It was then that Thebes won the battle of Leuctra, then that they invaded the

And when the374 B.C. Phocians, on their side, sent ambassadors to Lacedaemon and said that unless the Lacedaemonians came to their assistance they would not be able to escape yielding to the Thebans, thereupon the Lacedaemonians sent Cleombrotus, the king, across to Phocis by sea, and with him four regiments of their own and the corresponding contingents Four regiments was two-thirds of the Spartan army; each one of the allies was therefore required to send out the same fraction of its total forces. of the allies.
At about this time Polydamas of Pharsalus also arrived from Thessaly and presented himself before the general assembly of the Lacedaemonians. This man was not only held in very high repute throughout all Thessaly, but in his own city was regarded as so honourable a man that, when the Pharsal

(Plin. NH xvi. 235) in a grove (lucus) that had been consecrated to the
goddess from very early times (Varro, LL v. 49, 74, who assigns the
introduction of the cult to Titus Tatius; Dionys. iv. 15). It was on the
Cispius, near the sixth shrine of the Argei (Varro, LL v. 50; Ov. Fast.

Ara'ros
（*)Ararw/s), an Athenian comic poet of the middle comedy, was the son of Aristophanes, who first introduced him to public notice as the principal actor in the second Plutus (B. C. 388), the last play which he exhibited in his own name: he wrote two more comedies, the *Kw/kalos and the *Ai)olosi/kwn, which were brought out in the name of Araros (Arg. ad Plut. iv. Bekker), probably very soon after the above date. Araros first exhibited in his own name B. C. 375. (Suidas, s. v.) Suidas mentions the following as his comedies: *Kaineu/s, *Kampuli/wn, *Pano\s gonai/, *(Ume/naios, *)/Adwnis, *Parqenni/dion. All that we know of his dramatic character is contained in the following passage of Alexis (Athen. 3.123e.), who, however, was his rival:
