archon at Athens, and at Rome Lucius Papirius was
consul for the fourth time and Quintus Publius for
the seeond.! While these held office, Áristodemus,
who had been made general by Antigonus, on learn-
ing of the defection of Polyperchon's son Alexander,
presented his own side of the matter to the common
assembly of the Aetolians and persuaded the majority
to support the fortunes of Antigonus. He himself,
however, with his mercenaries crossed from Aetolia
to the Peloponnesus, where he found Alexander
and the Eleans laying siege to Cyllene, and, arriving
at à moment opportune for the endangered people,
raised the siege. Leaving troops there to insure the
safety of the stronghold, he advanced into Achaia
and freed Patrae, which was subject to a garri-

1 Nicodorus was archon in 314/13 s.c. "The consuls of
SI5 ».c. are given by the l'asti Capitolini as L. Papirius
Cursor and Q. Poblilius Philo, each for the fourth time
(CIL, 1, p. 130). The names of the consuls of this year have
been lost from Livy, 9. 22.

son of Cassander's troops. After a successful siege 314» c.

of Aegium he became master of its garrison ; but,
although he wished to establish freedom for the
people of Áegium*according to the decree, he was
blocked by the following incident: for while the
soldiers were engaged in pillaging, many of the
Aegienses were killed and very many of their build-
ings were destroyed. "Thereafter, when Aristodemus
had sailed to Aetolia, the Dymaeans,? who were
subject to a garrison sent by Cassander, cut off their
city by a dividing wall in such a way that it was
isolated and separated from the citadel. "Then, after
encouraging cach other to assert their freedom, they
invested the citadel amd made unremitting attacks
upon it. But Alexander on learning of this came
with his army, forced his way within the wall, and
became master of the city, slaying some of the
Dymaeans, imprisoning others, and sending many
into exile. When Alexander had departed from the
city, the survivors remained quiet for some tire,
stunned by the magnitude of the disaster and also
bereft of allies. After a little while, however, they
summoned from Aegium the mercenaries of Aristo-
demus and once more made an attack on the garrison.
Taking the citadel, they freed the city ; and when
they had massacred most of those who had been left
there, they likewise slew all those of their own
citizens who maintained friendship with Alexander.
G7. While this was taking place, Polyperchon's
son Alexander, as he was setting out from Sicyon
with his army, was killed by Alexion of Sicyon and
certain others who pretended to be friends. His

wife, Cratesipolis,: however, succeeded to his power 3u s c.

and held his army together, since she was most
highly esteemed by the soldiers for her acts of kind-
ness; for it was lfer habit to aid those who were
in misfortune and to assist many of those who were
without resources. She possessed, too, skill in practical
matters and more daring than one would expect in
a woman. Indeed, when the people of Sieyon scorned
ber because of her husband's death and. assembled
under arms in an effort to gain their freedom, she
drew up her forces against them and. defeated them
with great slaughter, but arrested and erucified about
thirty. When she had. a firm hold on the city, she
governed. the Sieyonians, maintaining many soldiers,
who were ready for any emergency,

Such, then, was the situation in the Peloponnesus.

When Cassander suw that the Aetolians were
supporting Antigonus and were also engaged in a
border war with the Acarnanians, he decided that it
was to his advantage at a single stroke to make the
ÁAcarnanians his allies and to humble the Aetolians.
For this reasou, setting out from Macedonia with
à large army, he moved into Áetolia and camped
beside the river called the Campylus? When he
had summoned the Acarnanians to a common as-
sembly and had related to them in detail how they
had been engaged in border warfare from ancient
days, he advised them to move from their villages,
which were small and unfortified, into a few cities
so that they would no longer, because their homes
Pythian Odes, 9. 150), which is not found elsewhere, was
conferred upon the princess after the episode here related.
She held Sieyon for Pe!yperehon for some years, surrender-
ing it to Ptolemy in 367 n.c., ep, Book 90. 37, 1.

find difficulty in assembling to meet the unexpected
raids of their enemies. The Acarnanians were per-
suaded, and mostfof them came to live together in
Stratus, since this was their strongest and largest
city ; but the Oeniadae and some others gathered
at Sauria, and the Derians and the rest settled at
Ágrinium. Cassander.left Lyyciscus in command with
adequate troops, ordering him to aid the Acarnanians;
but he himself moved upon Leucas with an army and
secured the allegianee of the city through an embassy.
Thercafter, directing his campaign to the Adriatic,
he took Apollonia at the first assault. Advancing into
Illyria and crossing the Hebrus River, he drew up
his army against Glaucias, the king of the Illyrians.!
Being successful in the battle, he made a treaty with
the king according to which Glaucias was not to
wage war on Cassander's allies; then he himself,
after securing the city of Epidamnus and establishing
a garrison therein, returned to Macedonia.?

68. When Cassander had departed from Aetolia,
the ÁAetolians, gathering together to the number of
three thousand, invested Agrinium and began a
siege. The inhabitants of the place came to terms
with them, agreeing to surrender the city and depart
under safe conduct ; but when, trusting in the treaty,
they were leaving, the Aetolians violated the terms,
pursued hotly after these men while they were
anticipating no danger, and slaughtered all but a
few of them. When Cassander had arrived in
Macedonia and heard that war was being waged on

and Seleucus, he sent an army into Caria, for he
both wished to aid his allies and at the same time
was eager to forcé Antigonus into distracting under-
takings so that he might not have leisure for crossing
over into Europe. He also wrote to Demetrius of
Pbhalerum and to Dionysius, who commanded the
garrison on Munychia, bidding them dispatch twenty
ships to Lemnos. "They at once sent the boats with
Ávistotle in comunand of them. — After the latter had
sailed to Lemnos and. had summoned Seleucus and
t fleet, he undertook to persuade the Lemnians to
revolt from Antigonus ; but as they did not assent,
he ravaged their land, invested the city, and began
à siege. Afterwards, however, Seleucus sailed off to
Cos ; and Dioscurides,! who had been made admiral
by Antigonus, on learning of Seleucus! departure,
swooped down upon Lemnos, drove Aristotle him-
self from the island, and. captured most of his ships
together with their crews.

Asander? and Prepelaüs? were in command of
the expedition sent by Cassander into Caria ; and,
on being informed that Ptolemaeus, the general
of Antigonus, had divided his army for wintering *

3 Prepelaiüs had been sent by Cassander to Polyperchon's
son, Alexander, in a successful effort to win him away from
Antigonus (chap. 64. 3. We hear no more of him after the
present campaign until 303 sz.c., when he commanded the
garrison at Corinth for Cassander (Book 20. 103. 1).

* Ptolemaeus (or Polemaeus, cp. ZG, 9?. 1. 469), a nephew
of Antigonus, had accompanied his uncle at the siege of
Nora and had been aecepled by Eumenes as a hostage
(Plutarch, Zumenes, 10. 3). In 315 m.c. he conducted a
successful campaign in Asia Minor against the generals of
Cassander (chaps. 57. 4; 60. 2).

dispatched Eupolemus to lie in wait for the enemy
near Caprima! in Caria, sending with him eight
thousand foot soldiers and two hundred horse. But
at*this time Ptolemaeus, who had heard from some
deserters of the plan of the enemy, gathered from
the troops who were wintering near by eight thou-
sand three hundred foot soldiers and six hundred
horse. Falling unexpectedly upon the fortified camp
of the enemy about midnight and catching them
off guard aud asleep, he captured Eupolemus himself
alivc and forced the soldiers to give themselves up.

'lhis, then, is what befell the generals who were
sent by Cassander into Asia.

69. When Antigonus perceived that Cassander
was trying. to win Asia for himself, he left his son
Demetrius in Syria, ordering bim to lie in wait for
Ptolemy, whom he suspected of intending to advance
from Mgypt with an army against Syria; with
Demetrius he left an infantry force consisting of
ten thousand mercenaries, two thousand M.ace-
donians, five hundred Lycians and Pamphylians, and
four hundred Persian archers and slingers, a cavalry
force of five thousand, and forty-three elephants.
He assigned to him four counsellors : Nearchus of
Crete; Pithon, son of Agenor, who had returned
Anabasis, 3. 6. 55. Plutarch, .4lexander, 10. 3), who had
accompanied him on the march eastward and commanded
the fleet on the retarn. In 323 z.c. he was appointed to
command a voyage of exploration around Arabia, but this
was abandoned on Alexander's death (Arrian, zfmabasis,
7. 95. 4: Plutareh, zdexander, 68). TIe served under Anti-
gonus in 317 mc. (chap. 19. 4) and joined Demetrius in
urging that Eumenes be spared (Plutareh, Zumenes, 18. 3).

lower India (Arrian, 4nabasis, 6. 15. 4) and had remained

who had accompanied Alexander on his whole caxm-

twenty-two years of age. Antigonus himself, taking
the rest of the army, first tried to cross the "Taurus

large numbers of his soldiers. Turning back there-
fore into Cilieià and seizing another opportunity,
he crossed the aforesaid range in greater safety ;

from Phoenicia his fleet under the command of

thirty-six in number, defeated them in an engage-
ment, and captured the vessels together with their

the Philip who received Bactriané and Sogdiané in 323 ».c.
(Book 18. 3. 3). Ten years later he is still faithfully serving
Antigonus (Book 90. 107. 5).

3 'lhis is the winter of 314/13 n.c.

5 Medius served under Alexander, playing à more im-
portant part after the death of Hephaestion (Book 17. 117. 1).
He was accused of poisoning Alexander (Arrian, znmabasis,
*. Q7. 2), and after Alexander's death served Perdiecas
(Arrian, Successors, 24. 6) and then joined Antigonus.

5 '* Pydnaeans" is certainly wrong. Possibly we should
read '* of Ptolemy," or '* of Polyclitus," who was an admiral
of Ptolemy.

fight it out of their own free will before the tyrant
became strong than to await the increase of his power
and then be forced to struggle against him when he
had grown stronger. Since they seemed to speak
the truth, the popular assembly of the Acragantines
voted for the war, added the people of Gela and
Messené to the alliance, and sent some of the exiles
to Lacedaemon, instructing them to try to bring
back a general capable of taking charge of affairs ;
for they were suspicious of their own statesmen as
being inclined toward tyranny, but, rememberin

that leaders from abroad would honestly devote them-
selves to the common cause. The envoys, when they
arrived in Laconia, found that Acrotatus, the son
of King Cleomenes, had given offence to many of
the younger men and for this reason was eager for
activity away from home. "This was because, when
the Lacedaemonians after the battle against Anti-
pater relieved from ignominy those who had survived
the defeat,? he alone opposed the decree. He thus
gave offence to many others and in particular to
those who were subject to the penalties of the laws ;
indeed, these persons gathered together and gave
him a beating, and they were constantly plotting
against him. Being therefore anxious for a foreign
command, he gladly accepted the invitation of the
men from Ácragas. "Taking his departure from the
state without the consent of the ephors, he set sail

with a few ships as if to cross to Ácragas. He was, s4 n.

however, carried by the winds into the Adriatic and
landed in the territory of Apollonia. Finding that
city besieged by &laucias, the king of the Illy'rians,
he brought the siege to an end, persuading the king
to make a treaty with the people of Apollonia.
Thence he sailed to Tarentum, where he urged the
people to join in freeing the Syraecusans ; and he
persuaded them to vote to assist. with twenty ships ;
for because of ties of kinship and on account of the
dignity of his family, they ascribed to his words a
high degree of sincerity and great importance.

71. While the "Tarentines were engaged in their
preparations, Acrotatus immediately sailed to Ácragas
where he assumed the office of general. At first he
buoyed up the common people with great expecta-
tions and caused all to anticipate a speedy overthrow
of the tyrant ; however, as time advanced, he accom-
plished nothing worthy either of his fatherland or
of the distinction of his family, but on the contrary,
being bloodthirsty and more cruel than the tyrants,
he continually gave offence to the common people.
Moreover, he abandoned his native manner of living
and devoted himself so unrestrainedly to pleasure
that he seemed to be a Persian and not a Spartan.
When he had squandered the larger part of the
revenue, partly by his publie activity, partly by
private peculation, he final invited to dinner
Sosistratus, who was the most distinguished of the

and one of the Six Hundred at the time when Agathocles
became tyrant, escaping death by flight. In chap. 3. 3,
Diodorus, following some democratic source, describes him
as one who * * had spent the greater part of his life in plots,
murders, and great impieties," in sharp contrast to the
praise given him in this passage, probably based on Timaeus.

ously killed him, not having any charge whatever
to bring against him and yet being eager to put out
of the way a man *vho was accustomed to act and
whoewas capable of keeping under surveillance those
who misused positions of leadership. When this
deed became known, the exiles at once began to
join forees against Acrotatus, and all the rest were
alienated from him. First they removed him from
his generalship, and soon afterwards they attempted
to stone him, whereupon, terrified'by the popular
uprising, he took flight by night and sailed secretly
to Laconia. After his departure the Tarentines,
who had sent their fleet to Sicily, recalled it; and
the peoples of Acragas, Gela, and Messené ! brought
their war against Agathocles to an end, Hamilcar ?
the Carthaginian acting as mediator in making the
treaty. The chief poinis of the agreement were as
follows : of the Greek towns in Sicily, Heraclea,
Selinus, and. Himera were to be subject to the Cartha-
ginians as they had been before, and all the others were
to be autonomous under the hegemony of Syracuse.
79. Afterwards, however, when Agathocles per-
ceived that Sicily was clear of hostile axmies, he
began unhampered to subject the cities and. strong-
holds to himself. Mastering many of them quickly,
he made his power secure; in fact, he built up
for himself a host of allies, ample revenues, and a

? ]Ie had previously shown himself favourable to
thoeles (Justin, 22. 2. 6). He is possibly to be identild
with the Hamilear who had fought against '"'imoleon (Plut-
arch, T'imoleon, 95).

3 [t is pr obable that the events narrated in this paragraph
belong, at least in part, to the following year, in the aecount
of which Sicily is not mentioned.

allies and those of the Syracusans who had enlisted
for military service, he had a picked mercenary force
comprising ten thousand foot soldiers and thirty-five
hundred horse. Moreover, he prepared a store of
weapons and of missiles of all kinds, since he knew
that the Carthaginians, who had censured Hamilcar
for the terms of peace, would shortly wage war
against him.

This was the situation of Sicilian affairs at this time.?

In Italy ? the Samnites, fighting bitterly against
the Romans for supremacy in a struggle lasting many
years, took by siege Plesticó,* which had à Roman
garrison, and persuaded. the people of Sora to slay
the Romans who were among them and to make an
alliance with themselves. Next, as the Romans were
besieging Saticula, the Samnites suddenly appeared
with a strong army intent on raising the siege. À
great battle then took place in which many were
slain on both sides, but eventual the Romans
gained the upper hand. After the battle the Romans
carried the siege of the city to completion and then
advanced at will subjecting the near-by towns
and strongholds. Now that the struggle for the
cities of Apulia? had been joined, the Samnites
enrolled all who were of age for military service and
encamped near the enemy as if intending to decide
the whole issue. When the Roman people learned

this, they became anxious about what was impending 314 ».c.

and sent out a large army. As it was their custom
in à dangerous crisis to appoint as military dictator
one of their eminent men, they now elected Quintus
Fabfus and with him Quintus Aulius as master-of-
horse. These, after assuming command of the army,
took the field and fought against the Sammites at
Laustolae,! as it is called, losing many of their
soldiers. .ÁÀs panic spread through. the whole army,
Aulius, in shame at the flight, stood. alone : against the
mass of the enemy, not that he hoped to prevail, but
he was maintaining his fatherlund undefeated as far
as he was concemed. — Thus he, by not sharing with
his fellow citizens in the disgraec of flight, gained a
glorious death for himself alone ; ; but the Romans,
fearing that they might completely lose control
throughout Apulia, sent à colony to Luceria, which
was the most noteworthy of the cities of that region.
Using it as a base, they continued the war against
the Samnites, having made no mean provision for
their future security ; for not only were the Romans
victorious in this war because of this city, but also in
the wars that have subsequently taken place down to
our own time they have continued to use Luceria as a
base of operations against the neighbouring peoples.*

? Livy (9. 96. 1-5) places the establishment of this colony
under the next consuls, that is in, 314 n.c. by the conventional
Roman chronology, 313 n.c. according to Diodorus. Luceria
served as à Itoman hase in the Second Punic War, remaining

loyal in the darkest days of the contliet (Livy, 9 09. 9. 5 SOS
37. 13 5. 94. 3. 16, ete.) ; and in the Civil War Bolieey used

it for a. time as his headquarters (Caesar, Cinil War, 1. 24).

73. When the activities of this year had come to sis »«

an end, Theophrastus obtained the archonship in
Athens, and Mareus Publius and Gaius Sulpicius
became consuls in Kome.! While these were in office,
the beople of Callantia, who lived on the left side of
the Pontus? and who were subject to a garrison
that had been sent by Lysimachus, drove out this
garrison and made an. effort to gain autonomy. In
like manner they freed the city of the Istrians and
the other neighbouring cities, and formed an alliance
with them binding them to fight together against
the prinec. They also brought into the alliance
those of the Thraeians and Seythians whose lands
bordered upon their own, so that the whole was a
union that had weight and could offer battle with
strong forces. As soon, however, as Lysimachus
learned what had taken place, he set out with his
army against the rebels. After marching through
Thrace and crossing the Haemus Mountains, he
eneamped near Odessus. Beginning a siege, he
quickly frightened the inhabitants and took the city
by eapitulation. Next, after recovering the Istrians
in a similar way, he set out against the Callantians.
At this very time the Seythians and the Thracians
arrived with large forces to aid their allies in accor-
danee with the treaty. Lysimachus, meeting them
and engaging them at once, terrified the Thracians
and induced them to change sides ; but the Seythians
he defeated in a pitched battle, slaying many of
them and pursuing the survivors beyond the frontiers.

Then, encamping about the city of the Callantians, sis ».c.
he laid siege to it, since he was very eager to chastise
in every way those who were responsible for the
revolt. While he" was thus engaged, there came
certhin men bringing word that Antigonus had sent
two expeditions to the support of the Callantians,
one by land and one by sea, that the general Lycon
with the fleet had sailed through into the Pontus,
aud that Pausanias with a considerable number of
soldiers was in camp at a place called Hieron. Per-
turbed at this, Lysimachus left an adequate body
of soldiers to carry on the siege? ; but with the
strongest part of the army he himself pushed on,
intent on making contact with the enemy. When,
however, he reached the pass over the Haemus, he
found Seuthes, the Thracian king, who had gone
over to Antigonus, guarding the crossing with many
soldiers. Engaging him in a battle that lasted a
considerable time, Lysimachus lost not a few of his
own men; but he destroyed a vast number of the
enemy and overpowered the barbarians. He also
came suddenly upon the forces of Pausanias, catching
them after they had taken refuge in a place difficult
of access. "This he captured; and, after slaying
Pausanias, he dismissed some of the soldiers on re-
ceiving ransom and enrolled others in his own army.

This was the situation of Lysimachus.

taking, dispatched Telesphorus? into the Pelopon-
nesus, giving him fifty ships and a suitable force of

infantry, and he ordered him to free the cities, for 1s s.c.

he hoped by doing this to establish among the Greeks
the belief that he truly was concerned for their
indepéndence; and at the same time he gave him
a hihit to note the activities of Cassander. As soon
as Telesphorus had reached port in the Peloponnesus,
he advanced upon the cities that were occupied by
Alexander's garrisons* and. freed all of them except
Sicyon and Corinth ; for in these cities Polyperchon
had his quarters, maintaining strong forces and
trusting in these and in the strength of the positions.
While this was being done, Philip,? who had been
sent by Cassander to the war against the Aetolians
as commander, immediately on arriving in Acarnania
with his army undertook to plunder Aetolia, but
soon, hearing that Aeacides? the Epirote had re-
turned to his kingdom and had collected a strong
army, he set out very quickly against him, for he was
eager to bring this struggle to an end separately
before the army of the Aetolians joined forces with
the king. Although he found the Epirotes ready
for battle, he attacked them at once, slaying many
and taking captive no small number, among whom
there chanced to be about fifty of those responsible

who, as one of Alexander's cupbearers, was charged by
Olympias with having given him poison (Justin, 19. 14. 6).
After this campaign e returns to obscurity ; à son, Anti-
pater, was king of Macedonia for 45 days in 281-280 n.c.
(Porphyrius, "G7£f, 260. 3. 10).

? He was exiled with his father by Philip but returned
to power by aid of Olympias. After Alexander's death he
supported Olympias and Polyperchon (chap. 11. 2), his zeal
finally turning his own people against him and leading to
a second exile (chap. 36. 2-4). He appears to have returned
to Aetolia with Polyperchon in 316 s.c. (chap. 52. 6).

for the return of the king ; these he bound and sent 313 x.
to Cassander. As Aeacides and his men rallied
from the fight and joined the Aetolians, Philip again
advanced and overbowered them in battle, slaying
many, among whom was King Aeacides* himself.
By gaining such victories in a few days Philip so
tevrified many of the Aetolians that they abandoned
their unfortified cities and fled to the most inac-
cessible of their mountains with their children and
their women.

Such was the outcome of the campaign in Greece.?

75. ln Asia, Asander,' the ruler of Caria, being
hard pressed by the war, came to terms with Anti-
gonus, agreeing to transfer to him all his soldiers,
to relinquish the Greek cities and leave them autono-
mous, and to hold as a grant the satrapy that he had
formerly had, remaining a steadfast friend of Anti-
gonus. EHaving given his brother Agathon as a
hostage for the fulflment of these terms and then
after a few days having repented of the agreement,
he secretly removed his brother from custody and
sent emissaries to Ptolemy and Seleucus, begging
them to aid him as soon as possible. Antigonus,
enraged at this, dispatched a force both by sea and
by land to liberate the cities, appointing Medius

! Pausanias (1. 11. 4) tells us that this battle was fought
at Oeniadae.

? His son Pyrrhus, the later king of Epirus, was adopted
and reared by Glaucias, king of Illyria, who seems to have
been related to him in some way (Plutarch, Pyrrhus, 3;
Justin, 17. 3. 16-19). 3 Continued in chap. 75. 6.

^ He had been sent to Caria in the preceding year by
Cassander (chap. 68. 4-7).

of the army.! These men, coming to the city of the
Milesians, encouraged the citizens to assert their
freedom ; and, after taking by siege the citadel,
whieth was held by a garrison, they restored the
independence of the government. While they were
thus engaged, Antigonus besieged and took 'Tralles ;
then, proceeding to Caunus and summoning the
fleet, he captured that city also except for its citadel.
Investing this, he kept makiug continuous attacks
on the side where it was most easily assailed. Ptole-
maeus,* who had been sent to Iasus with an adequate
force, compelled that city to support Antigonus.
In this way, then, these cities, which were in Caria,
were made subject to Antigonus. AÀ few days later,
when ambassadors came to the latter from the
Aetolians and the Boeotians, he made an alliance
with them ; but, when he entered into negotiations
with Cassander about peace in the Hellespontine
region, he accomplished nothing since they could
in no way agree. Lor this reason Cassander gave
up hope of settlement and decided to play a part
once more in the affairs of Greece. Setting out
for Oreüs, therefore, with thirty ships, he laid
siege to the city. While he was vigorously attacking
and was already at the point of taking the city by
storm, reinforcements appeared for the people of
Oreüs: Telesphorus from the Peloponnesus with
twenty ships and a thousand soldiers, and Medius
from Asia with a hundred ships. They saw the ships
of Cassander blockading the harbour and threw fire

from Athens, Cassander sailed out against the enemy,

the field against the enemy ncar Tarracina * and at

then a few. days later, when both sides had. drawn

very many fell on both sides. Tinally the Romans,
pressing on with all their strength, got the better of
their enemies and, pushing the pursuit for a long
time, slew more than ten thousand. While this battle
was still unknown to them, the Campanians, scorning
the Romans, rose in rebellion ; but the people at

dictator Gaius Manius as commander and accompany-

Chalcidians, who alone of the Euboeans were garri-
soned by the enemy. But Cassander, in his anxiety
for 'Chalcis, gave up the siege of Oreüs, moved to
Chaleis, and summoned his forces. When Antigonus
heard that in Euboea the armed forces were watching
each other, he recalled Medius to Asia with the
fleet, and at onec with his armies set out at top
speed for the IHellespont as if intending to eross over
into Macedonia, in order that, if Cassander remained
in KVuboea, he might himself oecupy Macedonia
while it was stripped of defenders, or that Cassander,
going to the defenee of his kingdom, might lose
his supremaey in Greece. But. Cassander, perceiving
Antigonus' plan, left Pleistarchus ? in command of
the garrison in Chaleis and setting out himself with
all his forees took Oropus by storm and brought the
Thebans into his alliance. Then, after making a
truce with the other Boeotians and leaving Eupolemus
as general for Greece, he went into Macedonia, for
he was apprehensive of the enemy's crossing. As
for Antigonus, when he came to the Propontis, he
sent an embassy to the Byzantines, asking them to
enter the alliance. But there had arrived envoys
from Lysimachus also who were urging them to do
nothing against either Lysimachus or Cassander;
ind the Byzantines decided to remain neutral and
to maintain peace and friendship toward both parties.

undertakings and also because the winter season

where he won over most of the cities and from all sis s.c.
of these expelled the garrisons of Cassander. He

also marched against Locris ; and, since the Opuntians
belonged to the party of Cassander, he began a siege
and'made continuous attacks! .

79. In that same summer ? the people of Cyrene
revolted. from. Ptolemy, invested the citadel, and
seemed on the point of immediately casting out the
garrison ; and, when envoys eame from. Alexandria
and bade them eease from their sedition, they killed
them and eontinued. the attack on the eitadel with
greater vigour. Enraged at them, Ptolemy dis-
patehed. Agris as general with a land army and. also
sent a fleet to take part iu the war, placing Epaenetus
in eommand. — Agis attaeked the rebels with vigour
and took the city by storm. Those who were guilty
of the sedition he bound and sent to Alexandria ;
and then, after depriving the others of their arms

.; , and arranging the affairs of the city in whatever way
3a seemed best to himself, he returned to Tigypt.

But Ptolemy, now that the matter of Cyrené had
been disposed of according to his wishes, crossed over
with an army from Egypt into Cyprus against those
of the kings who refused to obey him. Finding that

these things, he appointed Nicoereon ? as general
of Cyprus, giving him both the cities and the revenues

with his army, sailing toward Upper Syria, as it is
called, e&ptured and sacked Poseidium and Potami

Malus and sold as booty those who were captured
there. He also plunderced the scighbouring territory
and, after sating his army with poii, «iiled back to
Cyprus. His playing up to the soldiers in this way
was designed to evoke enthusiauzn in face of the
encounters that were approaching.

80. Now Antigonus' son Demetrius was staying
on in Coeló Syria lying in wait for the Egyptian
armies Dut when he heard of the capture of
the cities, he left Pithon as general in charge of
the region, giving him the elephants and the heavy-
armed units of the army ; and he himself, taking
the cavalry and the light-armed units, moved rapidly
toward Cilicia to give aid to those who were in danger.

during the march ; for in six days! march towards
Malus! he covered twenty-four stages, with the
result that on accoünt of the excessive hardship not
one ef his sutlers or of his grooms kept up the pace.

Ptolemy, since his undertakings had turned out
as he wished, now sailed away to Egypt; but after
a little while, spurred on by Seleucus because of his
hostility toward Antigonus, he decided to make a
campaign into Coclé Syria and take the field against
the army of Demetrius. Ie therefore gathered
together his forces from all sides and marched from
Alexandria to Pelusium with eighteen thousand foot
and four thousand horse. Of his avmy some were
Macedonians and some were mercenaries, but a great
number were Egyptians, of whom some carried
the missiles and the other baggage but some were
armed and serviceable for battle. Marching through
the desert from Pelusium, he camped near the enemy
at Old Gaza in Syria. ^ Demetrius, who had like-
wise summoned his soldiers to Old Gaza from their
winter quarters * on all sides, awaited the approach
of his opponents.

81. Although his friends were urging him not to
take the field against so great a general and a superior
force, Demetrius paid no heed to them but confidently
prepared for the conflict even though he was very
young and was about to engage in so great a battle

on the Persian roads was not uniform. If we take 17 miles
as an average, the army covered some 400 miles in 6 days,
but the distance seems actually to have been very much less.
? According to Strabo (16. 9. 30), Alexander had destroyed
Gaza; but the city clearly retained its importanee at least
as & fortress (Arrian, zZnabasis, 9, 26-9").

apart from his father, When he had called together 212 s.c.
an assembly under arms and, anxious and agitated,
had taken his position on a raised platform, the
crowd shouted with a single voice, bidding him be
of good courage ; and then, before the herald bade
the shouting men cease their tumult, they all became
silent. l'or, because he had just been placed in
command, neither soldiers nor civilians had for
him any il will sueh as usually develops against
generals of long standing when at à particular time
many minor irritations are. combined in a single
mass gricvance ; for the multitude becomes exaeting
when it remains under the same authority, and
every group that is not preferred weleomes change.
Since his father was already an old man, the hopes
of the kingdom, centring upon his suceession, were
bringing him the command and at the same time
the goodwill of the multitude. Moreover, he was
outstanding both in beauty and in stature, and
also when clad in royal armour he had great distinc-
tion and struck men with awe, whereby he created
great expectations in the multitude. Furthermore,
there was in him a certain gentleness becoming
to a youthful king, which won for him the devotion
of all, so that even those outside the ranks ran
together to hear him, feeling sympathetic anxiety on
account of his youth and the critical struggle that
impended. For he was about to fight a decisive
battle not only against more numerous forces, but
also against generals who were almost the greatest,
Ptolemy and Seleucus. Indeed, these generals, who
had taken part with Alexander in all his wars and had

often led armies independently, were unconquered s: s.c.
up to this time. At all events, Demetrius, after
encouraging the crowd with words suitable to the
occasion and promistng to give gifts to them as they
were*deserved and to yield the booty to the soldiers,

drew up his army for the battle.

82. On the left wing, where he himself was going
to take part in the battle, he placed first the two
hundred selected horsemen of his guard, among
whom were all his other friends and, in particular,
Pithon, who had campaigned with Alexander and
had been made by Antigonus co-general and partner
in the whole undertaking. Ás an advanced guard
he drew up three troops of cavalry and the same
number as guards on the flank, and in addition
to these and stationed separately outside the wing,
three troops of Tarentines ?; thus those that were
drawn up about his person amounted to five hundred
horsemen armed with the lance and one hundred
Tarentines. Next he posted those of the cavalry
who were called the Companions, eight hundred in
number, and after them no less than fifteen hundred
horsemen of all kinds. In front of the whole wing
he stationed thirty of his elephants, and he filled
the intervals between them with units of light-armed
men, of whom a thousand were javelin-throwers and
archers and five hundred were Persian slingers. In
this fashion then he formed the left wing, with which
he intended to decide the battle. Next to it he drew
up the infantry phalanx composed of eleven thou-
sand men, of whom two thousand were Macedonians,

meaning. lIowever, here it is eertainly a device with upright
spikes on which the elephants step (chap. 84). In the defenec

one thousand were Lycians and Pamphylians, and s12 s.c.
eight thousand were mercenaries. On the right wing
he drew up the rest of his cavalry, fifteen hundred
men commanded by Andronicus. "This officer was
orderéd to hold his line back at an angle and avoid
fighting, awaiting the outcome of the conflict fought
by Demetrius. '"Ülhe thirteen other elephants he
stationed in front of the phalanx of the infantry with
the normal complement of light troops in the intervals.
In this manner, then, Demetrius arrayed his army.
83. Ptolemy and Seleueus at first made strong
the left part of their line, not knowing the intention
of the enemy ; but when they leamed from seouts
the formation he had adopted, they quickly re-
formed their army in such a way that their right
wing should have the greatest strength and power
and be matched against those arrayed with Demetrius
on his left. "They drew up on this wing the three
thousand strongest of their cavalry, along with whom
they themselves had decided to fight. In front of
this position they placed the men who were to handle
the spiked devices! made of iron and connected
by chains that they had prepared against the onset
of the elephants; for when this econtrivance had
been stretched out, it-was easy to prevent the beasts

elephants through a breach in the wall, Damis (who had
served with Alexander and knew the nature of the elephant)
studded many frames with sharp nails and, after placing them
with their points upwards in the way the elephants would
necessarily follow, covered them with loose earth (Book 18.
71.9-86). [In the present battle, since the point of attack would
not be known long in advance, a portable device was needed.
Perhaps we should think of planks with spikes driven through
them, connected by chains. Kromayer, referring to our pas-
sages, speaks of ''I'uszangeln," 4e. ealtrops or crowfeet
(Kromayer and Veith, Heerwesen u. I&riegsführung, 141).

from moving forward. In front of this wing they nzxc.

also stationed their light-armed units, ordering the
javelin-men and archers to shoot without ceasing at
the elephants and af those who were mounted upon
them? When they had made their right wing strong
in this manner and had drawn up the rest of their
army as cireumstances permitted, they advanced upon
the enemy with a great shout.

Their opponents also advanced ; and first there
was à cavalry action on the extreme wings between
the troops of the advance guards in which the men
of Demetrius had much the better of it. But after
à little, when Ptolemy and Seleucus had ridden
around the wing and charged upon them more heavily
with cavalry drawn up in depth, there was severe
fighting because of the zeal of both sides. In the first
charge, indeed, the fighting was with spears, most of
which were shattered, and many of the antagonists
were wounded ; then, rallying again, the men rushed
into battle at sword's point, and, as they were locked
in close combat, many were slain on each side. The
very commanders, endangering themselves in front
of all, encouraged those under their command to
withstand the danger stoutly; and the horsemen
upon the wings, all of whom had been selected for
bravery, vied with each other since as witnesses of
their valour they had their generals, who were
sharing the struggle with them.

84. After the cavalry battle had continued for a
long time on equal terms, the elephants, urged on
into the combat by their Indian mahouts, advanced
for a certain distance in a way to inspire terror, just
as if no one were going to withstand them. When,

Thus, too, on this occasion, since Ptolemy shrewdly
foresaw what would result from the setting up of the
spikes, he rendered the power of the elephants un-
availing.* 'The final outcome was that, after most of
the mahouts had been shot down, all the elephants
were captured. When this happened, most of Deme-
trius' horsemen were panic-stricken and rushed into

since no one heeded him when he begged them each

save themselves by travellinglight. Butas Demetrius
was passing Gaza at about sunset, some of the cavalry
dropped out and enttred the city since they wished
to carty away their baggage. Then, when the gates
were opened and a large number of pack animals
were gathered together and when each man tried
to lead out his own beasts first, there arose such
confusion around the gates that when the troops
of Ptolemy came up no one was able to elose. the
gates in time. — Henec the enemy dashed within the
wüls, and the city came into the possession of
Ptolemy.

85. After the battle had ended in this fashion,
Demetrius reached. Azotus about the middle of the
night, covering two huudred and seventy stades.!
Thenee he sent a herald about the burial of the dead
sinec he was very anxious at any cost to honour those
who had perished with the funeral that was their
due; for it happened that most of his friends had
fallen, the most distinguished of whom were Pithon,
who had shared the command on equal terms with
himself, and Bocotus, who for à long time had lived
with his father Antigonus and had shared in all his
state secrets. In the battle there had fallen more
than five hundred men,? the majority of whom were
cavalry and men of distinction ; and more than eight
thousand had been captured. Ptolemy and Seleucus
permitted the recovery of the dead, and they returned
to Demetrius without ransom the royal baggage,
which had been captured, and those of the prisoners
who had been accustomed to be in attendance at the

they were at variance with Antigonus but because,
although he and they had made war in common,
first against Perdicca& and later against Eumenes, he
had not turned over to his companions their share
of the captured territory, and again because, after
making a compact of friendship with Seleucus, he
had nevertheless taken away from him his satrapy
of Babylonia contrary to all right. Ptolemy sent
the captured soldiers off into Egypt, ordering them
to be distributed among the nomes ; but he himself,
after giving a magnificent burial to all those of his
own men who had died in the battle, went with his
forces against the cities of Phoenicia, besieging somc
of them and winniug others by persuasion. But
Demetrius, since he did not have a sufficiently
strong army, sent a messenger to his father, asking
him to aid him as quickly as possible. Ee himself,
moving to 'Tripolis in Phoenicia, summoned the
soldiers from Cilicia and also those of his other men
who were guarding cities or strongholds far removed
from the enemy.

86. Ptolemy, after he had gained control of the
open country, first won Sidon to his side ; and then,
camping near Tyre, he summoned Andronicus,! the
commander of the garrison, to surrender the city,
and he promised to give him gifts and abundant
honours. Andronicus, however, said that he would
in no wise betray the trust that had been placed in
him by Antigonus and Demetrius, and he vilely in-
sulted Ptolemy. Later,when his soldiers mutinied and
he was expelled from the city and fell into the hands
of Ptolemy, he expected to receive punishment both

Tyre. But in truth Ptolemy bore no malice; on
the contrary, he gave him gifts and kept him in his
court, making him óne of his friends and advancing
him tn honour. For indeed, that prince was excep-
tionally gentle and forgiving and inclined toward
deeds of kindness. It was this very thing that most
inereased his power and made many men desire to
share his friendship. lor example, when Seleucus
had been driven from Babylonia, he received him with
friendship *; and he used to share his own prosperity
with him and with his other friends. "lherefore on
this occasion also, when Scleucus asked him to give
him soldiers for an expedition into Babylonia, he
readily econsented ; and in addition, he promised to
aid him in every way until he should regain the
satrapy that had formerly been his.

Such was the situation of affairs in Asia?

87. ln Europe, Ántigonus' admiral Telesphorus,
who was tarrying near Corinth, when he saw Ptole-
maeus preferred to himself and entrusted with all
affairs throughout Greece, charged Antigonus with
this, sold what ships he had, enlisted such of the
soldiers as volunteered to join his cause, and organized
an enterprise of his own. Intering Elis as if still pre-
serving his friendship for Antigonus, he fortified the
citadel and enslaved the city. Ie even plundered
the sacred precinct at Olympia and, after collecting
more than five hundred talents of silver, began hiring
mercenaries. In this manner then, Telesphorus,

because he was jealous of the advancement of Pto- si2 s.c.

lemaeus, betrayed the friendship of Antigonus.
Ptolemaeus, the general of Antigonus, had been
plaeed in eharge of &ffairs throughout Greece ; and
he, oit hearing "of the revolt of T'elesphorus, the cap-
ture of the city of the Eleans, and the plundering of
the wealth of Olympia, moved into the Pelopon-
nesus with an army. When he had come into Elis
aud levelled the eitadel that had been fortified, he
gave the HMleans back their freedom. and. restored
the treasure to the god. Then by winning Teles-
phorus' eonsent he recovered Cyllené, which the
latter had garrisoned, and restored it to the Eleans.

88. While this was happening, the Epirotes, their
king Aeaciles being dead, gave the kingship to
Alcetas, who had been nidcd by his father
Arymbus and who was hostile to Cassander. Vor
this reason, Lyeiseus, who had been plaeed as
general over Acarnania by Cassander, entered
Epirus with an army, hoping to remove Alcetas
easily from his throne while the affairs of the kingdom
were still in disorder. While Lyciscus was in camp
before Cassopia, Alcetas sent his sons Alexander and
Teucer to the cities, ordering them to levy as many
soldiers as possible ; and he himself, taking the
field with what force he had, came near the enemy
and awaited the return of B sons. lLHowever, since

1 Alecctas, an older brother of Aeacides, had been banished
because of his unbridled passions (Pausanias, 1. 11. 5).
? Lyeiscus was placed in command of Epirus by Cassander
in 316 n.c. (chap. 36. 5), and of Acarnania in 314 s.c. (chap. 67.
5); butin 313 n.c. he scems to have been replaced for a time
by Philip (chap. 74. 3).

superior in number, the Epirotes were frightened
and went over to the enemy ! ; and Alcetas, deserted, -
fled for refuge to IEEdrymenae, a city of Epirus. While
he was being besieged there, Alexander came up
bringing reinforcements to hisfather. Aviolent battle

. took place in which many of the soldiers were slain,
among whom were certain others of the followers
of Lyciseus and in particular the general Micythus
tud Lysander, an Athenian who had been put in
charge of Leucas by Cassander. Dut afterwards,
when Deinias ? brought reinforeements to the de-
feated army, there was another battle, in which
Alexander and Teucer were defeated and fled with
their father to à certain stronghold, while Lyciscus
took Eurymenae, plundered it, and destroyed it.

89. At this time Cassander, who had heard of the
defeat of his forees but did not know of the victory
that had followed, moved into Epirus in haste to
assist Lyciscus. On finding that the latter had gained
the upper hand, he made terms and established
friendship with Alcetas; and then, taking a part
of his army, he moved to the Adriatie to lay siege
to Apollonia because the people of that city had
driven out his garrison and gone over to tbe Illyrians.
Those in the city, however, were not frightened,
but summoned aid from their other allies and drew
up their army before the walls. In a battle, which
was hard fought and long, the people of Apollonia,
who were superior in number, forced their opponents

puffed up with great expectations that, even if he
had had no army whatever, he would have made the
expedition into the interior with his friends and his
own slaves ; for he assumed that the Babylonians,
on account of the goodwill that had previously existed,
would promptly join him, and that Antigonus, by
withdrawing to a great distance with his army, had
given him a suitable opportunity for his own enter-
prises. While such was his own enthusiasm, those
of his friends who accompanied him were no little
disheartened when they saw that the men who
were making the campaign with them were very few
and that the enemy against whom they were going
possessed large armies ready for service, magmi-

them, saying that men who had campaigned with s.c.
Alexander and had been advanced by him because
of their prowess ought not to rely solely on armed
force and wealth when confronting diffieult situa-
tions, but upon experience and skil, the means
whereby Alexander himself had accomplished his
great and universaly admired deeds. He added
that they ought also to believe the oracles of the
gods which had forctold that the end of his campaign
would be worthy of his purpose ; for, when he had
consulted the oracle in DBranchidae, the god had
greeted him as King Seleucus, and Alexander standing
beside him in a dream had given him a clear sign
of the future leadership that was destined to fall
to him in the course of time. Morcover, he pointed
out that everything that is good and admired among
men ís gained through toil and danger. But he also
sought the favour of his fellow soldiers and put
himself on an equality with them all in such a way
that each man respected him and. willingly aecepted
the risk of the daring venture.

91. When in his advance he entered Mesopotamia,
he persuaded some of the Macedonians who were
settled at Carae? to join his forces, and compelled
the rest. When he pushed into Babylonia, most of
the inhabitants came to meet him, and, declaring
themselves on his side, promised to aid. him as he
saw fit; for, when he had been for four years satrap
of that country, he had shown himself generous to
all, winning the good will of the common people and
long in advance securing men who would assist him
if an opportunity should ever be given him to make

"certain district, with more than a thousand soldiers.

When those who remained loyal to Antigonus saw
that the impulse of the people could not be checked,
they took refuge together in the citadel, of which
Diphilus had been appointed commander. But
Seleueus, by laying siege to the citadel aud taking
it by storm, recovered. the persons of all those of

bought up horses, he distributed them to those who
were able to handle them. — Associating with all on
friendly terms and raising high hopes in all, he kept
his fellow adventurers ready and eager under every
condition. In this way, then, Seleucus regained
Babylonia.

gathered against him from Media and Persia and
the neighbouring lands more than ten thousand foot
soldiers and about seven thousand horse, Seleucus set
out at full speed to oppose the enemy. | He himself
had in all more than three thousand foot and four
hundred horse. He crossed the Tigris River; and,
on hearing that the enemy were a few days' march
distant, he hid his soldiers in the adjacent marshes,
intending to make his attack a surprise. When
Nicanor arrived at the Tigris River and did not find
the enemy, he camped at one of the royal stations,

believing that they had fled to a greater distance 312 »c.
than was the case. When night was come and the
army of Nicanor was keeping à perfunctory and
negligent guard, Seleucus fell on. them suddenly,
causing great confusion and panic ; for it happened
that when the Persians had joined battle, their
satrap Evager ! fell together with some of the other
leaders. When this occurred, most of the soldiers
went over to Seleucus, in part because they were
frightened at the danger but in part because they
were offended by the conduct of Antigonus. Nicanor,
who was left with ouly a few men and feared lest
he be delivered over to the enemy, took light with
his friends through the desert. But Seleucus, now
that he had gained control of a large army and was
comporting himself in a way gracious to all, easily
won over Susiané, Media, and some of the adjacent
lands ; and he wrote to Ptolemy and his other friends
about his achievements, already possessing a king's
stature and a reputation worthy of royal power.

03. Meanwhile Ptolemy remained in Coelé Syria
after having conquered Antigonus' son Demetrius
iu a great battle. On hearing that Demetrius had re-
turned from Cilicia and was encamped in Upper Syria,
he chose from the friends who were with him Cilles
the Macedonian; and, giving him an adequate army,
he ordered him to drive Demetrius completely out of
Syria or to entrap and crush him.* While Cilles was
on the way, Demetrius, hearing from spies that he

was careless]y encamped at Myus, left his baggage s12 ».c.
behind and with his soldiers in light equipment made
a forced march; then, falling suddenly upon the
enemy during the e£rly morning watch, he captured
the trmy without a battle and took the general
himself prisoner. By achieving such a success he
believed that he had wiped out the defeat. Never-
theless, assuming that Ptolemy would march against
him with all his army, he went into camp, using as
the outworks of his defence swamps and marshes.
He also wrote to his father about the success that
had been gained, urging him either to send an army
as soon as possible or to cross over into Syria himself.
Antigonus ehanced to be in Celaenae in Phrygia ;
and, on receiving the letter, he rejoiced greatly that
his son, young as he was, seemed to have got out
of his difficulties by himself and to have shown him-
self worthy to be a king. He himself with his army
set: out from Phrygia, crossed the Taurus, and within
a few days joined Demetrius. Ptolemy, however,
on hearing of the arrival of Antigonus, called together
his leaders and friends and took counsel with them
whether it was better to remain and reach a final
decision in Syria or to withdraw to Egypt and carry
on the war from there as he had formerly done
against Perdiccas.: Now all advised him not to risk
a battle against an army that was many times stronger
and had a larger number of elephants as well as against
an unconquered general; for, they said, it would

his generosity after Gaza (chap. 85. 3).

be much easier for him to settle the war in Egypt 2312 s.
where he had plenty of supplies'and could trust to .
the difficulty of the terrain. Deciding, therefore, to
leave Syria, he ra£ed the most noteworthy of the
citids that he had captured: Aké in Phoenician
Syria, and Ioppé, Samaria, and Gaza in Syria ; then
he himself, taking the army and what of the booty
it was possible to drive or earry, returned into ligypt!

94. Now that Antigonus without a fight had gained
possession. of all Syria and Phoenicia, he desired to
make a eampaign against the land of the Arabs who
are called. Nabataeans. Deciding that this people
was hostile to his interests, he selected one of his
friends, Athenaeus, gave him four thousand light
foot-soldiers and six hundred horsemen fitted for
speed, and ordered him to set upon the barbarians
suddenly and cut off all their cattle as booty.

For the sake of those who do not know, it will be
useful to state in some detail the customs of these
Arabs, by following which, it is believed, they
preserve their liberty. They live in the open air,
claiming as native land a wilderness that has neither
rivers nor abundant springs from which it is possible
for a hostile army to obtain water. Itis their custom
neither to plant grain, set out any fruit-bearing tree,
use wine, nor construct any house; and if anyone
is found acting contrary to this, death is his penalty.
1 (Cp. Pausanias, I. 6. 5.

: "This was clearly a preliminary step to the invasion of
Egypt itself which he already had in mind. Cambyses
before invading Egypt made terms with the Arabs (Hero-
dotus, 3. 4-9). For these Arabs cp. Strabo, 16. 4 passim
(particularly $ 26) ; and also Diodorus! own earlier descrip-

tion of them (Book 9. 48).

They follow this custom because they believe that a12 ».c.

those who possess these things are, in order to retain
the use of them, easily compelled by the powerful
to do their bidding. Some of them raise camels,
othets sheep, pasturing them in the desert. While
there are many Arabian tribes who use the desert
as pasture, the Nabataeans far surpass the others
in wealth although they are not much more than
ten thousand in number ; for not a few of them are
accustomed to bring down to the sea frankincense
aud myrrh and the most valuable kinds of spices,
which they procure from those who convey them
from what is called Arabia Eudaemon. They are
exeeptionally fond of freedom ; and, whenever a
strong force of enemies comes near, they take
refuge in the desert, using this as à fortress *; for it
lacks water and cannot be crossed by others, but
to them alone, since they have prepared subterra-
nean reservoirs lined with stucco, it furnishes safety.
Às the earth in some places is clayey and in others
is of soft stone, they make great excavations in it,
the mouths of which they make very small, but by
constantly increasing the width as they dig deeper,
they finally make them of such size that each side
has a length of one plethrum. After filling these
reservoirs with rain water, they close the openings,
making them even with the rest of the ground, and
they leave signs that are known to themselves but
are unrecognizable by others. They water their
cattle every other day, so that, if they flee through
waterless places, they may not need a continuous

the ground which are suitable for this purpose ; for
among them theré grow the pepper and plenty of
the"so-called wild honey from trees, which they
drink mixed with water. "There are also other tribes

of Árabs, some of whom even till the soil, mingling

with the tribute-paying peoples, and have the same
customs as the Syrians, except that they do not
dwell in houses.

95. It appears that such are the customs of the
Arabs. But whenthe time draws near for the national
gathering at which those who dwell round about are
üceustomed to meet, some to sell goods and others
to purchase things that are needful to them, they
travel to this mecting, leaving on a certain rock?
their possessions and their old men, also their women
and their children. This place is exceedingly strong
but unwalled, and it is distant two days' journey
from the settled country.

After waiting for this season, Athenaeus set out
for the rock with his army in light marching order.
Covering the twenty-two hundred stades ? from the
district of Idumaea in three days and the same
number of nights, he escaped the attention of the
Arabs and seized the rock at about midnight. Of
those that were caught there, some he slew at once,
some he took as prisoners, and others who were

wounded he left behind ; and of the frankincense and 312 x.c.
myrrh he gathered together the larger part, and about
five hundredtalents of silver. Delaying no longer than
the early morning Watch,! he at once departed at top
speed, expecting to be pursued by the barbarians.
When he and his men had marched without pause for
two hundred stades, they made camp, being tired
and keeping a careless watch aa if they believed that
the enemy could not come before two or three days.
But when the Arabs heard from those who bad seen
the expedition, they at once gathered together and,
leaving the place of assembly, came to the rock ;
then, being informed by the wounded of what had
taken place, they pursued the Greeks at top speed.
While the men of Athenaeus were encamped with
little thought of the enemy and because of their
weariness were deep in sleep, some of their prisoners
escaped secretly ; and the Nabataeans, learning from
them the condition of the enemy, attacked the camp
at about the third watch, being no less than eight
thousand in number. Most of the hostile troops they
slaughtered where they lay ; the rest they slew with
their javelins as they awoke and sprang to arms. In
the end all the foot-soldiers were slain, but of the
horsemen about fifty escaped, and of these the larger
part were wounded.

And so Athenaeus, after being successful at first,
later becáuse of his own folly failed in this manner;
for carelessness and indifference are, in gene al,

1 4ethe last watch of the night. If we follow the M55.
and omit éo0w5s, we may translate: "' MC AYIE no longer

wont to follow success. l'or this reason some rightly 212 ».c.
believe that it is easier to meet disaster with skill

than very great success with discretion ; for disaster,
because of the fear*of what is to follow, forces men

to bé careful, but success, because of the previous

good fortune, tempts men to be careless about
everything.

96. When the Nabataeans had manfully punished
the enemy they themselves returned to the rock
with the property that they had recovered ; but
to Antigonus they wrote a letter in Syrian characters
in which they aceused Athenaeus and vindicated
themselves. Antigonus replied to them, agreeing
that they had been justified in defending themselves ;
but he found fault with Athenaeus, saying that he
had made the attack contrary to the instructions
that had been given. He did this, hiding his own
intentions and desiring to delude the barbarians into
à sense of security so that, by making an unex-
pected attack, he might accomplish his desire ; forit
was not easy without some deception to get the
better of men who zealously pursued a nomadic
life and possessed the desert as an inaccessible
refuge. The Arabs were highly pleased because they
seemed to have been relieved of great fears ; yet
they did not altogether trust the words of Anti-
gonus, but, regarding their prospects as uncertain,
they placed watchmen upon the hills from which it was
easy to see from a distance the passes into Arabia,
and they themselves, after having arranged their
affairs in proper fashion, anxiously awaited the issue.
But Antigonus, when he had treated the barbarians
as friends for some time and believed that they had
been thoroughly deceived and thus had given him

his opportunity against themselves, selected from a12 s.c.

his whole force four thousand foot-soldiers, who were
lightly armed and well fitted by nature for rapid
marching, and more than four thousand mounted
men. He ordered them to carry several days! supply
of food that would not require cooking, and, after
placing his son Demetrius in command, he sent them
off during the first watch, ordering him to punish the
Arabs in whatever way he could.

97. Demetrius, therefore, advanced for three days
through regions with no roads, striving not to he
observed by the barbarians ; but the lookouts, having
seen that a hostile foree had entered, informed the
Nabataeans by means of prearranged fire signals.
The barbarians, having thus learned at once that the
Greeks had come, sent their property to the rock:
and posted there a garrison that was strong enough
since there was a single artificial approach ; and
they themselves divided their flocks and drove them
into the desert, some into one place and some into
another. Demetrius, on arriving at the rock and
finding that the flocks had been removed, made re-
peated assaults upon the stronghold. "Those within
resisted stoutly, and easily had the upper hand
because of the height of the place ; and so on,this
day,after he had continued the struggle until evening,
he recalled his soldiers by a trumpet call.

On the next day, however, when he had advanced
upon the rock, one of the barbarians called to him,
saying : '" King Demetrius, with what desire or under
what compulsion do you war against us who live
in the desert and in a land that has neither water nor
grain nor wine nor any other thing whatever of those

For we, since we are in no way willing to be slaves,
have all taken refuge in a land that lacks all the
things that are valued among otber peoples and have
chosen to live a life in the desert and one altogether
like that of wild beasts, harming you not at all. We
therefore beg both you and your father to do us no
injury but, after receiving gifts from us, to withdraw
your amry and heneeforth regard the Nabataeans
as your friends. For neither ean. you, if you wish,
remain here many days since you lack water aud
all the other necessary supplies, nor can. you force
us to live a different life ; but you will have a few
eaptives, disheartened slaves who would not consent
to live among strange ways." — When words such
as these had been spoken, Demetrius withdrew his
army and ordered the Arabs to send an embassy
about these matters. 'They sent their oldest men,
who, repeating arguments similar to those previously
uttered, persuaded him to receive as gifts the most
precious of their products and to make terms with
them.!

had been agreed upon and departed from the rock.
After marching for three hundred stades? he camped

of the other creatures usually found in water. Al-
though great rivers whose waters are of exceptional
sweetness flow into i$, it prevails over these by reason
of its foulness; and from its centre each year it
sends forth a mass of solid asphalt, sometimes more
than three plethra in area, sometimes a little less
than one plethrum.! When this happens the bar-
barians who live near habitually call the larger mass
à bull and the smaller one a calf... When the asphalt
is floating on the sea, its surfaee seems to those who
see it from a distance just like an island. It appears
that the cjection of the asphalt is indicated twenty
days in advanee,? for on every side about the sea for
a distance of many stades the odour of the asphalt
spreads with a noisome exhalation, and all the silver,
gold, and bronze in the region lose their proper
colours. These, however, are restored as soon as
all the asphalt has been ejected ; but the neighbour-
ing region is very torrid and ill smelling, which makes
the inhabitants siekly in body and exceedingly short-
lived. Yet the land is good for raising palm trees
in whatever part it is crossed by serviceable rivers ?
or is supplied with springs that can irrigate it. In
a certain valley in this region there grows what is
'alled balsam,* from which there is a great income
since nowhere else in the inhabited world is this plant

physicians.

