struction of Alba by Tullus Hostilius, and enrolled among the Roman patres. The name, however, occurs even in the reign of Numa, who is said to have chosen Gegania as one of the vestal virgins. (Plut. Num. 10.) Another Gegania is mentioned as the wife of Servius Tullins (Plut. de Fort. Rom. p. 323), or of Tarquinius Priscus (Dionys. A. R. 4.7); and a third Gegania occurs in the reign of Tarquinius Superbus. (Plut. Comp. Lyc. c. Num. 3.) There appears to have been only one family in this gens, that of MACERINUS,many members of which filled the highest offices in the state in the early times of the republic. The last of the family who is mentioned is M. Geganius Macerinus, who was consular tribune in B. C. 367; and from that time the name of Geganius does not occur at all in history till the year B. C. 100, when we read of one L. Geganius who was killed along with Cn. Dolabella, the brother of Saturninus, in the troubles occasioned by the seditious schemes of the latter. (Oros. 5.17.)

ations and recalled him to Athens. (Xen. Hell. 6.2, 3; Diod. 15.29, 41-43, 47, 16.57; Nep. Iph. 2; Dem. c. Tim. pp. 1187, 1188.) In B. C. 369, when the Peloponnesus was invaded by Epaminondas, Iphicrates was appointed to the command of the forces voted by Athens for the aid of Sparta; but he did not effect, perhaps he did not wish to effect, any thing against the Thebans, who made their way back in safety through an unguarded pass of the Isthmus. (See Vol. II. p. 22b; Rehdantz, 4.6.) About B. C. 367, he was sent against Amphipolis, apparently, however, to observe rather than to act, so small was the force committed to him. At this period it was that he listened to the entreaties of EURYDICE, the widow of Amyntas II. (who had adopted Iphicrates as his son), and drove out from Macedonia the pretender Pausanias. But, notwithstanding this favour, Ptolemy of Alorus, the regent of Macedon, and the reputed paramour of Eurydice, supported Amphipolis against Iphicrates, who, with the aid of th

Leo or LEON 6. An Athenian, was joined with Timagoras, in B. C. 367, as ambassador to the Persian court, where envoys also from Thebes, Sparta, and other Grecian states presented themselves at the same time. Pelopidas obtained for Thebes, from Artaxerxes, all that he asked, and Leon protested in vain against the article in the royal decree which required the Athenians to lay up their ships. Timagoras, however, had gained the king's favour by taking part with the Thebans, and had studiously separated himself from his colleague during the embassy. For this conduct he was impeached by Leon on their return home, and put to death. (Xen. Hell. 7.1. §§ 33, &c.; Dem. de Fals. Leg. pp. 383, 400, ad fin.; Plut. Pel. 30, Artax. 22 ; V. Max. 6.3, Ext. 2

r exhibited in consequence by the Arcadians under Lycomedes and the successes they met with are mentioned by Xenophon and Diodorus, the latter of whom however places these events a year too soon. Thus it was in B. C. 369, according to him, that Lycomedes marched against Pellene in Laconia, and, having taken it, made slaves of the inhabitants and ravaged the country. (Xen. Hell. 2.1. §§ 23, &c.; Diod. 15.67; Wess. ad loc.) The same spirit of independence was again manifested by Lycomedes in B. C. 367, at the congress held at Thebes after the return of the Greek envoys from Susa; for when the rescript of Artaxerxes II. (in every way favourable to Thebes) had been read, and the Thebans required the deputies of the other states to swear compliance with it, Lycomedes declared that the congress ought not to have been assembled at Thebes at all, but wherever the war was. To this the Thebans answered angrily that he was introducing discord to the destruction of the alliance, and Lycomedes the

This was effected, and a battle ensued, in which Praxitas defeated the Corinthian, Boeotian, Arive, and Athenian troops (Xen. Hell. 4.4 §§ 4, &c; Diod. 14.86, 91; Andoc. de Pace, p. 25; Plat. Mlenes. p. 245). Pasimells, no doubt, was one of the Corinthian exiles who returned to their city when the oligarchical party regained its ascendancy there immediately after the peace of Antatlcidas, B. C. 387,, and1 in conselquence of it (Xen. Hell. 5.1.34); and he seenis to have been the person through whom Enphron, having sent to Corinth for him, delivered up to the Lacedaemonians the harbour of Sicyon, ill B. C. 367 (Xen. Hell. 12.3.2). The language of Xenophon in this last passage is adverse to the statement made above in the article EUPHRON, and also in Thirlwall's wall's Grecce, vol v. p. 128, that Pasimelns was a Spartan officer commanding at Corinth.

, marched with a body of Thessalians, whom he had collected, against Pharsalus, where he heard that most of the property of the delinquents was placed, as well as their wives and children. While he was before the town, Alexander of Pherae presented himself, and Pelopidas, thinking that he had come to give an account of his conduct, went to meet him, accompanied by a few friends and unarmed. The tyrant seized him, and confined him closely at Pherae, where he remained till his liberation, in B. C. 367, by a Theban force under Epaminondas. During his imprisonment he is said to have treated Alexander with defiance, and to have exasperated his wife Thebe against him. In the same year in which he was released he was sent as ambassador to Susa, to counteract the Lacedaemonian and Athenian negotiations at the Persian court. His fame had preceded him, and he was received with marked distinction by the king, and obtained, as far as Persia could grant it, all that he asked for, viz. that Messeni

.; but this seems to be certainly a mistake, and Dexippus (apud Syncell. p. 263b.) says that he was a stranger to the royal family. During the short reign of Alexander II., the eldest son of Amyntas, we find Ptolemy engaged in war with that prince, and apparently disputing the throne with him. Their differences were terminated for a time by the intervention of Pelopidas, but the reconciliation was a hollow one, and Ptolemy soon took an opportunity to remove the young king by assassination. B. C. 367. (Plut. Pel. 26, 27; Diod. 15.71; Marsyas apud Althen. xiv. p. 629d.) It seems probable that this murder was perpetrated with the connivance, if not at the instigation, of the queen-mother Eurydice [EURYDICE, No. 1.]; and Ptolemy in consequence obtained possession of the supreme power without opposition. But the appearance of a new pretender to the throne, Pausanias, soon reduced him to great difficulties, from which he was rescued by the intervention of the Athenian general Iphicrates, wh

known as the son of Lagus. His father was a Macedonian of ignoble birth [LAGUS], but his mother Arsinoe had been a concubine of Philip of Macedon, on which account it seems to have been generally believed that Ptolemy was in reality the offspring of that monarch (Curt. 9.8.22; Paus. 1.6.2.) This could, indeed, hardly have been the case if Lucian's statement be correct (Macrob. 12), that Ptolemy was eighty-four years of age at the time of his death, as in that case he must have been born in B. C. 367, when Philip was not sixteen years old. But the authority of Lucian on this point can hardly outweigh the distinct assertions of other authors as to the existence of such a belief, and we must therefore probably assign his birth to a later period. Whatever truth there may have been in this report, it is certain that Ptolemy early enjoyed a distinction at the Macedonian court to which his father's obscurity would scarcely have entitled him, and we find him mentioned before the death of Phil
