A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Aristodemus (search)
tained from attacking the Messenians, until at last some favourable signs in the sacrifices encouraged them to undertake a fresh campaign against Ithome. A battle was fought, in which king Euphaes lost his life, and as he left no heir to the throne, Aristodemus was elected king by the Messenians, notwithstanding the opposition of some, who declared him unworthy on account of the murder of his daughter. This happened about B. C. 729. Aristodemus shewed himself worthy of the confidence placed in him: he continued the war against the Lacedaemonians, and in B.

The So, king of Egypt, with whom Hosea, king of Israel, made an alliance about B. C. 722 (2 Kings, 17.4), was in all probability the same as the second king of the dynasty, Sebichus; * So is in Hebrew which may have been pronounced originally Sova or Seva, and which would then bear a still stronger resemblance to Sebichus. and the Tirhakah, king of the Ethiopians, who was preparing to make war against Sennacherib, in B. C. 711 (Is. 37.9), is evidently the same as the Taracus of Manetho, as has been already remarked. Herodotus speaks of Sethon as king of Egypt at the time of S