99. When the asphalt has been ejected, the people
who live about the sea on both sides carry it off like
plunder of war since they are hostile to each other,
making the collection without boats in a peculiar
fashion. They make ready large bundles of reeds
and cast them into the sea. On these not more than
three men take their places, two of whom row with
oars, which are lashed on, but one carries a bow
and repels any who sail against them from the other
shore or who venture to interfere with them. When
they have come near the asphalt they jump upon it
with axes and, just as if it were soft stone, they cut
out pieces and load them on the raft, after which
they sail back. 1f the raft comes to pieces and one
of them who does not know how to swim falls off, he
does not sink as he would in other waters, but stays
afloat as well as do those who do know. For this
liquid by its nature supports heavy bodies that have
the power of growth or of breathing, except for
solid ones that seem to have a density like that of
silver, gold, lead, and the like ; and even these sink
much more slowly than do these same bodies if they
are cast into other lakes. The barbarians who enjoy
this source of income take the asphalt to Egypt and
sell it for the embalming of the dead ; for unless this
is mixed with the other aromatic ingredients, the
preservation of the bodies cannot be permanent.

he had made the barbarians much bolder by leaving
them unpunished, sinee it would seem to them that
they had gained pasdon not through his kindness
but through his inability to overcome them ; but he
praised him for examining the lake and apparently
having found a source of revenue for the kingdom.
[n eharge of this he placed Hieronymus, the writer
of the history, and instructed him to prepare boats,

certain plaee. — But the result was not in aecord
with the expectations of. Antigonus ; for the Arabs,
colleeting to the number of six thousand and sailing
up on their rafts of reeds against those on the boats,
killed almost all of them with their arrows. As a
result, Antigonus gave up this source of revenuc
because of the defeat he had suffered and. because
his mind was engaged with other and weightier
matters. For there came to him at this time a dis-
pateh-bearer with a letter from Nicanor, the general
of Media and the upper satrapies. In this letter was
written an aecount of Seleucus! march inland and
of the disasters that had been suffered in connection

So Demetrius, having set out from Damascus in
Syria, carried. out ehis father's orders with zeal.
Patrocles, who had been established as general of
Babylonia by Seleucus, hearing that the enemy was
on the frontiers of Mesopotamia, did not dare await
their arrival since he had few men at hand ; but he
gave orders Eo the civilians to leave the city, bidding
some of them. eross the. Euphrates and take refuge
in the desert and some of them pass over the "T'ipris
and go into Susiané to Euteles?* and to the Ned
Sea?; and he himself with what soldiers he had,
using river eourses aud canals as defences, kept
moving about in the satrapy, watching the enemy
and ab the same time sending word into Media to
Seleucus about what was taking place from time to
time and urging him to send. aid as soon as possible.
When Demetrius on his arrival at Babylon found the
city abandoned, he began to besiege the citadels.
He took one of these and delivered it to his own
soldiers for plundering ; the other he besieged for
a few days and then, since the capture required time,
left Archelaüs, one of his friends, as general for the
siege, giving him five thousand infantry and one
thousand cavalry, while he himself, the time being

Romans were earryhug on their war with the Sam-

country, sieges of cities, and encampnients of armies
in the field, for the two most war-like of the peoples
of Italy were struggling as rivals for the supremacy
and meeting in confliets of every sort. Now the
Roman consuls with part of the. amy had. taken a
position in the faece of the encampments of the enemy
and were awaiting an opportune time for battle
while at the same time furnishing protection to the
allied. cities. — With the rest of the army Quintus
Fabius,* who had been ehosen dictator, eaptured the
city of the PFregellani and made prisoners the chief
men among those who were hostile to the Romans.
"These to the number of more than two hundred he
took to Rome ; and, bringing them into the l'orum,
he beat them with rods and beheaded them according
to the ancestral custom.^ Soon afterwards, entering
the hostile territory, he took by siege Calatia and the

the Messenians,? the exiles of Syracuse gathered in
Messené since they saw that this was the only city
remaining of those that were hostile to the dynast ;
but Agathocles, who was eager to break up their
group, sent Pasiphilus with an army to Messenó
as general, telling. him in secret instructions what
he should do. Pasiphilus, entering the region unex-
peetedly and gaining possession of many prisoners
and much other booty, urged the Messenians to
choose friendship with him and not be forced to
seek terms in common with his bitterest foes.! The
Messenians, gaining hope of a bloodless termination
of the war, expelled the Syracusan exiles and. wel-
comed Agathocles when he came near with his army.
At first he treated them in a friendly manner and
persuaded them to receive back the exiles who were
in his army, men who had been legally banished
by the Messenians. But then he brought together
from "Tauromenium and Messené those who had
previously been opposed to his rule and put them all
to death, being no less than six hundred in number ;

city by night, the commanders of the garrison, per- siye
ceiving het had taken place, slew both the man
himself and those who pressed fiercely on within
the walls. Seizing pon this opportunity, Agathocles
brought accusations against the Centoripini and
slaughtered all who were thought to have been guilty
of the sedition. While the dynast was thus engaged,
the. Carthaginians sailed into the great.harbour of
Syraeuse with fifty light boats. They were able to
do nothing more, but falling upon two merchant ships
from Athens, they sank the ships themselves and eut
off the hands of the evews. They had clearly treated
with eruelty men who had done them no harm at
all, and the gods quickly gave them a sign of this ;
for immediately, when some of the ships were
separated from the fleet in the vicinity of Brettia,
they were eaptured by the generals of Agathocles,
and those of the Phoenicians who were taken alive
suffered a fate similar to that which they had inflicted
upon their captives.

104. "The exiles who were with Deinocrates, having
more than three thousand foot-soldiers and not less
than two thousand mounted men, occupied the place
called Galeria, the citizens of their own free will
inviting them; and they exiled the followers of
Agathoeles, but they themselves eneamped before
the city. When, however, Ágathocles quickly dis-
patehed against them Pasiphilus* and Demophilus

the conflict was evenly balanced, both of the armies
fighting with zest; but when one of the generals,
Philonides, fell and his part of the army was put
to flight, Deinocrates also was forced to withdraw.
Pasiphilus killed many of his opponents during
the flight and, after gaining possession of Galeria,
punished those guilty of the uprising. Agathocles,
on hearing that the. Carthaginians had seized the
hill called. Eenomus in the territory of Gcla, decided
to fight them to a finish with his whole army. When
he had set out against them and had drawn near,
he ehallenged. them to. battle sinee. he. was elated
by his previous vielory. But the barbarians not
venturing Lo meet him in battle, he assumed that he
now conipletely dominated the open country without
a fight and went off to Syracuse, where he decorated
the ehicf temples with the spoils.*

These are the events of this year that we have
been able to discover.

105. When Simonides was archon in. Athens, the
Romans elected to the eonsulship Marcus Valerius
and Publius Decius.* While these held office, Cas-
sander, Ptolemy, and Lysimachus came to terms
with Antigonus and made a treaty. In this it was
provided that Cassander be general of Europe until
Alexander, the son of Roxané, should come of age ;
that Lysimachus rule Thrace, and that Ptolemy rule
lEgypt and the cities adjacent thereto in Libya and
Arabia ; that Antigonus have first place in all Asia ;

and that the Greeks be autonomous. However, they si s.c.
did not abide by these agreements but each of them,
putting forward plausible exeuses, kept seeking to
increase his own power. Now Cassander perceived
that Alexander, the son of Roxané, was growing up
and that word was being spread throughout Macc-
donia by certain men that it was fitting to release
the boy from eustody and give him his father's
kingdom ; and, fearing for himself, he instructed
Glaueias, who was in command of the guard. over
the child, to murder Roxané and tho king and con-
ceal their bodies, but to disclose to no onc else what
had been done... When Glaucias had carried out the in-
strüetions, Cassander, Lysimachus, and Ptolemy, and
Antigonus as well, were relieved of their anticipated
danger from the king ; for henceforth, there being
no longer anyone to inherit the realm, each of those
who had rule over nations or cities entertained hopes
of royal power and held the territory that had been
plaeed under his authority as if it were a kingdom
won by the spear.

This was the situation in Asia and in Greece and
Macedonia.?

In ltaly ? the Romans with strong forces of foot
and horse took the field against Pollitium, a city of
the Marrucini. They also sent some of their citizens
as a colony and settled the place called Interamna.

i Chis Glaucias, who is not to be identified with the
Glaucias of chaps. 67. 6 and 70. 7, had been placed in charge
of the guard by Cassander (chap. 59. 4). for the murder
of Alexander and fRoxané cp. Justin, 15. 9. 5; Pausanias,

106. In Sicily,* where Agathocles was constantly sit s.c.
increasing in power and collecting stronger forces, the
Carthaginians, since they heard that the dynast was
organizing the cities of the island for his own ends and
that with his armed forees he surpassed their own
soldiers, decided to wage the war with more energy,
Aecordingly they at once. made ready one hundred
and thirty triremes, ehose as general Hamilcar? one of
their most distinguished men, gave him two thousand
citizen soldiers among whom were many of the nobles,
ten thousand men from Libya, a thousand mereenaries
and bo hundred zeugippae? from Etruria, a thousand
Baliarie slingers, and. also à large sum of money and
the proper provision of missiles, food, and the other
Lhings necessary for war. After the whole fleet had
sailed from. Carthage and. was at sea, a storm fell
suddenly upon it, sank sixty triremes, and completely
destroyed two hundred of the ships that were carrying
supplies. "he rest of the fleet, after encountcring
severe storms, with diffieulty reached Sicily in safety.
Not a few of the Carthaginian nobles were lost, for
whom the city instituted publie mourning; for it
is their custom whenever any major disaster has
befallen the city, to cover the walls with black sack-
cloth. EHamilear, the general, gathered together thc
men who had survived tbe storm, enrolled moercen-
aries, and. enlisted those troops of the Sicilian allies

horse, like the dudourmos of chap. 99. 9 ; but perhaps we

who were fit for service. He also took over the forces si1 s.c.
that were already in Sicily and, having attended to

all things expedient for war, mustered his armies in

the open country, akout forty thousand foot-soldiers

and nearly five thousand mounted men. Since he had
quiekly reetified the misfortune that he had suffered

and won the reputation of being à good general, he
revived the shattered spirits of his allies and presented

no ordinary problem to his eneniics,

107. Ás Agathocles smw. that the forees of the
Carthapinians were superior Fo his own, he surmised
(hat not a few of the strongholds would. sto over to
the Phoenieians, and also those of the cities that were
offended with him. Ie was partieularly concerned
for the city of the Goeloans sinee. he. learned. that
all the forces of the enemy were in their land. At
about this time he also suffered a considerable naval
loss, for at the straits twenty of his ships with their
ercws fell into the hands of the Carthaginians. De-
ciding nevertheless to make the city of Gela secure
with a garrison, he did not venture to lead an army
in openly lest the result be that the Geloans, who
were looking for an excuse, forestal] him and he lose
the city, which provided him with great resources.!
He therefore sent in his soldiers a few at a time as
if for particular needs unti] his troops far surpassed
those of the city in number. Soon he himself also
arrived and charged the CGeloans with treason and
desertion, either because they were actually planning
to do something of this sort, or because he was

together a large mnount of money and caused :
dreadful panie among: all who were subject to lin.
Being thought to have trented the Geloans more
er uclly than was proper, he heaped together in. the
ditches outside the walls those who had been slain ;
and, leaving behind in the city an adequate garrison,
he took the field against the enemy.

which men say had been a stronghold of Phalaris.
leve it is reported that the tyr: ant had constructed
the bronze bul that has become famous, the device
being heated by a fire beneath for the torment
of those .., hi, 1 8o ordeal; and so the place
has been «. c Pss 1 because of the impiety
practised upon his victims. On the "other side
Agathocles held another of the strongholds that had
belonged to Phalaris, the one velich was called
Phalarium after him. In the space between the
encamped armies was a river,? which each of them
used as a defence against the enemy ; and sayings
from earlier times were current that near this place
a great number of men were destined to perish in
claims that he himself had seen the brazen bull, which
Hamilear had. taken to Carthage (about 480 n.c.) and Scipio
Aemilianus had brought back to Acragas after the sack

of Carthage. Cp. also Book 20. 1. 8.

battle. Since, however, it was not clear to which 81 x.«.
of the two sides the misfortune would happen, the
armies were filled with superstitious fear and shrank
from battle. "Therefdre for a long time neither dared
to eross the river in force, until an unexpected cause
brought them iuto general battle. "The raids made
by the Libyans through the enemy's eountry aroused
Ag athocles into doing the same; and while the
( ione were engaged in pluudering and were driving
away some be: un of burden taken fron the Cartha-
ginian camp, soldiers issued from that enc MN
to pursue them. — Agathocles, foreseeingy what. w:
about to happen, placed beside the river au Nb
of inen selected for eouragze. "Fhese, as the Cartha-
ginians erossed the river in their pursuit of those
who were driving the beasts, sprang suddenly from
the ambush, fell upon the disordered soldiers, and
easily drove them baek. While the barbarians were
being slaughtered and were fleeing to their own
camp, Agathocles, thinking that the time had come
to fight to a finish, led his whole army against the
camp of the enemy. Falling on them unexpectedly
and quickly filling up a part of the moat, he over-
threw the palisade and forced an entrance into the
sump. "The Carthaginians, who had been thrown into
t panie by the unexpected attack and could find
no opportunity for forming their lines, faced the
enemy and fought against them at random. Both
sides fought fiercely for the moat, and the whole
place round about was quickly covered with dead;
for the most notable of the Carthaginians rushed
up to give aid when they saw the camp being taken,

and the forces of Agathocles, encouraged by the 311».
advantage gained and believing that they would end

the whole war by a single battle, pressed hard upon

the barbarians. »

100. But when Hamilcar saw that his men were
being overpowered and that the Greeks in constantly
increasing numbers were making their way into the
camp, he brought up his slingers, who came from
the Baliaric Islands and numbered at least a thousand.
By hurling à shower of great stones, they wounded
many and even killed not a few of those who were
attacking, and they shattered the defensive armour
of most of them. I'or these men, who arce accustomed
to sling stones weighing a mina,! contribute a great
deal toward. vietory in battle, sinee from childhood
they practise constantly with the sling. In this way
they drove the Greeks from the eamp and defeated
them. But Agathocles continued to attack at other
points, and indeed the camp was already being
taken by storm when unexpected veinforcements
from Libya arrived by water for the Carthaginians.
Thus again gaining heart, those from the camp
fought against the Greeks in front, and the reinforce-
ments surrounded them on all sides. Sinee the
Greeks were now receiving wounds from an unex-
pected. quarter, the battle quickly reversed itself ;
and some of then fled into the Himoeras River, others
into the camp. "The withdrawal was for a distance of
forty stades * ; and since it was almost entirely over
e level country, they were hotly pursued by the bar-
barian cavalry, numbering not less than five thousand.

shut himself up in Gela, not because he was unable
to go safely to Syracuse, but because he wished to
divert the Carthaginians to the siege of Gela in order
that the Syracusans might quite fearless]y gather

at first attempted to besiege Gela, but discovering
that there were troops in the city defending it and

I, One might justly censure those who in their
histories insert over-long orations or employ frequent
speeches ;. for not only do they rend asunder the
continuity of the narrative by the ill-timed insertion
af speeches, but also they interrupt the interest of
those who are eagerly pressing ou toward a full know-
ledge of the events. Yct surely there is opportunity
for those who wish to display rhetorieal prowess to
compose by themselves publie discourses and speeches
for ambassadors, likewise orations of praise and blame
and the like ; for by recognizing the classification of
literary types and by claborating each of the two by
itself, inc might: reasonably expect to gain à reputa-
tion in both fields of activity. Butasitis, some writers
by excessive use of rhetorical passages have made
the whole art of history into an appendage of or atory.
Not only does that which is poorly composed give
offence, but also that which seems to have hit the
mark in other respects yet has gone far astray from
the themes and occasions that belong to its peculiar
type. "Therefore, even of those who read such works,
some skip over the orations although they appear to
be entirely successful, and others, wearied in spirit by
the historian's wordiness and lack of taste, abandon

the reading entirely ; and this attitude is not without
reason, for the genius of history is simple and self-
consistent and as a whole is like a living organism.
If it is mangled, if is stripped of its living charm ;
but if it retains its necessary unity, it is duly pre-
served and, by the harmony of the whole composition,
renders the reading pleasant and clear.

2. Nevertheless, in disapproving rhetorical speeches,
we do not ban them wholly from historical works ;
for, sinee history needs to be. adorned with. variety,
in eertain places itis necessary Eo eall to our aid even
such. passagres---and. of this opportunity I should not
wish to deprive inyself—s0 that, whenever the situa-
lion requires. either à publie address from an. ;m-
bassador or à& stablesman, or some such. thing from
the other eharaeters, whoever does not boldly enter
the contest of words would hiniself be blaneworthy.
For one would find no small number of reasons for
whieh on many occasions the aid of rhetorie will
necessarily be enlisted ; for when many things have
been said well and to the point, one should not in
contempt pass over what is worthy of memory and
possesses a utility not alien to history, nor when

the subject matter is great and glorious should. one

allow the language to appear inferior to the deeds ;
and there are times when, an event turning out con-
trary to expectation, we shall be forced to use words
suitable to the subject in order to explain the seeming
parados.

But let this suffice on this subject ; we must now
write about the events that belong to my theme, first
sebting forth the chronological seheme of our narra-
tive. In the preceding Books we have written of the

deeds of both the Greeks and the barbarians from
the earliest times down to the year before Agathocles'
Libyan campaign ; the years from the sack of Troy
to that event total'eight hundred and eighty-three:
In this Book, adding what comes next in the account,
we shall begin with Agathocles' crossing into Libya,
and end with the year in which the kings, after reach-
ing an agreement with each ot her, began joint
opert ations; against Antigonus, son of Philip, embracing
à period of nine years.

3. When Hieromnemon was archon in Athens, the
Romans elected to the consulship Gaius Julius and
Quintus Aemilius *; and in Sicily Agathocles, who
had been defeated by the Carthaginians in the battle
at the Himeras River and had lost the largest and
strongest part of his army, took refuge in Syracuse.
When he saw that all his allies had. changed sides
and that the barbarians were masters of almost all
Sicily except Syracuse and were far superior in both
land and sea forces, he carried out an undertaking
that was unexpected and most reckless. For when
all had concluded that he would not even try to take
the field against the Carthaginians, he determined
to leave an adequate garrison for the city, to select
those of the soldiers who were fit, and with these to
eross over into Libya. For he hoped that, if he did
this, those in Carthage, who had been living luxuri-
ously in long-continued peace and were therefore
without experience in the dangers of battle, would

? Hieromnemon was arehon in 310/09 s.c. In the Fasti
the consuls of 311 u.c. are C. Iunius Bubulcus Brutus for
the third time and Q. Aenilius Barbula for the second (CIL,
1, p. 130; cp. Livy, 9. 30. 1). The narrative is continued
from Book 19. 110. 5. For the first part of the African
campaign, cp. Justin, 92. 4-6 ; Orosius, 4. 6, 23-29.

easily be defeated by men who had been trained in s10 s.
the school of danger; that the Libyan allies of the
Carthaginians, who had for along time resented their
exactions, would gftasp an opportunity for revolt;
most important of all, that by appearing unex-
pectedly, he would plunder a land which had not been
ravaged and which, because of the prosperity of the
Carthaginians, abounded in wealth of every kind;
ünd in general, that he would. divert the barbarians
from his native city and from all Sicily and transfer
the whole war to Libya. And this last, indeed, was
accomplished.

J. Diselosing this intention to none of his friends,
he set up his brother Antander? as eurator of the
city with an adequate garrisom; and he himself
selected and enrolled. those of the soldiers who were
lit for service, bidding the infantry be ready with
their arms, and giving special orders to the cavalry
that, in addition to their full armour, they should have
with them saddle-pads and bridles, in order that,
when he got possession of horses, he might have men
ready to mount them, equipped with what was needed
for the service ; for in the earlier defeat the greater
part of the foot-soldiers had been killed, but almost
all the horsemen had survived uninjured, whose
horses he was not able to transport to Libya. Im
order that the Syracusans might not attempt a
revolution after he had left them, he separated
relatives from each other, particularly brothers from
brothers and fathers from sons, leaving the one group
one of the Syracusan generals in the war with the Druttii, and
Agathoeles was only & chiliareh (Book 19. 3. 3). Fe later
wrote a biography of Agathocles (Book 21. 16. 5).

? Agathocles! losses in the battle at the Fimeras River are
given in Book 19. 109. 5 as not less than 7000 men.

in the city and taking the others across with him ; so uw.
for it was clear that those who remained in Syracuse,
cven if they were most ill disposed toward the tyrant,
because of their affection for their relatives would
do nothing unbecoming against Ágathocles. Since
he was in need of money "he .exacted the property
of the orphans from those who were their guardians,
saying that he would guard it much better than they
and return it more faithfully to the ehildren when they
became of age ; aud he also borrowed from the mer-

ehauts, took some of the dedieations in the temples,
and stripped lle women of Eheir jewels.. "hen, seeing
that the majority of Ehe very wealthy were vexed by
his measures aud were very hostile to him, he sum-
moned an assembly in which, deploring both the past
disaster and the expeeted hardships, he said. that he
himself would endure Ehe siege easily because he was
accustomed. to every mamer of hardship, but that
he pitied the citizens if they should be shut in and
foreed to endure a siege. Ie therefore ordered those
to save themselves and their own possessions who
were unwilling to endure whatever fortune might
see fit Ehat they should suffer. But when those who
were wealthiest and most bitter against the tyrant
had set out from the city, sending "after them some
of lis mercenaries, he killed the men themselves and
eonfiscated their property. When, through a single
unholy aet, he had gained an abundance of wealth
and had cleared the city of those who were opposed
to him, he freed those of their slaves who were fit

BOOK XX. 5. 1-5

5. When everything was ready, Agathocles manned s10 v...
sixty ships and awaited a suitable time for the voy-
age. Since his purpose was unknown, some supposed
that he was making! an expedition into Italy, and
others that he was going to plunder the part of
Sicily that was under Carthaginian control; but all
despaired of the safety of those who were about to

sail away and eondemned the prince for his mad
folly. But sinec the enemy was blockading the port
with triremes mauy. thues morc numerous than. his
own, Agathoeles at first for some days was compelled
to detain hís soldiers in the ships since they could not

sail out; but later, when some grain ships were putting
in to the eiby, the Car thaginians with their whole flcet.
made for these ships, and Agathocles, who already
despaired of his enterprise, as he saw the mouth of
the harbour freed of the blockading ships, sailed out,
his men rowing at top speed, "hen when the Cartha-
ginians, who were already close to the cargo vessels,

saw the enemy sailing with their ships in close order,
assuming at first that Ágathocles was hastening to
the rescue of the grain ships, they turned and made
their fleet ready for battle ; ; but when they saw the
ships sailing straight past and getting a long start
of them, they began to pursue. "Thereupon, while
these were contending with each other, the ships
that were bringing grain, unexpectedly escaping the
danger, brought about a great abundance of provi-
sions in Syracuse, when a scarcity of food was already
gripping the city ; and Agathocles, who was already
at the point of being overtaken and surrounded,
gained unhoped-for safety as night closed in. On
the next day there occurred such an eclipse of the

sun that utter darkness set in and. the stars were seen a10 u.c.
everywhere'; wherefore Agathocles' men, believing

that the prodigy portended misfortune for them, fell

into even greater an?iety about the future.?

