Archela'us
(*)Arxe/laos), one of the illegitimate sons of AMYNTAS II. by Cygnaea. Himself and his two brothers (Archideus or Arrhidaeus, and Menelaus) excited the jealousy of their halfbrother Philip; and, this having proved fatal to one of them, the other two tied for refuge to Olynthus.
According to Justin, the protection which they obtained there gave occasion to the Olynthian war, B. C. 349; and on the capture of the city, B. C. 347, the two princes fell into Philip's hands and were put to death. (Just. 7.4, 8.3.) [E.
Corvus
2. M. Valerius Corvus, one of the most illustrious men in the early history of the republic, was born about B. C. 371 in the midst of the struggles attending the Licinian laws. Being a member of the great Valerian house, he had an early opportunity of distinguishing himself, and we accordingly find him serving in B. C. 349 as military tribune in the army of the consul L. Furius Camillus in his campaign against the Gauls. His celebrated exploit in this war, from which he obtained the surname of " Corvus," or " Raven," is, like many other of the achievements of the early Roman heroes, mingled with fable. A Gallic warrior of gigantic size challenged to single combat any one of the Romans.
It was accepted by Valerius after obtaining the consent of the consul, and as he was commencing the combat, a raven settled upon his helmet, and, as often as he attacked the Gaul, the raven flew at the face of the foe, till at length the barbarian fell by the sword of Valerius.
A general battle
Natta
1. L. Pinarius Natta, magister equitum to the dictator L. Manlius Capitolinus, B. C. 363, and praetor, B. C. 349. Livy does not give his cognomen, but it is preserved in the Fasti Capitolini. Liv. 7.3, 25.)
Paeri'sades
1. A king of Bosporus, son of Leucon, sueceeded his brother Spartacus in B. C. 349, and reigned thirty-eight years. (Diod. 16.52.) No events of his reign have been transmitted to us, except that we find him at one period (apparently about B. C. 333) engaged in a war with the neighbouring Scythians (Dem. c. Phorm. p. 909), and he appears to have continued the same friendly relations with the Athenians which were begun by his father Leucon. (Id. ib. p. 917.)
But we are told, in general terms, that he was a mild and equitable ruler, and was so much beloved by his subjects as to obtain divine honours after his death. (Strab. vii. p.310.)
He left three sons, Satyrus, Eumelus and Prytanis. (Diod. 20.22.)
He is probably the same person as the Birisades mentioned by Deinarchus (c. Dem.p . 95), to whom Demosthenes had proposed that a statue should be erected at Athens. (See Wesseling ad Diod. 14.93; Clinton, F. H. vol. ii. p. 284.)
