the name of Apollodorus, one B. C. 350, the other B. C. 319; of these the latter is probably the one intended, because, from the year B. C. 319 began the contemporary portion of his history. This work appears to have been intended to remove difficulties in the way of the chronology of that period, and was thus preparatory to his history. 5. *)Olumpia/des e)n bibli/ois b#. *)Olumpia/des e)n bibli/ois b#.

r public life, though they did not actually keep him from it. In B. C. 351 he undertook, together with Evagoras, the command of the forces which had been collected by Idrieus, prince of Caria, for the purpose of reducing Cyprus into submission to Artaxerxes III. (Ochus), and they succeeded in conquering the whole island, with the exception of Salamis, where Pnytagoras held out against them until he found means of reconciling himself to the Persian king. [EVAGORAS, No. 2.] To the next year (B. C. 350) Phocion's expedition to Euboea and the battle of Tamynae are referred by Clinton, whom we have followed above in Vol. I. p. 568a; but his grounds for this date are not at all satisfactory, and the events in question should probably be referred to B. C. 354. The vote for the expedition was passed against the advice of Demosthenes, and in consequence of an application from Plutarchus, tyrant of Eretria, for assistance against CALLIAS. The Athenians, however, appear to have over-rated the s

te, he is mentioned by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 34.8. s. 19) as contemporary with Euphranor at the 104th Olympiad, B. C. 364. Pausanias (8.9.1) places him in the third generation after Alcamenes, the disciple of Pheidias ; which agrees very well with the date of Pliny, since Alcamenes flourished between Ol. 83 and 94, B. C. 448-404. Vitruvius (vii. Praef. § 13) states that he was one of the artists who adorned the Mausoleum of Artemisia; and, if so, he must have lived at least as late as Ol. 107, B. C. 350. If we were to accept as genuine the will of Theophrastus, in which he requests Praxiteles to finish a statue of Nicomachus (D. L. 5.14), we must extend the time of Praxiteles to about the year B. C. 287, in which Theophrastus died; but it is not safe to rest much upon such documents, occurring in the work of Diogenes. nor is it likely that Praxiteles lived so late. It is most probable that the date assigned by Pliny is about that of the beginning of the artistic career of Praxiteles. Th