6. After they had sailed for six days and the same
number of nights, just as day was breaking, the fleet
of the Carthaginians was unexpectedly seen not far
away. At this both fleets were filled with zeal and
vied with each other in rowing, the Carthaginians
believing that as soon as they destroyed the Greek
ships they would have Syracuse in their hands and
at the same time free their fatherland froin. great
dangers ; and the Greeks foreseeing that, if they did
not get to land (ürst, punishment was in store for
themselves and the perils of slavery for those who
had been left at home. When Libya came into sight,
the men on board began to cheer and the rivalry
became very keen ; the ships of the barbarians sailed
faster since their crews had undergone very long
training, but those of the Greeks had sufficient lead.
The distanee was covered very quickly, and when the
ships drew near the land they rushed side by side
for the beach like men in a race; indeed, since they
were within range, the first of the Carthaginian ships
were sending missiles at the last of those of Aga-
thoecles. Consequently, when they had fought for
a short time with bows and slings and the barbarians
had come to close quarters with a few of the Greek

that Agathocles must have sailed north around Sieily (Cary
in Cumhridge Ancient History, T. 628). *

? According to Justin, 29, 6. 2, heexplained away the omen
to his men, saying that if it had happened before the ex-
pedition started it would have portended evil to them, but
since it took place after the sailing it foretold misfortune for
their enemies.

his complement of soldiers. | At this the Cartha-
ginians withdrew and lay offshore a little beyond
bowshot; but Agathocles, having disembarked his
soldiers at the place called Latomiae ! and constructed
1 palisade from sea to sea, beached his ships.

7. When he had thus carried through a. perilous
enterprise, Agathocles ventured upon another even
more hazardous. l'or after surrounding himself with
those among the leaders who were ready to follow
his proposal and. after making saerifiee to DemeLter
and. Coré, he summoned an assembly ; next he eame
forward to speak, erowned and elad in a splendid
himation, and when he had made prefatory remarks
of a nature appropriate to. the. undertaking, he
declared that to Demeter and Corée, the goddesses
who protected Sicily, he had at the very moment
when they were pursued by the Carthaginians vowed
to offer all the ships as a burnt offering. "lherefore
it was well, since they had sueceeded in gaining
safety, that they should pay the vow. In plaee of
these ships he promised to restore many times the
number if they would but fight boldly ; and in truth,
he added, the goddesses by omens from the victims
had foretold victory in the entire war. While he was
saying this, one of his attendants brought forward a
lighted torch. When he had taken this and had given
orders to distribute torches likewise to all the ship
captains, he invoked the goddesses and himself first
set out to the trireme of the commander. Standing
by the stern, he bade the others also to follow his
example. "Then as all the eaptains threw in the fire

? Justin, 22. 5-6, gives the substance of a long oration,

sounded the signal for battle and the army raised
the war-cry, while all together prayed for a safe
return home. This Agathocles did primarily to com-
pel his soldiers in the midst of dangers to have no
thought at all of flight ; for it was cit ar thai, if the
retreat to the ships was eut off, in vietory alone would
they have hope of safety. Moreover, sinee he had
a snall army, he reasoned that if he guarded the ships
he would be compelled to divide his forees aud so be
by no meaunus strong enough lo meet the enemy iu
battle, and if he left dics ships without. defenders,
he would put them into the hands. of the. Cartha-

and ihe fire was spreading widely, terror laid hold
upon the Siciliaus./— Carried away al first by the. wiles
of Asathoeles and by the rapidity of his undertakings,
which gave no time for reflection, all aequiesced iu
what was being done ; but when time made possible
detailed consideration, they were plunged into regret,
and as Lar costes the. vastness of the sea. that
separated them from home, they abandoned hope of

safety. Agathocles, however, in. an effort to vid his
soldiers of their despondency, led his ammy against
the plaee called Megalepolis, a city of the Cartha-
ginians. "Phe intervening country through which it
was necessary for them fo mareh was divided. into
gardens and plantations of every kind, sinee many
streams of water were led in small channels and ini-
gated every part. There were also eountry houses one

wealth of the people who possessed them. "The farm s10 xc.
buildings were filled with everything that was needful
for enjoyment, seeing that the inhabitants in a long
period of peace had stored up an abundant variety of
products. Partofthe land was planted with vines, and
part yielded olives and was also planted thickly with
other varieties of fruit-bearing trees. On each side
herds of cattle and flocks of sheep pastured. on the
plain, and the neighbouring meadows were filled with
grazing horses. In genen d Ahlere was a manifold pros-
pe vity in the region, since. the leading Carthaginians
had laid out there their privale estates and with their
wealth had. beautified them for their enjoyment.
Therefore the Sicilians, aunazed at the beauty of the
land and at its prosperity, were buoyed up by ex-
peetation, for they beheld prizes eommensurate with
their dangers ready at hand for the victors ; and
Agi ithoeles, seeiug that the soldiers were recovering
from their discouragement and had become eager for
battle, attacked the city walls? by direct assault.
Since the onset was unforeseen and the inhabitants,
because they did not know what was happening and
because they had had no experience in the wars,
resisted only a short time, he took the city by storm ;
tnd giving it over to his soldiers for pillage, he at a
single stroke loaded his army with booty and filled
it with confidence. "Then, setting out immediately
for White ''unis,? as it is called, he subdued this city,
which lies about two thousand stades from Carthage.

seems probable, it is distant from Carthage only about 19
miles. In any cease, since the city in question must lie
betwecn Cape Bon and Carthage, the 2000 stades (about 240
miles) is certainly wrong (cp. Beloch, Griechische Geschichte?,

3, 9. 206).

'The soldiers wished to garrison both of the captured z10 v.c.
cities and deposit the booty i inthem ; but Agathocles,
meditating actions conforming to those that had
already been aecomeolished and telling the crowd
that it was advantageous to leave behind them no
places of refuge until they should have been vic-
torious in battle. destroyed the cities and. camped
in the open.

9. When the Carthaginians who lay at anehor off
Ihe station where the Siciliau fleet was beached saw
the ships burning, they were delighted, thinking that
ib was. through fear of the mscelves that. the enemy
had been forced to de Astroy. his ships : but when they
saw that the army of their opponents was moving
into the eountry, as they. reckoned. up the. conse-
quences, Ehey concluded that the destruction of the
fleet; was their own misfortunc. "Pherefore they spread
hides over the prows of their ships as they were in
the habit of doing whenever it «cemed that any publie
misfortune had befallen the city of Carthage ; and,
after taking the bronze beaks of the s ships of Aga-
thocles on "dar d their own triremes, they sent 5
Carthage messengers to report exactly what had
happei ned. But before these had explained the
situation, the country folk who had seen the landing
of Agathocles, reported it quickly to the Cartha-
ginians. Panice-strieken at the unexpected event,
thoy supposed that their own forces in Sicily, both
army and navy, had been destroyed ; for Agathocles,
they believed, would never have veREUPCC. to leave
Syracuse stripped of defenders unless he had been
victorious, nor to transport an army across the straits

! This Hanno is otherwise unknown. Bonnibar (or
Bomilcar according to the more usual spelling) was the son
of a brother of the Hamilear who had negotiated & treaty
between A gathocles and certain Sicilian cities (Book 19. 71. 6)

while the enemy controlled the sea. "Therefore panic si0 ».c.
and great confusion seized upon the city ; the crowds
rushed to the market place, and the council of elders
consulted what shouwd be done. In fact there was
no army at hand that could take the field against the
enemy ; the mass of the citizens, who had had no
experience in warfare, were already in despair ; and
Llhe enemy was thought to be near the walls. Ac-
cordingly, some proposed to send envoys to Aga-
thocles to sue for peace, these suune men servingr also
as spices to observe the situation of Ehe enemy ; but
some urged that they should delay until they had
learned precisely what had taken place. However,
while such confusion prevailed iu the city, the 1nes-
sengers sent by the conimander of the fleet sailed in
and made clear the true explanation of what had
happened.

10. Now that all had regained their courage, the
council reprimanded all the commanders of the fleet
because, although controling the sea, they bad
allowed a hostile army to set foot on Libya; aud
it appointed as generals of the armies Hanno and
DBormilear; men who had an inherited feud. The
eouncillors thought, indeed, that because of the
private mistrust and enmity of the generals the safety
of the eity as a whole would be secured; but they
completely missed the truth. I'or Bormilear, who
had long had his heart set on tyranny but had lacked
authority and à proper occasion for his attempt, now
gained an excellent starting point by getting the
command as general. The basic cause in this matter
was the Carthaginians' severity in inflicting punish-

and was recalled because of his supposed friendship with
A.gathocles (Justin, 29. 29, 6, 7. 10) ; ep. p. 28, note I.

to commands, taking it for granted that these should
be first to brave danger for the whole state ; but when
they gain peace, thos plague these same men with
suits, bring false charges against them through envy,
and load them down with penalties. "Therefore some
of those who are placed in positions of command,
fearing the trials in the courts, desert their posts, but
others attempt to become tyrants ; and this is what
Bormilcar, one of the two generals, did on this occa-
sion ; about him we shall speak a little later.!

But to resume, the generals of the Carthaginians,
seeing that the situation was not at all consistent with
de lay; did not await soldiers from. the country and
from the allied cities; but they led the citizen
soldiers themselves into the field, in number not less
than forty thousand foot-soldiers, one thousand horse-
men, and two thousand ehariots.? | Occupying a slight
elevation not far from the enemy, they drew up their
army for battle. Ilanno had conumand of the right
wing, those enrolled in the Saered Band? fi ghting
beside him; ; and Dormilear, commanding the left,
mide his phalanx deep sinee the terrain "prevented
him from extending it on a broader front. "The

thirty-five hundred in number, then three thousand
Greek mercenaries, end finally three thousand Sam-
nites, Etruseans, and Celts. Ile himself with his
bodyguard fought in front of the left wing, opposing
with one thousand hoplites the Sacred Band of the
Carthaginians. The five hundred archers and slingers
he divided between the wings. "There was hardly
enough equipment for the soldiers ; and when he
saw the men of the crews ? unarmed he had the shield
covers stretehed with sticks, thus making them
similar in appearanee to the round shields, and dis-
tributed them to these men, of no use at all for real
serviee but when seen from a distance capable of
creating the impression of arms in the minds of men
who did not know the truth. Seeing that his soldiers
were frightened by the great numbers of barbarian
cavalry and infantry, he let loose into the army in
many places owls, which he had long since prepared
as & means of relieving the discouragement of the
common soldiers. "The owls, flying through the
phalanx and settling on the shields and helmets, en-
couraged the soldiers, each man regarding this as an
omen because the bird is held sacred to Athena.
Such things as this, although they might seem to
some an inane device, have often been responsible

for great suecesses. Ánd so it happened on this si10
occasion also ; for when courage inspired the common
soldiers and word was passed along that the deity was
clearly foretelling vietory for them, they awaited the
battle with greater steadfastness.

19. Indeed, when the chariots charged against
them, they shot down some, and allowed others to
pass through, but inost of them they foreed to tum
back against the line of their own iufantry. 1n the
same way they withstood also the eharge of the
eavalry ; and by bringing down many of them, they
made them flee to the rear, While they were. dis-
Uinguishing themselves in these preliminary contests,
the iufantry foree of the barbarians had all come
to elose quarters. A gallant. battle developed, and
Hanno, who had fighting under him the Sacred Band
of selected. men. and. was intent upon gaining the
vietory by himsclf, pressed heavily upon the Greeks
and slew inany of them. ven when all kinds of
missiles were hurled against him, he would not yield
but pushed on though suffering many wounds until
he died from exhaustion. When he had fallen, the
Carthaginians who were drawn up in that part of the
line were disheartened, but. Agathocles and his men
were elated and beeame much bolder than before.
When Bormnilear, the. other general, heard of this
from certain persons, thinking the gods had given
him the opportunity for gaining a position from which
to make a bid for the tyrauny, he reasoned thus with
himself: If the army of Agathocles should be de-
stroyed, he himself would not be able to make his
attempt at supremacy since the citizens would be
strong ; but if the former should win the victory and

defeated people would be easy for him to manage,
and he could defeat Agathocles readily whenever he
wished. When he &ad reached this conclusion, he
withdrew with the men of the front rank, presenting
to the enemy an inexplicable retirement but making
known to his own men the death of Hanno and order-
inge them to withdrawin formation to the high ground;
for this, he said, was to their advantage. But as the
enemy pressed on aud the whole retreat was becoming
like a rout, the Libyans of the next ranks, believing
that the front rank was being defeated by sheer force,
broke into flight ; those, however, who were leading
the Saered Band after the death of its general Hauno,
at first resisted stoutly and, stepping over the bodies
of their own men as they fell, withstood every danger,
but when they perecived that the greater part of the
army had turned to flight and that the enemy was
surrounding them in the rear, they were forced to
withdraw. And so, when rout spread throughout the
entire army of the Carthaginians, the barbarians kept
fleeing toward Carthage ; but Agathocles, after pur-
suing them to à certain point, turned back and
plundered the camp of the enemy.

13. There fell in this battle Greeks to the number
of two hundred, and of Carthaginians not more than
à thousand, but as some have written, upwards of
six thousand.! In the camp of the Carthaginians
were found, along with other goods, many waggons,
in which were being transported more than twenty

l Justin, 29. 6. 6, places the Greek losses at 2000 men, the

Carthaginian at 3000. Orosius, 4. 6. 95, says that the
Carthaginians lost 2000 and the Sicilians only 9.

thousand pairs of manacles * ; for the Carthaginians, 210 wc
having expected to master the Greeks easily, had
passed the word along among themselves to take
alive as many as possible and, after shackling them,
to throw them into slave pens. But, I think, the
divinity of set purpose in the case of men who are
arrogant in their caleulations, changes the outcome
of their confident expectations into its contrary.
Now Agathocles, having surprisingly defeated the
Carthaginians, was holding them shut up within
their walls ; but fortune, alternating: vietories with
defeats, humbled. the. vietors equally. with the van-
quished. — For in Bieily the. Carthagrinians, who had
defeated Agathoeles in a great battle, were besicging
Syracuse, but in Libya Agathocles, having gained
the upper hand in a battle of such. irportance, had
brought the Carthaginians under sicge ;. and. what
was most amazing, on. the island the tyrant, though
his armaments were unscathed, bad proved inferior
to the barbarians, but on the continent with a portion
of his once defeated army he got the better of those
who had been victorious.

I4. Therefore the Carthaginians, believing that the
misfortune had come to them from the gods, betook
themselves to every manner of suppliceation of the
divine powers ; and, because they believed that Hera-
cles, who was worshipped in their mother eity,* was
exeeediugly angry with them, they sent a large sum
of money and many of the most expensive:offerings
to 'yre. Since they had come as ecolonists from
that city, it had been their custom in the earlier

into the publie revenue ; but later, when they had
acquired great wealth and were receiving more con-
siderable revenues, $hey sent very little indeed, hold-
ing the divinity of little account. But turning to
repentance because of this misfortune, they bethought
them of all the gods of Tyre. "They even sent from
their temples in supplication the golden shrines with
their images, believing that they would better
appease the wrath of tho god if the offerings were
sent for the sake of winning forgiveness. They also
alleged that: Cronus * had tumed against them inas-
much as in former times they had been accustomed
to saerifiee to this god the noblest of their sons, but
more recently, secretly buying and nurturing chil-
dren, they had sent these to the saerifiee ; and when
in investigation was made, some of those who had
been sacrificed were discovered to have been suppo-
sititious. When they had given thought to these
things and saw their enemy " encamped before their
walls, they were filled with superstitious dread, for
they believed that they had neglected the honours
of the gods that had been cstablished by their
fathers. In their zeal to make amends for their
omission, they selected two hundred of the noblest
ehildren and sacrificed. them publiely ; and others
who were under suspicion sacrificed themselves
voluntarily, in number not less than three hundred.
There was in their city a bronze image of Cronus,
extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the
ground, so that each of the children when placed

filled with fire. It is probable that it was from this
that Euripides has drawn the mythical story found
in his works aboutethe sacrifice in 'Tauris, in which
he presents Iphigeneia being asked by Orestes :

But what tomb shall receive me when I die ?
A sacred fire within, and earth's broad rift.:

Also the story passed down among the Greeks from
ancient myth that Cronus did away with his own
ehildren appears to have been kept in mind among
the Carthaginians through this observanec.

15. However this may be, after such a reversal in
Libya, the Carthaginians sent messeugers into Sicily
to. Iamilear, begging him to send aid as soon as
possible ; and they dispatehed to him the eaptured
bronze beaks of Agathoeles'! ships. Hiumilear ordered
those who had sailed across to keep silent about the
defeat that had been sustained, but to spread abroad
to the soldiers word that Agathocles had utterly lost
his fleet and his whole army. Hamilcar himself, dis-
patcehing into Syracuse as envoys some of those who
had come from Carthage and sending with them
the beaks, demanded the surrender of the city ; for,
he said, tle army of the Syracusans had been cut to
pieees by the Carthaginians and their ships had been
burned, and the production of the beaks offered proof
to those who disbelieved. When the inhabitants of
the city heard the reported misfortune of Agatho-
cles, the common people believed ; the magistrates,

might be no disorder, but they sent the envoys away
at once ; and the relatives and friends of the exiles
and any others whoswere displeased with the actions
of the magistrates they cast out of the city, in number
not less than eight thousand. "lhereupon, when so
great a multitude was suddenly forced to leave its
native place, the city was filled with running to and
fro and. with uproar and the lamentation of women ;
for there was no household that did not have its share
of mourning at that time. ''hose who were of the
party of the tyrant lamented at the misfortune of
Agathoeles and. his sons; and some of the private
citizens wept for the men believed to have been lost
in Libya, and others for those who were being driven
from hearth. aud. ancestral. gods, who could neither
remain nor yet go outside the walls sinec the bar-
barians were besieging the city, and who, in addition
to the aforesaid cvils, which were great enough,
were being compelled to drag along with them in
their flight infant children and women. JDut when
the exiles took refuge with Hamilcar, he offered them
safety ; and, making ready his army, he led it against
Syracuse, expecting to take the city both because it
was bereft of defenders and because of the disaster
that had been reported to those who had been left
there.

