Philomēlus

（Φιλόμηλος). A general of the Phocians in the Phocian or Sacred War. He was the person who persuaded his countrymen to seize the temple of Delphi, and to apply the riches of the temple to the purpose of defending themselves against the Amphictyonic forces, B.C. 357. He commanded the Phocians during the early years of the war, but was slain in battle in 353. He was succeeded in the command by his brother Onomarchus (Diod.xvi. 22).
