Evano'ridas
(
*Eu)anori/das) an Elean, was one of the prisoners taken by Lycus of Pharae, the lieutenant-general of the Achaeans, in B. C. 217, when he defeated EURIPIDES the Aetolian, who had been sent, at the request of the Eleans, to supersede the former commander Pyrrhias. (
Plb. 5.94.) Pausanias (
6.8) mentions Evanoridas as having won the boys' prize for wrestling at the Olympic and Nemean games, and as having drawn up a list of the Olympic victors, when he afterwards held the office of
Ἑλλανοδίκης. (See
Dict. of Ant. pp. 663, 664.)