16. After Hamilcar had sent an embassy in advance
and had offered safety to ÁAntander and those with
him if they surrendered the city, those of the leaders
who were held in highest esteem came together in
council. After prolonged discussion Antander thought

that were in the hands of the enemy. But Aga-
thocles, since dispatch bearers had come to him from
Tunis and disclosed vshat the Phoenicians had done,
at onee turned back. When he was at a distance of
about two hundred stades! from the enemy, he
pitched camp and forbade his soldiers to light fires.
Then, making a night march, he fell at dawn upon
those who were for: aging in the country and those
who were wandering outside their camp in disorder,
and by killing over two thousand and taking captive
no small number he greatly strengthe ned. himself
for the future. For the Carthaginians, now that their
reinforeements from Sicily had | arrived and that their
Libyan allies were fighting along with them, seemed
to be superior to Agathocles ; but as soon as he
gained this success, the etn denas of the barbarians
again waned. Infact, he defeated in battle Aclymas,
the king of the Libyans, who had deserted him, and
slew the king and many of the barbarians.

This was the situation of affairs in Sicily and Libya.*

Pergamon Darsiné's * son Heracles,? who was the son
of Alexander but was being reared in Pergamon,
being about seventeen years of age. Moreover, Poly-
perchon, sending to his own friends in many places
and to those who were at odds with Cassander, kept
urging them to restore the youth to his ancestral
throne, He also wrote to the governing body of the
Aetolians, begging them Lo grant a safe conduct and
lo join forces with him and promising to repay the
favour many times over if they would aid in placing
the. youth. on his ancestral throne. Since. the affair
proceeded as he wished, the Actolians being in hearty
agreement and many others hurrying to aid in the
restoration of the king, in all there were assembled
more than twenty thousand infantry and at least
one thousand horsemen. | Meanwhile Polyperchon,
intent on the preparations for the war, was gathering
money ; and sending to those of the Macedonians
who were friendly, he kept urging them to join in
the undertaking?

privately formed an alliance with Antigonus, dis- 10 n.
patehed two of his friends, Argaeus and Callicrates,
ordering them to slay Nicóeles ; for he was taking
all precautions lest àny others also should hasten to
shift allegianee when they saw that those were left
unpunished who had previously rebelled. "These two
men, accordingly, after sailing to the island and
obtaining soldiers from Menelals the general, sur-
rounded. the house of Nieocles, intrimed him of the
king's wishes and ordeved him to take his own life.
At first he tried to defend himself agaiust the eharges,
but then, sinec no one heeded nns he slew hune j]f.
Axiothea, the wife of Nicoecles, on. learning of her
husbaud's death, slew. her. daughters, who were
unwed, im order that no enemy might possess them ;
and she urged the wives of Nicocles' brothers to
choose death along with her, although. Ptolemy had
given no instructions in regard to the women but had
agreed to their safcty. When the palaec had thus
bcen filled full of death and unforeseen disaster, the
brothers of Nicocles, aftev fastening the doors, set
fire to the building and slew ihemse es, Thus the
house of the kings of Paphos, after meeting such
tragic suffering, was brought to its end in the way
dcsenbed.

Now that we have followed to its end the tale of
what took place in Cyprus, we shall turn the course
of our narrative toward the events which follow.

was the eldest, had reccived the government from
his father, who had Been king for thirty-eight years ;
but Éumelus, after concluding a treaty of friendship
with some of the barbarians who lived near by and
collecting a strong army, set up a rival claim to the
throne. On learniug this, Satyrus set out against
him with a strong army ; and, after he had crossed
the. river hates * and. drawn near the. enemy, he
surrounded his eamp with the waggons in which he
earried his abundant supplies, and drew up his army
for battle, taking his own place in the centre of the
phalanx as is the Seythian custom. — Enrolled in his
army were not more than two thousand Greek mer-
cenaries and an equal number of Thraeians, but all
the rest were Seythian allies, more than twenty thou-
«and foot-soldiers and not less than ten thousand
horse. Eumelus, however, had as ally Aripharnes,
the king of the Siraces,? with twenty thousand horse
and twenty-two thousand foot. In à stubborn battle
that took plaee, Satyrus with picked cavalry about
him eharged against Áripharnes, who had stationed
himself in the middle of the line ; and after many had
fallen on both sides, he finally forced back and routed
the king of the barbarians. At first he pushed on,
saying the enemy as he overtook them ; but after
a little, hearing that his brother Eumelus was gaining

of whieh one was within the royal castle itself and
was strengthened with high towers and outworks, and
the other was on the opposite side in swampy land,
fortified by wooden palisades, and it rested upon piles
ab intervals and supported houses above the water.
Since the strength of the position was so great,
Sabtyrus at first plundered the country of the enemy
and fired. the vilages, from which he collected
prisoners and. much booty. Afterwards, however,
he attempted to make his way by force through the

it was necessary to Adv mee to reach the palace.
While this was being'energetically carried on, King
Avipharnes, alarmed lest his citadel should be taken
by storm, fought against him with great boldness
sinee he believed that in vietory alone lay hope of
safety. He stationed archers on both sides of the
passage, by whose aid he easily inflicted mortal
wounds on the men who were eut ting down the woods,
for because of the density of the (rees. they could
neither sec the missiles in time nor strike back at the
arehers.. The men of Satyrus for three days went on
cutting down the woods and 1iaking a roadway, bear-
ing up amid hardship ; on the fourth day they drew
near to the wall but they were overeome by the great
number of iissiles aud by the confined spacc, and
sustained great losses. Indeed, Meniscus, the leader
of the mercenaries, a mau excelling t1 sagacity and
boldness, after pushing forward thr ough the passage
to the wall and fighting brilliantly together with his
men, was forced to withdraw when a much stronger

Satyrus quiekly came to his aid ; but, while with-
standing the onrush of the enemy, he was wounded
with a spear through the upper arm. Crievously
disabled beeause of "the wound, he returned to the

camp and when night came on he died, having reigned
only nine months after the death of his father Pary-
sades, But Moeniscus, the leader of the mercenaries,

24. Prytanis, after celebrating à magnificent
funeral and placing thé body in the royal tombs, came
quickly to Gargaza and took over both the army and
the royal power. When Eumelus sent envoys to dis-
cuss a partition of the kingdom, he did not heed him
but he left a garrison in "Gargaza and returned to
Pantieapaeum in order to secure the royal preroga-
tives for himself. During this time. Eumelus. with
the eo-operation of the barbarians captured Gargaza
and several of the other cities and villages. When
Prytanis took the field against hin, Eumcelus de-
feated his brother in battle; and, after shutting
him up in the isthinus * near the Maeotie Lake, he
foreed. him to aecept terms aceording to whieh he
gave over his army and agreed to v acate his place
as king. — However, when Prytanis entered Panti-

capaeum, which had always been the capital of those
who had ruled in Bosporus, he tried to recover his
kingdom ; but he was overpowered and fled to the
S0- -called Gardens, where he was slain. — After his
brothers! death Eumcelus, wishing to establish his
power securely, slew the Tue dS of Satyrus and
Prytanis, and likewise their wives and children. The
only one to escape him was Parysades, the son of Saty-

from taxation that those who lived in Panticapaeum

and when the people of Callantia were besieged by
Lysimachus and were hard pressed by lack of food,!
he took under his care à thousand who had left their

them a safe place of refuge, but he gave them a city

of Egypt, hearing that his own generals had lost the
cities of Cilicia, sailed with an army to Phaselis and
took this city. 'Then, crossing into Lycia, he took by
storm Xanthus, which was garrisoned by Antigonus.
Next he sailed to Caunus * and won the eity ; and
violently attaeking the citadels, which were held by
garrisons, he stormed the Heraeleum, but he gained
possession of the Persieum when its soldiers delivered
it to hin. Thereafter he sailed to Cos and sent for
Ptolemaeus, who, although he was the nephew of
Antigonus and had been entrusted by him with an
army, had. deserted. his uncle and. was. offering. co-
operation to Ptolemy.*. When Ptolemaeus had sailed
from Chaleis and had. come to Cos, Ptolemy at first
received. him graeiously ; then, on diseovering that
he had become presumptuous and was trying to win
over the leaders to himself by conversing with them
and givinge them gifts, fearing lest he should devise
some plot, he forestalled this by arresting him and
compelled him to drink hemloek. As for the soldiers
who had followed Ptolemaeus, after Ptolemy had won
their favour through promises, he distributed them
among. the men of his own ammy.

BOOK XX. 38, 1—39. 1

Cassander arrived with his army. As the camps were 309 n c.

not far distant froin cach other and the Macedonians
regarded the restoration of the king without dis-
favour, Cassander, since he feared lest the Macedo-
nians, being by nature prone to change sides easily,
should sometime desert to Heracles, sent an embassy to
Polyperchon.. As for the king, Cassander tried to show
Polyperchon that if the restoration should take place
he would do what was ordered hy others ; but, he said,
if Polyperehon joined with hin and slew the stripling,
he would at onee recover what had formerly been
granted him throughout: Macedonia, and. then, after
receiving an army, he. would be appointed gencral
in the Pelopounesus and would be partner in every-
thing in. Cassander's realm, being honoured above all.
Finally he. won. Polyperehon over by many great
promises, made a secret: compact with him, and in-
dueed him to imurder the king.! When Polyperchon
had slain the youth and was openly co-operating with
Cassander, he recovered. the grants in. Macedonia
and also, aecording to the agreement, reccived four
thousand Maeedonian foot-soldiers and five hundred
Thessalian horse. Enrolling also those of the others
who wished, he attempted to lead them through
Boeotia into the Peloponnesus ; but, when he was
prevented by Boeotians and Peloponnesians, he
turned aside, advanced into Locris, and there passed
the winter.?

29. While these cveuts were talking place, Lysi-

pudicitia, 4(p. 530) ; Justin, 15. 2. 3. According to Justin,
15. 1. I1, Polyperehon was already dead at the time of the
murder.

? "he winter of 309/8 n.c.. 1Henceforth Polyperchon plays
& very minor part; in 303 n.c, he is mentioned as a supporter
of C'assander (chap. 103. 6-7).

foremost plaee with those who were regularly arrayed
about him, and he was followed by Deinocrates,! who
had received command of the cavalry. The main
body of the foot-soldiers was divided into two pha-
lanxes, one composed of the barbarians and one of
the Greck allies. Outside the ranks a mixed crowd
of rabble also followed. along for the sake of booty,

from. which the most. extreme dangers often. arisc.
And ou this occasion, since the roads were narrow aud
rough, the baggage train and some of the camp-
followers kept jostling each. other as they competed
for the right of way; and, since. the crowd was
pressed into à narrow space and for this reason some
became involved in brawls and many tried to help
each side, great confusion and tumult prevailed in
the army.

At this poiut the Syracusans who had occupied
FEuryelus, perceiving that the enemy were advancing
in confusion whereas they themsclves s occupied higher
positions, charged upon their opponents. Some of
them stood on "thé heights and sent missiles at those
who were coming up, some by occupying advantage-
ous positions blocked the barbarians from the passage,
and others forced the fleeing soldiers to cast them-
selves down the cliffs ; for on aceount of the darkness
and the lack of information the enemy supposed that
the Syracusans had arrived. with a large force for the

listed deception and terrain on their side ; so that
the saying is true that many are the empty alarms
of war.! 1

After the rout the Carthaginians, scattered some
here some there, were with difficulty gathered on
the next day ; and the Syracusans, returning to the
eity with much plunder, delivered Hamilear over to
those. who wished to take vengeanee upon him.
They recalled. also the. word. of the soothsayer. who
had said that Hamilear would enter Syracuse and
dine there on the next day, the divinity having pre-
sented the truth in disguise. The kinsgmen of the
slain, after leading Houanilel ar through the city in
bonds. and inflicting terrible torbures upon hin, put
him to death with the utmost indignities. 'Ihen the
rulers of the eiby cut off his head and dispatched men
to earry it into Libya to Agathocles and. report. to
him thé suecesses that had been gained.

31. When the Carthaginian amy after the disaster
had taken plaee learned. the cause of its misfortune,
it was with difficulty relieved from its fears. There
being no established commander, the barbarians
separated from the Greeks. "Then the exiles along
with the other Greeks elected Deinocrates general,
and the Carthaginians gave the eommand to those
who had been second in rank to Hamilcar.

About this time the Acragantines, seeing that the
situation in Sicily was most favourable for an attempt,
made a bid for the leadership of the whole island ;

scarcely sustain the war against Agathocles; that
Deinoerates was easy to conquer since he had col-
lected an army of exites ; that the people of Syracuse,
pinehed by famine, would not even try to compete
for the primacy ; and, what was most important, that
if they took the field to secure the independenee of
the cities, all would gladly answer the summons both
through hatred for the barbariaus and. through. the
desire: for self-goveriment thak. is implanted. in all

Gela, was. admitted. a& night by eertain personal
friends, and became master of the city together with
its strong, army aud ils wealth. "The people of Gela,
having been thus freed, joined in his eampaign very
eagerly and unanimously, and set about freeing the
cities. As news of the undertaking of the Acragan-
tines spread throughout the whole island, an impulse
toward liberty made itself manifest in the cities.
And first the people of Enna sent to the Acragantines
and delivered their city over to them ; and when

Erbessus, although a garrison stationed there was
keeping wateh over the city. After a bitter battle
had taken place in which the citizens aided the Acra-

many of the barbariaus fell, at least five hundred of
them laid down their avms and surrendered.

Agathocles, after seizing Echetla; plundered Leon- soo».

tini and Camarina. Since the cities were suffering
from the plundering of their fields and the destruction
of all their crops, Xenodicus entered the region and
freed the peoples of Leontini and Camarina from
the war: and after taking Echetla, a walled town,
hy siege, he re-established democracy fuor its citizens
and struek fear into the Syraeusans ; and, in general,
as he advaneed he liberated the strongholds and thc
eities from Carthaginian domination.

NLeantime the Sn 'aeusans, hard pressed by f£unine
and hearing that grain ships were about to make the
voyage to Syraeuse, manned. twenty triremes. and,
watehing (he barbarians. who. were accustomed. to
lie at anehor off the harbour to eateh them off guard,
sniled out unseen and coasted along to Megara
where they waited for the approach of the tr PUR
Afterwards, however, when the Carthaginians sailed
out against them with thirty ships, they first tried
to fight at sea, but were quickly driven to land and
leapt from their ships at a certain shrine of Hera.
Then a battle took place for the ships ; and the Car-
thaginians, d grappling ivons into the triremes
and with great force dragging them off from the
shore, prier ten ? of them, but the others were
saved by men who eame to the rescue from the
city.

And this was the condition of affairs in Sicily.

head of lMunilear had come into port, Agathocles
took the head and, riding near the hostile camp to

related to them the defeat of their expedition. The
Carthaginians, deeply grieved and prostrating them-
selves on the groundsin barbarian fashion, regarded
the death of the king as their own misfortune, and
they fell into deep despair in regard to the whole
war. But Agathocles, who was alre 'ady elated by his
successes in Libya, when sueh strokes of fortune were
now added, was borne aloft by soavingy hopes, thinking
himself. freed: from all. dangers. Fortune. notwitli-
standing did nob permit sueeess to. remain. long on

the prinee from his owu soldiers. lor Lycisceus, one
of Lhose who had been placed. in command, invited
lo dinner by Agathoeles, beemne drunk and insulted
the prinee,.— Now Agathocles, who valued the man
for his serviees in the war, turned aside with a joke
what had been said in bitterness ; but his son. Archa-
galhus,! becoming angry, ecnsured. and. threatened
Lyciseus. When the drinking was eoncluded and the
men were going away Lo their quarters, Lyciscus
l'aunted Archagathus on the seore of his adultery
with his stepmother ; for he was supposed to possess
ÁAleia, for this was the woman's name, without his
father's knowledge. — Archagathus, driven into an
overpowering rage, seized a spear from one of the
guard and thrust Lyciscus through his ribs. Now he
died at onee and was carried away to his own tent
by those whose task it was; but at daybreak the
friends of the murdered man came together, and
many of the other soldiers hastened to join them,
and all were indignant at what had happened and
filled the camp with uproar. Many, too, of those who

ject to accusation and feared for themselves, turned
the crisis to their own advantage and kindled no incon-
siderable sedition. When the whole army was full of
indignation, the troops severally donued full annour
to punish the murderer ; and finally the mob made
up its mind that Archagathus should be put to death,
and that, if Agathoeles did not surrender his son,
he himself should pay the penalty in his placc.
And they also kept demanding the pay that was due
Lhem, and they elected. gene on to lead the : amy ;
and finally some of them seized the. walls of "Tunis
and surrounded. the. princes. with. guards on. every
side.

bl. The Carthagiuiaus, on learning of the discord
among. the enemy, sent men. to them. urging them
to echange sides, ànd promised to give them greater
pay and noteworthy bonuses.! And indeed. many
of the leaders did agree to take the army over to
them ;. but Agathocles, seeing that his safety was
in the balanee and fearing that, if he should be de-
livered to the enemy, he would end his life amid
insults, decided that it was better, if he had to suffer,
to die at the hands of his own men. Therefore,
putting aside the purple and donning the humble
garb of a privake citizen, he came out into the middle
of the crowd. Silenee fell because his action was
unexpected, and when a erowd had run together, he
delivered a speech suitable to the critical situation.
After recalling his c Pod achievements, he said that
he was ready to die if that should seem best for hís
fellow soldiers; for never had he, constrained by

cowardice, cousented to endure any indignity through a00 s.c.
love of life. And declaring that they themselves were
witnesses of this, he bared his sword as if to slay
himself. When he wwms on the point of striking the
blow, the army shouted bidding him stop, and from
every side came voices clearing him from the charges.
And when the erowd kept pressing him to resume
his royal garb, he put on the dress of his rank, weeping
and thanking the people, the. erowd meauwhile ac-
claiming his restoration with a elash of arms. While
the. Carthaginians were waiting intentlv, expeetiug
that the Greeks would very s00n come over to then,
Agathoeles, not missing the opportunity, led his army
against them. The barbariaus, believing that their op-
ponents were deserting Eo them, had no idea at all of
what had actually taken place; and when Agathocles
had drawn near the enemy, he suddenly ordered thc
signal for battle to be given, fell upon. them, and
created great havoc, The Carthaginians, stanned by
the sudden reversal, lost many of their soldiers and
fled into their eamp. — Thus Agathocles, after having
fallen into the most extreme danger on account of his
son, through. his own excellence not only found à way
out of his diffieulties, but even defeated the enemy.
Those, however, who were ehiefly responsible for the
sedition and any of the others who were hostile to
the prince, more than two hundred in number, found
the courage to desert to the Carthaginians,

Now that we have completed the aceount of events
in Libya aud in Sicily,! we shall relate what took place
in Italy.

the Samnites at this time, when the Roman army was

therefore, were foreed to divide their armies ; Fabius
remained in Etruria, but Marcius, setting out against
the Samnites, took the city Allifae by storm and freed

Quintus Fabius! ; and in Elis the Olympian Games aos i.c

were celebrated for the one hundred aud eighteenth
time, at which celebration Apollonides of Tegea won
the foot racc. Atthis time,? while Ptolemy was
sailing from Myndus with a strong fleet through the
islands, he liberated Andros as he passed by and drove
out the garrison. Moving on to the Isthmus, he took
Sieyon «nd Corinth from Ct atesipolis. Sinee the
causes [hat explain her becoming ruler of famous
cities were made elear iu the. preceding. Book,?. we
shall refrain from again diseussing the same subject.
Now Ptolemy planned to free the other Greek cities
also, thinking that the goodwill of the Greeks would
be a great gain for him in his own undertakings ; but
when the Pe Joponnesians, having agreed to contribute
food. and. money, contributed nothing of what had
been promised, the prince in anger made peace with
Cassander, by the terms of which peace each prince
was to remain master of the cities that he was hold-
ing; and after securing Sicyon and Corinth with a
garrison, Ptolemy departed for Egypt.

