A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Cincinna'tus (search)
Cincinna'tus 5. T. Quinctius Cincinnatus Capitolinus, consular tribune in B. C. 388, and again in 384. In 380, in the war with the Praenestines, he was appointed dictator, gained a decisive victory over them on the banks of the Alia, and in nine days captured nine towns. (Liv. 6.4, 18, 28, 29; Diod. 15.23, 36; Eutrop. 2.2; Festus, s. v. Triens.

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Eu'nomus (search)
Eu'nomus （*Eu)/nomos), an Athenian, was sent out in command of thirteen ships, in B. C. 388, to act against the Lacedaemonian Gorgopas, vice-admiral of Hierax. and the Aeginetan privateers. Gorgopas, on his return from Ephesus, whither he had escorted ANTALCIDAS on his mission to the Persian court, fell in with the squadron of Eunomus, which chased him to Aegina. Eunomus then sailed away after dark, and was pursued by Gorgopas, who captured four of his triremes, in an engagement off Zoster, Attica, while the rest escaped to the Peiraccus (Xen. Hell. v. 1. §§ 5-9). This was. perhaps, the same Eunomus whom Lysias mentions (pro bon. Arist. pp. 153, 154) as one of those sent by Conon to Sicily, to persuade Dionysius 1. to form an alliance with Athens against Sparta. The mission was so far successful, that Dionysius withheld the ships which he was preparing to despatch to the aid of the Lacedaeonians. [
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Gorgo'pas (search)
Gorgo'pas （*Gorgw/pas), a Spartan, acted as vice-admiral under Hieax and Antalcidas successively, in B. C. 388. When Hierax sailed to Rhodes to carry on the war there, he left Gorgopas with twelve ships at Aegina, to act against the Athenians, who, under Pamphilus, had possessed themselves of a fort in the island, and who were soon reduced to such distress, that a powerful squadron of ships was despatched from Athens to convey them home. Gorgopas and the Aeginetan privateers now renewing their attacks on the Athenian coast, EUNOMUS was sent out to act against then. Meanwhile, Antalcidas superseded Hierax in the command of the fleet, and being entrusted also with a mission to the Persian court, was escorted by Gorgopas as far as Ephesus. Gorgopas, returning hence to Aegina, fell in with the squadron of Eunomus, and succeeded in capturing four of his triremes off Zoster in Attica. [See Vol. II. p. 95a.] Soon after this, however, Chabrias landed in Aegina, on his way to Cyprus to aid Ev

Julus 10. L. Julius Julus, consular tribune in B. C. 388, with five colleagues; and a second time in B. C. 379, with seven colleagues. (Liv. 6.4, 30 Diod. 15.23, 51.)

e preserved. (Pollux, 10.93; Schol. in A ristoph. Plut. vv. 179, 303.) To "Heracles marrying," reference is made, Pollux 7.40, 10.135. In the former passage the play is spoken of e)n *(Hpaklei= gamoume/nw; this use of the verb, perhaps, like the Latin nubo, indicating the hero's unhusbaind-like subjection to Omphale. And in the latter passage the poet is spoken of thus: kata( *Niko/xapin. Of the Lacones, we learn from the Argument to the Plutus III. of Aristophanes, that it was represented B. C. 388, in competition with the *Ploutos *B/. of Aristophanes. Reference is made to it, Athen. 15.667e. Of the Lemniae, the subject of which seems to have been the loves of Jason and Hypsipyle, we have two lines preserved by Athenaeus (vii. p. 328e.). Other short fragments, but without the names of the plays, are preserved by Athenaeus (as i. p. 34d.), Pollux, and others. From these fragments we can only infer that he treated in the style of the Old Comedy-sometimes rising into tragic dignity-the
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Nico'lochus (search)
Nico'lochus （*Niko/loxos). 1. A Lacedaemonian, whom Antalcidas left at Ephesus as viceadmiral (e)qis-toleu/s), in B. C. 388, while he went himself to negotiate with the Persian court [ANTALCIDAS]. Nicolochus, sailing from Ephesus to the aid of Abydus against the Athenians, stopped at Tenedos, where he ravaged the land and exacted a supply of money from the inhabitants. The Athenian generals, Iphicrates and Diotimus, were preparing to succour Tenedos, but, when they heard of the arrival of Nicolochus at Abydus, they sailed from the Chersonesus and blockaded him there. Antalcidas, however, on his return in B. C. 387, put an end to the blockade, and wrested from the enemy the command of the sea. In B. C. 375 Nicolochus was appointed admiral, and sent out to act against Timotheus in the Ionian sea. With a force inferior in number to that of the Athenians, he gave them battle near Alyzia, on the Acarnanian coast, and was defeated; but, soon after, he was reinforced with six Ambracian sh

), in the two first of which he calls him *Niko/frwn, but every where else, both by him and others, *Nikofw=n is the name given. He was the son of Theron, an Athenian, and a contemporary of Aristophanes at the close of his career. Works Comedies Athenaeus (3.126, e.) states that he belonged to the old, but he seems rather to have belonged to the middle comedy. 1. *)/Adwnis We learn from the argument to the Plutus III. of Aristophanes that he competed for the prize with four others, B. C. 388, Aristophanes exhibiting the second edition of his Plutus, and Nicophon a play called *)/Adwnis, of which no fragments remain, and which is nowhere else mentioned. 2. *)Ec a(/|dou a)niw/n Suidas (s. v. *Niko/frwn) and Eudocia alone mention another play of his, *)Ec a(/|dou a)niw/n. Besides these, he wrote other four plays, which are more frequently mentioned. 3. *)Afrodi/ths gonai/ (Suid. s. vv. *Niko/frwn, a)ra/xnh, se/rfos; Pollux, 10.156; Schol. ad Aristoph.

be to a well-known picture of the celebrated Pamphilus; though one of them ascribes the picture to Apollodorus, observing that Pamphils was younger than Aristophanes. Notv, bearing in mind that these illusions of the comic poets are generally to the novelties of the day, we may fairly conjecture that Pamphilus, then a young artist, had just visited Athens for the first time, and had executed this picture of the Heracleidae for the Athenians. The date of the second edition of the Plutus was B. C. 388. Taking, then, this date as about the commencement of the career of Pamphilus, we must, on the other hand, place him as low as B. C. 352, when his disciple Apelles began to flourish. And these dates agree with all the other indications of his time. Thus, he is mentioned by Quintilian (l.c.) among the artists who flourished in the period commencing with the reign of Philip II.; Pliny places him immediately before Echion and Therimachus, who flourished in the 107th Olympiad, B. C. 352; and

Pa'ntias （*Panti/as), of Chios, a statuary of the school of Sicyon, who is only mentioned as the maker of some statues of athletes. He was instructed in his art by his father, Sostratus, who was the seventh in the succession of disciples from Aristocles of Cydonia: Pantias, therefore, flourished probably about B. C. 420-388. (Paus. 6.3. ' 1, 9. ' 1, 14. ' 3; Thiersch, Epochen, pp. 143, 278, 282; ARISTOCLES.) [P.
