restoration. (Thuc. 1.111.) He had been expelled either by the Thessalians or more probably by a faction of his own family, who wished to exclude him from the dignity of *basileu/s (i. e. probably Tagus), for such feuds among the Aleuadae themselves are frequently mentioned. (Xen.. Anab. 1.1.10.) After the end of the Peloponnesian war, another Thessalian family, the dynasts of Pherae, gradually rose to power and influence, and gave a great shock to the power of the Aleuadae. As early as B. C. 375, Jason of Pherae, after various struggles, succeeded in raising himself to the dignity of Tagus. (Xen. Hell. 2.3.4; Diod. 14.82, 15.60.) When the dynasts of Pherae became tyrannical, some of the Larissaean Aleuadae conspired to put an end to their rule, and for this purpose they invited Alexander, king of Macedonia, the son of Amyntas. (Diod. 15.61.) Alexander took Larissa and Crannon, but kept them to himself. Afterwards, Pelopidas restored the original state of things in Thessaly; but th

Eurypylus, and Thrasydaeus, came to him as ambassadors, to request him to go on with the war, and to promise him their assistance. (Hdt. 7.6.) [THORAX.] When, after the Persian war, Leotychides was sent to Thessaly to chastise those who had acted as traitors to their country, he allowed himself to be bribed by the Aleuadae, although he might have subdued all Thessaly. (Hdt. 6.72; Paus. 3.7.8.) This fact shews that the power of the Alenadae was then still as great as before. About the year B. C. 460, we find an Aleuad Orestes, son of Echecratides, who came to Athens as a fugitive, and persuaded the Athenians to exert themselves for his restoration. (Thuc. 1.111.) He had been expelled either by the Thessalians or more probably by a faction of his own family, who wished to exclude him from the dignity of *basileu/s (i. e. probably Tagus), for such feuds among the Aleuadae themselves are frequently mentioned.

nhabited Crannon and perhaps Pharsalus also, while the main branch, the Aleuadae, remained at Larissa. The influence of the families, however, was not confined to these towns, but extended more or less over the greater part of Thessaly. They formed in reality a powerful aristocratic party (*basilei=s) in opposition to the great body of the Thessalians. (Hdt. 7.172.) The earliest historical person, who probably belongs to the Aleuadae, is Eurylochus, who terminated the war of Cirrha about B. C. 590. (Strab. ix. p.418.) [EURYLOCHUS.] In the time of the poet Simonides we find a second Aleuas, who was a friend of the poet. He is called a son of Echecratides and Syris (Schol. ad Theocrit. 16.34); but besides the suggestion of Ovid (Ibis, 225), that he had a tragic end, nothing is known about him. At the time when Xerxes invaded Greece, three sons of this Aleuas, Thorax, Eurypylus, and Thrasydaeus, came to him as ambassadors, to request him to go on with the war, and to promise him their