Meanwhile Cleopatra quarrelled with Antigonus
and, inclining to east her lot with Ptolemy, she
started from Sardis in order to eross over to him. She
was the sister of Alexander the conqueror of Persia
and daughter of Philip, son of Amyntas, and had been
the w ife of the Alexander who made an expedition
probably invented to aecomimnodate two systenis of. chrono-
logy, ep. Introduction to. Vol, IX. and 11, Stuart Jones in

consuls for 308 n.c. are given in the l'asti as P. Decius Mus

Cassander and Lysimachus, as well as Antigonus and
Ptolemy and in general all the leaders who were most
important after Aleshnder's death, sought her hand ;
for each of them, hoping that the Macedonians would
follow the lead of this marriage, was seeking alliance
with the royal house in order thus to gain supreme
power for himself. "The governor of Sardis, who had
orders from Antigonus to wateh Cleopatra, prevented
her departure ;. but: later, as commanded by tho
prinee, he treachlierously brought about her death
through the ageney of ecrtain women. But Antigonus,
not wishing the murder to be laid at his door, punished
some of the women for having plotted. against her,
and took eare that the funeral should be eondueted
in royal fashion. "Thus Cleopatra, after having been
the prize in a eontest armuong the most eminent
leaders, met this fate before her marriage was brought
to pass.

Now that we have related the events of Asia and
of Greece, we shall turn our narrative to the other
parts of the inhabited world?

an army to win over the Nomads who had deserted,
Agathoeles left his son Archagathus before Tunis
with part of the army, but he himself, selecting the
strongest men-—eight thousand foot, eight hundred
horse, and fifty Libyan chariots—followed after the

Carthaginians withstood Agathocles' heavy armed
men as they advanced. Although they struggled
brilliantly, most of vthese Greeks were slain while
fighting gallantly, and those who survived were saved
by mere chance.
99. Agathocles, giving up the pursuit of the cavalry,
attacked the barbarians who had taken refuge in the
amp 3 and, since he had to foree his way over terrain
steep and difficult of aecess, he suffered losses no less
greak than. those. he inflieted on the. Carthaginians.
Nevertheless, he did not slacken his zeal, but rat ther,
made confident by his victory, pressed on, expecting
to take the eamp by storm. At this the Nomads who
were awaiting the outcome of the battle, not being
able to fall on the baggage train of the Carthaginians
since both armies were fighting near the camp, made
in abtack on the ene: ampment of the Gr ceks, knowing
that Agathocles had been drawn off to a. great dis-
tanec. Since the camp was without defenders capable
of warding them off, they easily launched an attack,
killing the few who resisted them and gaining pos-
session of a large number of prisoners aud of booty as
well. On hearing this Agathocles led his army back
quickly and recovered some of the spoil, but most
of it the Nomads kept in their possession, and as night
eame on they withdrew to a distance. "The prince,
after setting up a trophy, divided the booty among
the soldiers so that no one might complain about his
losses ; but the captured Greeks, who had been
fighting for the Carthaginians, he put into & cer-

to the Athenians an envoy to confer about an alliance,
for Ophellas had married Euthydicó,! the daughter
of a Miltiades who &raced that name back to him
who had commanded the victorious troops at Mar:

marks of favour which he had habitually displayed
toward their city, a. good many of the Athenians

paign had been pr cpared magnificently; set out with
his army, having more than ten thousand foot-soldiers,
six hundred HOPSe eut a hundred chariots, and more
than three hundred charioteers and men to fight

both sides but with a deep ravine in the centre, from
which extended a smooth rock that rose up to a lofty
peak. At the baseeof this rock was a large cave
thiekly covered with ivy and bryony, in which accord-
ing to myth had been born Lamia, à queen of sur-
passing beauty. Dut on account of the savagery of
her heart they say that the time that has pos
sinee has. transformed her face to a bestial aspect.
For when all the children: born. to her had. died
weighed. down in her misfortune. and. envying the
happines s of all other women in their alilliron, she
ordered. that the new-born babies be snatehed from
Lheir mothers" arms and straightway slain, Where-
fore «nong us even down to the present generation,
the story of this woman remains among the children
and her name is nost terrifying to them.*. But when-
ever she drank frecly, she gave to all the opportunity
to do what they pleased. unobserved. — Therefore,
«nee she did not trouble herself about what was
taking plaee at such times, the people of the land
a sumed that she could not see. And for that reason
some tell in the myth that she threw her eyes into
a flask? metaphorically burning the earelessness that
is most complete amid wine into the aforesaid
measure, sinee it was a measure of wine that took
away her sight. Que might also present Euripides
given to Duris (FC/r/f, 76. F 17), whom Diodorus is probably
following here.

* 'lhis was beeause of the jealous wrath of Itera, the l'ather
of the STER being Zeus.

? Strabo, 1. 2. H, lists this myth «mong those used to
frighten children. Cp. Tlorace, «rt of Doctry, 340.

4 Plutarch, On. Curiosity, 2 (p. 516), says that she took

her eycs out of her head. when she wished to rest at home and
replaced them when she went abroad.

. Now Ophellas ^with his army was advancing
i great difficulty through a waterless land filled
with savage creatures ; for not only did D lack water,
but since dry food also gave out, he was in danger
of losing his entire amy. l'anged nuns of all
kinds i iicut the desert near the Syrtis, and the bite
of most of these is fatal ; therefore it was a. great
disaster into which they were fallen. since they were
not helped by remedies supplied by physicians and
friends. | For some of the serpents, since they had a
skin very like in appearance to the. ground that was
beneath them, made their own forms invisible ; and
many of the men, treading upon these in ignorance,
received bites that were fatal. Final y after suffering
great hardships on. the mareh for more than two
months, they with difficulty completed the journey
to Agathocles and encamped, keeping the two forces
4 short distance apart.

The Carthaginians, on hearing of their presence,
were panic stricken, secing that so great a force had
arrived against them ; but " Agathocles, p going to meet
Ophellas "and generously furnishing all needed sup-
plies, begged hím to relieve his army ; from its distress.
He himself remained for some days and carefully

new arrivals. When the larger part of the soldiers sus i.
had scattered to find fodder and food, and when he

saw that Ophellas had no suspicion of what he himself
had planned, he sumneoned an. assembly of his own
soldiers and, after accusing the man who had come
to join the allianee as if he were plotting against
himself and thus rousing the anger of his men,
siraightway led his army in full array against the
Cyreneans. PFhen Ophellas, stunned by this un-
expected. aetion, attempted. to defend himself ; but,
pressed for time, the forees that he had remaining in
eiump not beimg adequate, he. died. fighting. Asa-
lhocles. forced. the. vest of the army to lay down dts
arms, and by winning them all over with generous
promises, he became master of the whole : army. Thus
Ophelas, who had cehevished. great hopes and. had
'ashly entrusted. himself to another, met an. end so
inglorious.!

48. In Carthage Bormilear, who had long plamed
to make an attempt ab tyvanny, was sceking a proper
ocension for his private schemes. "Time and again
when cireumstauces put him in a position to carry out
what he had planned, some little cause intervened
to thwart him.* For those who are about to undertake
liwless and important enterprises are superstitious
and always choose delay rather than action, and post-
pouement rather than accomplishment. This hap-
pened also on this oceasion and in regard to this man ;

of Agathoeles, is probably drawn from Duris, as a part of
it quite certainly is (ep. note on ehap. 4t. 3).

? For ehaps. 43-4 ep. Justin, 92. 7. 6-11, who says that
Bormilear, after Agathocles had inflieted severe losses on the
o nne wished to. go over to. Agathoeles with his
army, was prevented by a sedilion in ihe Sieilian camp, ard
was put to death by his fellow citizens.

for he sent out the most distinguished of the citizens 808 v.

to the campaign against the Nomads so that he might
have no man of consequence to oppose him, but he
did not venture to mike an open bid for the tyranny,
being held back by caution. But it happened that
at the time when Agathocles attacked Ophellas,
Bormilear made his effort to gain the tyranny, each
of the two being ignorant of what the enemy was
doing. Agathocles did not know of the attempt at.
tyranny and of the eonfusion in the city when he
might easily have become master of Carthage, for
when Bormilcar was discovered iu the aet he would
have preferred to co-operate with Agathocles rather
than pay the penalty in his own person to the citizens.
And again, the Carthaginians had not heard of
Agathocles' attack, for they might easily have over-
powered hin with the aid of the army of Ophellas.
But I suppose that not without reason did such ignor-
ance prevail on both sides, although the actions were
on à large scale and those who had undertaken deeds
of such daring were near each other. TY'or Agathocles,
when about to kil a man who was his friend, paid
attention to nothing that was happening among his
enemies ; and Bormilear, when depriving his father-
land of its liberty, did not concern himself at all with
cvents in the camp of the enemy, since be had as a
fixed purpose in his mind to conquer at the time, not
his enemies, but his fellow citizens.

At this point one might censure the art of history,
when he observes that in life many different actions
are consummated at the same time, but that it is
necessary for those who record them to interrupt the

After these had occupied a certain elevation, the
Carthaginians, now tha all the citizens had assembled
in arms, drew up their forces against those who had
taken part inthe uprising. PF inally, sending as envoys
such of the oldest men as were qualified and offering
amnesty, they came to terms. Against the rest they
invoked no penalty on aecount of the dangers that
surrounded. the city, but they eruelly tortured Bor-
milear himself and put in to death, paying no
heed. to. the oaths which had been given. Iu this
way, then, the Carthaginians, after having bcen iu
the. graves: danger, preserved the constitution of
their fathers.

Agnathocles, loading cargo vessels with his spoil and
embarking on them those of the men who had come
from. Cyr ené who were useless for war, sent them to
Syracuse. Dut storms arose, and some of the ships
were destroyed, some were driven to the Pithecusan
Islands off the coast of Italy, and a few came safe to
Syracuse.!

In Italy ? the Roman consuls, going to the aid of
in Marsi, against whom the Samnites were making

'ar, were victorious in the battle and slew many
o the enemy. "Then, crossing the territory of the
Umbrians, they invaded Etruria, which was hostile,
and took by siege the fortress called Caerium.? When
the people of the region sent envoys to ask a truce,
the consuls made a truce for forty years with the
Tarquinians but with all the other Etruscans for one
year.!

45. When that year had come to an end, Anaxi- sonne.
crates was archon in Athens and in Rome Appius
Claudius and Lucigs Volumnius became consuls.
While these held office, Demetrius, the son of Anti-
gonus, having reccived from his father strong land
and sea forces, also a suitable supply of missiles and
of the other things requisite for carrying on a siege,
set sail from. Ephesus. He had instructions to free
all the cities throughout Greece, but first of all
Athens, which was held hy a. garrison of Cassander.?
Sailing into the Peiraeus with his forees, he at onec
made an attaek on all sides and issued a proclama-
tion? Dionysius, who had been plaeed in command
of the garrison on. Munychia, and. Demetrius. of
Phalerum, who bad been made military governor
of the eity * by Cassander, resisted him from the
walls with many soldiers. Some of Antigonus! men,
attaeking with violenee and effecting an entrance
along the coast, admitted many of their fellow
soldiers within the wall. The result was that in this
way the Peiraeus was taken ; and, of those within
it, Dionysius the commander fled to Munychia and
Demetrius of Phalerum withdrew into the city. On
the next day, when he had been sent with others as
envoys by the people to Demetrius and had discussed
the independence of the city and his own security,
he obtained a safe-conduct for himself and, giving

continued from chap. 37. 6.

up the direction of Athens, fled to Thebes and later so; s.

into Egypt to Ptolemy. And so this man, after he
had been director of the city for ten years, was driven
from his fatherland in the way described. The
Athenian people, having recovered their freedom,
decreed honours to those responsible for their libera-
tion.

Demetrius, however, bringing up ballistae and the
other engines of war and missiles, assaulted Munychia
both by "land and by sea, When those within de-
fended themselves stoutly from the walls, it turned
out that Dionysius had the advantage of the difficult
terrain and. the greater height of his position, for
Munychia was strong both by nature and by the
fortifications which had been constructed, but that
Demetrius was many times superior in the number
of his soldiers and had a great advantage in his
equipment. Finally, after the attack had continued
unremittingly for two days, the defenders, severely
wounded by the catapults and. the ballistae and not
having any men to relieve them, had the worst of it ;
and the men of Demetrius, who were fighting in
relays and were continually relieved, after the wall
had been cleared by the ballistae, broke into Muny-
chia, foreed the garrison to lay dom its arms, and
took the commander Dionysius alive.?

kG. After gaining these successes in a few days and

'azing Munychíia completely, Demetrius restored to
the people their freedom and established friendship
and an alliance with them. The Athenians, Stratocles

of Antigonus and Demetrius in à chariot near the
statues of Harmodius and Aristogeiton, to give them
both honorary crowns &t a cost of two hundred talents,
to consecrate an altar to them and call it the altar
of the Saviours, to add to the ten tribes two more,
Demetrias and Antigonis, to hold annual games in
their honour with a procession and a sacrifice, and
to weave their portraits in the peplos of Athena.
Thus the eommon people, deprived of power in
the Lamian War by Antipater, fifteen. years. after-
wirds unexpectedly recovered the constitution of the
fathers. Although Megara was held hy a garrison,
Dometrius took it by siege, restored. their autonomy
to its people, and rece ved noteworthy honours from
those whom he had served.?

When an embassy had come to Antigonus from
Atheus and had delivered to him the decree concern-
iug the honours conferred upon him and discussed with
him the problem of grain and oftimber for ships, he gave
to them one hundred and fifty thousand medimni '
of grain and timber sufficient for one hundred ships ;
he also withdrew his garrison from Imbros and gave
the city back to the Athenians, He wrote to his son
Demetrius ordering him to call together counsellors

a battle of short duration which occurred, the forces
of Menelaüs were qyerwhelned and routed ; and
Demetrius, pursuing the enemy into the city, took
prisoners numbering not much less than three thou-
sand and killed about a thousand. At first he freed
the captives of all charges and distributed them among
the units of his own soldiers ; but when they ran off
to Menelaüs because their baggage had been left
behind in Egypt with. Ptolemy, recognizing that they
would not ehange sides, he foreed. them to. embark
on his ships and sent them off to Antigonus in Syria.

At this time. Antigonus was tarrying in upper
Syria, founding a city on the Orontes River, which
he called Antigonia after himself. Ife laid it out
on & lavish seale, making its perimeter seventy
stades?; for the location was naturally well adapted
for waiching over Babylon and the upper satrapies,
and again for keeping an cye upon lower Syria and
the satrapies near Egypt? It happened, however,
that the city did not survive very long, for Seleucus
dismantled it and transported it to the city which
he founded and called Seleucea after himself. But

Menelaüs, after having been defeated in the battle,
had missiles and engines brought to the walls, assigned
positions on the bat*&lements to his soldiers, and made
ready for the fight ; and since he saw that Demetrius
was also making preparations for siege, he sent mes-
sengers into E gypt to Ptolemy to inform him about
the defeat and to ask him to send aid as his interests
on the island were in danger.

48. Since Deinetrius saw that the city of the Sala-
minians was not to be despised aud that a large foree
was in the city defending it, he determined to prepare
siege engines of very gr cat size, catapults for shooting
bolts and ballistae o£ all kinds, ünd the other equip-
ment that would strike terror. Ie sent for skilled
workmoeu from Asia, and for iron, likewise for a large
amount of wood and for the proper coinplement of
other supplies. When everything was quickly made
ready for him, he constructed. à device called the

' helepolis," * which had a length of forty-five cubits
on each side aud a height of ninety cubits. It was
divided into nine storeys, and the whole was mounted
on four solid wheels eaeh eight cubits high. He also
constructed very large ba ttering rams and two pent-
houses to carry them. On the lower levels of the
helepolis he mounted all sorts of ballistae, the largest.
of them capable of hurling missiles weighing three
talents ! ; on the. middle levels he placed the largest

* Literally, " ecily-taker." Cp. ehap. 91. Ifthe cubit used
is Lhe standard Attic measure of about 11 feet, the dimensions
given are about 68 feet on each side and 135 feet in height,
with wheels [2 feet in dismeler ; hut a shorter Macedonian
eubit, perhaps about one foot long, is DE (Tarn, JTel-

and a large number of ballistae ; and he also stationed
on the helepolis rgore than two hundred men to
operate these engines in the proper manner.

Bringing the engines up to the city and hurling
a shower of missiles, he cleared the battlements with
the ballistae and nttered the walls with the rams.
Since those within resisted boldly and opposed his
engines of war with other devices, for some days the
battle was doubtful, both sides suffering pora
and severe wounds ; and when finally the wall wa
falling and the city was in danger of being taken "
storm, the assault was interrupted by the coming of
night. Moenelaiüs, seeing cleavly that the city would
be taken unless he tried something new, gathered a
large amount of dry wood, at about midnight threw
this upon the siege engines of the enemy, and at the
same time all shot down fire-bearing arrows from the

walls and set on fire the largest of the siege engines.
As the flames suddenly blazed high, Demetrius tried
to come to the rescue ; but tho flames got the start
of him, with the result that the engines were com-
pletely destroyed and many of those who manned
them were lost. Demetrius, although disappointed
in his expectations, did not stop but pushed the siege
persistently by both land and sea, believing that he
would overcome the enemy in time.

he sailed from Egypt with considerable land and
sea forces, Reaching Cyprus at Paphos, he received

which was distant from Salamis two hundred stades.!
He had in all one huxylred and forty ? ships of war, of
which the largest were quinqueremes and the smallest
quadriremes ; more than two hundred transports
followed, which carried at least ten thousand foot-
soldiers. Ptolemy sent certain men to Moenelaiis by
land, directing him, if possible, to send him quickly
(he. ships from Salamis, which numbered sixty ; for
he hoped that, if he veccived these as reinforcement,
he would easily be superior in the naval engagement
since he would have two hundred ships in the battle.
Learning of his intention, Demetrius left a part of his
forees for the siege ;. and, manning, all his ships and
embarking upon them the best of his soldiers, be
equipped them with missiles and ballistae and mounted
on the prows a sufficient number of eatapults for
throwing bolts three spans ? inlength. After making
the fleet ready in every way for à naval battle, he
sailed around the city and, anchoring at the mouth
of the harbour just out of range, spent the night,
preventing the ships from the city from joining the
others, and at the same time watehing for the coming
of the enemy and occupying a position ready for
hattle;. When Ptolemy sailed up toward Salamis,
the service vessels following at a distance, his fleet
was awe-inspiring to behold because of the multitude
of its ships.

50. When Demetrius observed Ptolemy's approach,
hc left the admiral Antisthenes with ten of the

distanee by land; but the distance by sea around Cape
Pedalium is at least twice as great.
2 Plutarch, Demetrius, 16. 1, gives the number as 150.

pared for the battle, Ordering the supply ships to
follow at a distance apnd effecting a suitable formation
of the other ships, he ME took command of the left
wing with the largest of his warships fighting under
him. After the fleet had been disposed in this way,
both sides prayed to the gods as was the custom, the
signualmen * leading and the erews joining in the
response.

51. The princes, sinee they were about to fight for
their lives and their all, were ininuceh anxiety. When
Demetrius was about three stades ? distant from the
enemy, he raised the battle signal that had been
agreed upon, a gilded shield, and this «ign was made
known to all by being repeated in relays. Sinee
Ptolemy also gave a similar signal, the distance be-
tween the flects was apidly reduced. When the
trumpels gave the signal fov battle and both forces

'"nised the battle ery, all the ships rushed to the en-
counter in a terrifying manner ; using their bows and
their ballistae at first, then their javelins in a shower,
the men wounded those who were within range;
Lhen when the ships had eoine close together and the
eneounter was about to lake plaee with violence,
the soldiers ón the decks erouched down and the oars-
men, spurred on by the signalmen, bent more des-
perately to their oars..— As thé ships drove together
with force aud violence, in some cases they swept ott
each other's oars so that, the ships becamo useless for
flight or pursuit, and the men who were on board,
though eager for a fight, were prevented from joining

charge, and the soldiers on board shot at each other
with effect since the mark was elose at hand for each
party. Some of the*men, when their captains had
delivered a broadside blow and the rams had become
finuly fixed, leaped aboard the ships of the enemy,
receiving and giving severe wounds ; for eertain of
them, after grasping the rail of a ship that was draw-
ing near, inssed their footing, fell into the sea, and
ab onee were killed with spears by those who stood
above them 5. and. others, making good their intent,
slew some of the enemy and, foreing others along the
uarrow deck, drove them into the &ea.. Ása whole the
fighling was varied and full of surprises : many times
Lhose who were. weaker got the upper hand because
of the height of their ships, and those who were
stronger were foiled by inferiority of position and by
the irregularity with which things happen in fighting
of this kind. l'or in contests on land, valour is | made
clearly evident, sinee it is able to gain the upper hand
when nothing external and fortuitous interferes ;
but in naval battles there are many causes of various
kinds that, contrary to reason, defeat those who would
properly gain the vietory through prowess.

protected him with shields, one fell struck by a
lance and the other two were severely wounded.
F'inally Demetrius elrove back the forces confront-
ing him, created a rout in the right wing, and forth-
with forced even the ships next to the wing to flee.
Ptolemy, who had with himself the he avicst of his
ships and the strongest men, easily routed those
stationed. opposite him, sinking some of the ships
and eapturing others with their erews. "urning back
from that vieborious. action, he expected. asily to
subdue the others also; but when he sauw that the
right wing of his forces had been shattered. aud. all
those next to that wing driven into flight, and further,
lhat Demetrius was pressing on. with full force, he
sailed back to Citium.

Demetrius, after winning the vietory, gave the
transports to Neon and Burichus, ordering "them to
pursue and pick up those who were swimming in the
sea ; and he himself, decking his own ships with bow
and stern ornaments and towing the captured craft,
sailed to his camp and his home port. At the time
of the naval battle M.enelaüs, the general in Salamis,
had manned his sixty ships and sent them as a rein-
forcement to Ptolemy, placing Menoetius in com-
mand. When a battle occurred at the harbour mouth
with the ships on. guard there, and when the ships
from the city pressed forward vigorously, Demetrius"
ten ships fled to the camp of the army ; and Menoe-
tius, after sailing out and arriving a little too latc,
returned to Salamis.

more than a hundred of the supply ships were taken, 307 s.c.
upon which were almost eight thousand soldiers, and

of the warships forty were captured with their crews

and about eighty w$re disabled, which the victors
towed, full of sea water, to the camp before the city.
Twenty of Demetrius! ships were disabled, but all of
these, after receiving proper care, continued to per-

form the services for which they were suited.

52. Thereafter Ptolemy gave up the fight in
Cyprus and returned to Egypt. Demetrius, after he
had. taken over all the cities of the island and their
garrisons, enrolled the mien in companies ; and when
they were organized they came to sixteen thousand
foot and about six hundred horse. He at ounce sent
messengers to his father to infomn him of the suc-
eesses, embarking them on his largest ship. And
when Antigonus hcard of the victory that had been
gained, elated by the magnitude of his good fortune,
he assumed the diadem and from that time on he
used the style of king ; and he permitted Demetrius
also to assume this same title and rank. Ptolemy,
however, not at all humbled in spirit by his defeat,
also assumed the diadem and always signed himself
king.! And in a similar fashion in rivalry with them
the rest of the prinees also called themselves kings :
Seleucus, who had recently gained the upper satrapies,
ind Lysimachus and Cassander, who still retained the
territories originally allotted to them.?

Now that we have said enough about these matters,
we shall relate in their turn the events that took place
in Libya aud in Sicily.

* Ptoleniy's assumption of the diadem is placed in the year
305/4 by the Parian Marble, FGrIT, 239. B 93.

54. When Agathocles heard that the princes whom 307 s.c.

we have just mentioned had assumed the diadem,
since he thought that neither in power nor in territory
nor in deeds was he "inferior to them, he called him-
self king. IIe decided not to take a diadem ; for
he habitually wore a chaplet, which at the time when
he seized the tyranny was his because of some priest-
hood and which he did uot give up while he was
struggling to gain the supreme power. But some say
that he originally had made it his habit to wear this
because he did not have à good head of hair! How-
ever this may be, in his desire to do something worthy
of this title, he made a eampaign against the people
of Utiea, who had deserted hin? /— Making a sudden
attaek upon their city and taking prisoner those of
the citizens who were caught in the open country to
the number of three. hundred, he. at first offered a
free. pardon and requested the surrender of the
city ; but when those in the city did not heed his
offer, he construeted a siege engine, hung the
prisoners upon it, and brought it up to the walls. The
Uticans pitied the unfortunate men; yet, holding
the liberty of all of more account than the safety of
these, they assigned posts on the walls to the soldiers
and bravely awaited the assault. 'Then Agathocles,
placing upon the engine his catapults, slingers, and
bowmen, and fighting from this, began the assault,
applying, as it were, branding-irons to the souls of

Caesar welcomed the right to wear a laurel wreath (Sue-
tonius, Dirus Julius, 45. 9).

? Dut, aecording to Polybius, 1. 82. 8, Utica and Hippu
Acra (ep. ehap. 55. 3) were the only cities that had remained
true to Carthage.

those within the city. Those standing on the walls 807 u..

at first hesitated to use their missiles since the targets
presented to them ware their own fellow-countrymen,
of whom some were indced the most distinguished
of their citizens ; but when the enemy pressed on
more heavily, they were forced to defend themselves

against those who manned the engine. As a result
there came unparalleled suffering and despiteful
treatineut of fortune to the men of Utica, placed as
they were in dire strails from. whieh. there was no
eseape ; for sinee Ehe Greeks had set: up before them
as shields the men of Utica who had been eaptured,
ib was necessary either to spare these and ídly wateh
the fatherland. fall into the hands of the. enemy or,
in protecting the city, to slaughter mereilessly a large
number of unfortunate fCllos citizens. — And this,
indeed, is what took place ; for as they resisted the
enemy and employed missiles of every kind, they
shot down some of the men who were stationed on
the engine, and they also mangled some of their
fellow citizens who were hanging there, and others
they nailed to the engine with their bolts at whatever
places on the body the missiles ehanced to st rike, so
that the wanton violence and the punishment almost
amounted to erucifixion, And this fate befell some
ab the hands of kinsmen and frieuds, if so it chanced,
sineec necessity is not euriously concerned for what
is holy among men.

55. But when Agathocles saw that they were cold-
bloodedly intent on fighting, he put his army in
position to attaek from every side and, forcing an
entrance at a point where the wall had been poorly
construeted, broke into the city. As some of the
Uticans fled into their houses, others into temples,

Agathocles, enraged as he was against them, filled sor s.

the city with slaughter. Some he killed in hand-to-
hand fighting ; those who were captured he hanged,
and those who had fled to temples and altars of the
gods he cheated of their hopes. When he had sacked
the movable property, he left a garrison in possession
of the city, and led his army into position against the
place ealled Hippu Aera,! whieh was made naturally
strong by the marsh that lay before it; After laying
siege to this with vigour and getting the better of its
people in a naval battle, he took it by storm. When
he had eonquered. the cities in. this way, he became
master both of most of the places along the sca and
of the peoples dwelling in the interior except the
Nomads, of whom some arrived at terms of friendship
with him and some awaited the final issue. For four
stoeks have divided Libya : the Phoenicians, who at
that time oecupied Carthage ;. the. Libyphoenicians,
who have many citics along the sea and. intermarry
with the Carthaginians, and who received this name
as à result of the interwoven ties of kinship. Of the
inhabitants the raee that was most numerous and
oldest was called Libyan, and they hated the Cartha-
ginians with a special bitterness because of the weight
of their overlordship ; and last were the Nomads, who
pastured their herds over a large part of Libya as
far as the desert.

Now that Agathocles was superior to the Cartha-
ginians by reason of his Libyan allies and his own
armies but was much troubled about the situation
in Sicily, he constructed light ships and penteconters

aud placed upon them two thousand soldiers.) Leaving ao7 ».c.
his son Agatharchus * in command of affairs in. Libya,
he put out with his ships aud made the voyage to
nieily.

5G. While this was happening, Xenodoeus, the
general of the. Aeragautines, having freed many. of
Ihe eities and roused in the Sieilians great hopes of
aubonomy throughout the whole island, led his army
agaiust the. generals of Agathoeles. — It consisted. of
more than teu thousand. foot-soldiers and nearly
à thousand horsemen. Leptines and. Demophilus,
assembling from Syracuse and the fortresses as many
men as they could, took up a position opposite him
with eighty-two hundred foot-soldiers and twelve
hundred horse. Tn a bitter fight that ensued, Xeno-
docus was defeated and fled to. Acragas, losing not

ever, and the guard came to the. defenee, he v
thrown out of the eity, losing more than five iudi
of his soldiers, — Thereupon, men from Apollonia
having invited him and promised to betray their
fatherland, he eame to thak eity.. As the traitors had
beeome known and had been punished, he attacked
the eity but: without. effect. for the first day, and on
the next, after suffering heavily and losing a large
number of men, he. barely succeeded. in taking it.
After slaughtering most of the Apolloniates, he
pluudered. their possessions.

57. While Agathoeles was engaged on these
matters, Deinocrates, the lcader of the exiles, taking
over the poliey of the Acragantines and. proclaiming
himself ehampion of the common liberty, caused many
to flock to him from all sides ; for some eagerly gave
ar Eo. his appeals because of the desire for indepen-
dence inborn in all men, and others because of their
fcar of Agathocles. When Deinocrates had collected
almost d enty thousand foot-soldiers and fifteen
hundred mounted men, all of them men who had had
uninterrupted experience of exile and. hardship, he
camped in the open, challenging the tyrant to battle.
However, when Agathoeles, who was far inferior in
strength, avoided battle, he steadily followed on his
heels, having secured his victory without a struggle.

only in Sicily but also in Libya, suffered a change for sur i.c.
the worse. Archagathus, who had been left by him
as general, after the departure of his father at first
gained some advantage by sending into the inland
regions & partb of the- army under the coninand. of
Eumachus. "This leader, after talking the rather large
eity of "l'ocae, won over many of the Nomads who
dwelt near by. Then, capturing another city called
Phelliné, he foreed the submission of those who used
the. adjacent counlry as pasture, men called the
Asphodelodes,! who are similar to the. Ethiopians in
colour. The third city that he took was Meschela,
whieh was very large and had been founded long ago
by the Greeks who werc returning from "Troy, about

whom we have already spoken in the third Book.?
Next he took the plaee called Hippu Aera, which
has the same name as that captured by storm by
Agathocles,? and finally the free city called Acris,
which he gave to his soldiers for plundering after he
had enslaved the peoplo.^

58. After sating his army with booty, he retumed
to Archagathus ; and since he had gained a name for
good serviec, he again led an army into the inland
regions of Libya. "Pas issing by the cities that he had
previously mastered, he gained an entrance into the
city called Miltinó, having appeared before it without
warniug ; but when the barbarians gathered together
against him and overpowered him in the strects, he

was, to his great surprise, driven out and lost many
of his men. Departing thence, he marched through

a high mountain range that extended for about two 307 xc.
hundred stades! and was full of wildeats,? in which,
accordingly, no birds whatever nested either among
the trees or the rafines because of the rapacity of
the aforementioned beasts. Crossing. this range, he
'ame out into à eountry containing à large number
of apes and to three cities called from these beasts
Pilhecusae, if the name is translated into the Greek
language. ln these cities many of the eustoms were
very different from those eurrent among us, l'or the
apes lived. in the same houses as the men, being
regarded among them as gods, just as the dogs are
unong the Egyptians, and from the provisions laid
up in the storerooms the beasts took their food
without hindranee whenever they wished. Parents
usually gave their children names taken from the
apes, Just as we do from the gods. l'or any who killed
this animal, as if he had committed the greatest
sacrilege, death was established as the penalty. For
Lhis reason, among some there was current a pro-
verbial saying about those slain with impunity that
they were paying the penalty for a monkey's blood.
However this may be, Eumachus, after taking one
of these cities by storm, destroyed it, but the other
two he won over by persuasion. When, however, he
heard that the neighbouring barbarians were collect-
ing great forces against him, he pushed on more
vigorously, having decided to go back to the regions
by the sea.

been satisfactory to Archagathus. But after this the 207 i.c.

senate in Carthage took &ood counsel about the war
and the senators. decided to form three armies and
send them forth from the city, one against the cities
of the coast, one into the midland regions, aud one
into the interior. "They thought that if they did this
they would in the first. place relieve the city of the
siege and at the s:uine. time of the seareity of food ;
for since many people from all parts had taken refuge
in Carthage, there had. resulled. à general se: weity,
the supply of provisions being alre ady exhausted, but

by the walls and the sea... 1n. the second place, um

if there. were more armies in. lhe field. aiding T
And, what was most imporkant, they hoped that the
enemy would be forced. to divide his forees and to
withdraw to a distance from Carthage. /— All of these
aims were aecomplished. according to their purpose ;
for when thirty thousand soldiers had been sent QUE
from the eity, the men who were left behind as :
garrison not only had enough to maintain o Y
but out of their abundance they enjoyed everything
in profusion : and the allies, who hitherto, because
of their fear of the enemy, were compelled to make
terms with him, again gained courage and hastened
to retum to the formerly existing friendship.

being occupied in sections by hostile armies, he him-

suddenly from another part of the city there poured 307 sc.

forth the army all ready for battle and when a great
host shouted at a,single command, they became
panie-stricken. — Aecordingly, when the barbarians
fell upon an enemy who had been thrown into dis-
order and frightened by the sudden onslaught, the
immediate result was the rout of the Greeks. Since
the Carthaginians eut off the enemy's return to his
eamp, Fumaehus was forced to withdraw to the near-
by hill, whieh was ill supplied with water. When the
Phoenieians invested the. place, the Greeks, who had
become weak from thirst and were being overpowered
by the enemy, were almost all killed. In. faet, of
eight thousand foot-soldiers only thirty were saved,
and of eight hundred horsemen forty escaped from
the battle.

61. After meeting with so great a disaster Archa-
gathus returned to Tunis. He summoned from all
«ides the survivors of the soldiers who had been sent
out; and he sent messengers to Sicily to report to
his father what had happened and to urge him to
come to his aid with all possible speed. In addition
to the preceding disasters, another loss befell the
Greeks ; for all their allies except a few deserted
them, and the armies of the enemy gathered together
and, pitching camp near by, lay in wait for them.
Himileo occupied the passes and shut off his op-
ponents, who were at a distance of a hundred stades;!
from the routes leading from the region ; and on the
other side Atarbas camped at a distance of forty
stades? from 'l'unis. '"lherefore, since the enemy

controlled not only the sea but also the land, the s07 s.

Greeks both suffered from famine and were beset by
fear on every side. ,

While all were in deep despair, Agathocles, when
he learned of the reverses in Libya, made ready
seventeen warships intending to go to the aid of
Archagathus. Although affairs in Sicily had also
shifted to his disadvantage because of the increase
in the slrength. of the exiles who followed Doeino-
erates, he entrusted the war on the island to Leptines
as general; and he bhinself, manning his ships,

ginians were blockading the harbour with thirty
ships. Now at this very time eighteen ships arrived
from Etruria as à reinforcement for him, slipping into
the harbour at night without the knowledge of the
Carthaginians. Gaining this resource, Ag athocles
outgeneralled his enemies; ordering the allies to
remain until he should have sailed out and. drawn the
Carthaginians into the chase, he himself, just as he
had planned, put to sea from the harbour at top speed
with his seventeen ships. 'The ships on guard pur-
sued, but Agathocles, on secing the Etruscans appear-
ing from the harbour, suddenly turned his ships, took
position for ramming, and pitted his ships against
the barbarians. The Carthaginians, terror-stricken by
the surprise and because their own triremes were
cut off between the enemy fleets, fled. "Thereupon
the Greeks captured five ships with their crews;
and the commander of the Carthaginians, when his
flagship was on the point of being captured, killed

But in truth he was shown by the event to have
judged unwisely ; for his ship caught a favouring
wind, raised its jury mast! and fled from the battle.

629. Agathocles, who had no hope of ever getting
the better of the Carthaginians on the sea, un-
expectedly defeated them in a naval battle, and
thereafter he. ruled the sea. and. gave security to his
merehants, Por this reason the. people of Syracuse,
goods being brought to them from all sides, in. plaec
of scarcity of provisions soon enjoyed an abundance
of everything. — "Phe tyraut, encouraged by the suc-
eess Ehat. had. been won, dispatehed. Leptines to
plunder the eountry of the enemy and, in particular,
that of Acragas. For Xenodoeus, vilified by his
politieal opponents because of the defeat he had
suffered,* was at strife with them. Agathocles there-
fore ordered. Leptines to try to. entiec the man out
to a battle; for, he said. it would be easy to defeat
him since his army was seditious and had already been
overcome, And indeed this was aecomplished ; for
when Leptines entered the territory of Acragas and
began plundering the land, Xenodocus at first kept
quiet, not believing himself strong enough for battle ;
but when he was reproached by the citizens for
cowardice, he led out his army, which in number fell
little short of that of his opponents but in morale was
far inferior since the citizen ammy had been formed

himself, preferring death to the anticipated captivity. sor i.

other had been trained in military service in the field
and in constant campaigns. "Ther efore when battle
was joined, Leptines quickly routed the men of
Acragas and pursued them into the city ; and there
fell in the battle on the side of the vanquished about
five hundred foot soldiers and more than fifty horse-
men, Theu the people of Acragas, vexed over their

In his drinking bouts he used to put off the pomp of
tyrauny and to show himself morc humble than the
ordinary citizens ; and by seeking through a policy
of this sort the goodwill of the multitude and at the

in their eups he used to diseover e: xactly the opinion

buffoon and a mimic, not even in the meetings of the
assembly did he abstain from jeering at those who
were present and from portraying certain of them,
so that the common people would often break out
into laughter as if they were watehing one of the
impersonators or conjurors. With a crowd serving
as his bodyguard he used to enter the assembly
unattended, unlike Dionysius the tyrant. For the
latter was so distrustful of one and all that as a rulc
he let his hair and beard grow long so that he nced

for him to have his head trimmed, he singed off the
locks, declaring that the only safety of a tyrant was
distrust. Now Agathocles at the drinking bout,
taking a great golden cup, said that he had not given
up the potters' craft? until in his pursuit of art he had
produced in pottery beakers of such workmanship as
this. For he did not deny his trade but on the con-
Lrary used to boast of it, claiming that it was by his
own ability that in place of the most lowly position
in life he had secured the 1nost. exalted one. Onee
when he was besieging a certain not inglorious city
and people from the wall shouted, " Potter aud
furnace-amnan, when will you pay your soldiers ? "' he
stid in answer, " When I have taken this city." ?
None the less, however, when through the jesting at
drinking bouts he had diseovered which of those who
were flushed with-wine were hostile to his tyranny
he invited them individually on another occasion to
à banquet, and also those of the other Syracusans
who had become particularly presumptuous, in num-
ber about five hundred ; and surrounding them with
suitable men from his mercenaries he slaughtered
them all. For he was taking very careful precautions
lest, while he was absent in Libya, they should over-
throw the tyranny and recall Deinocrates and the
exiles. After he had made his rule secure in. this
way, he sailed from Syracuse.

G4. When he arrived in Libya ! he found the army
discouraged and in great want: deciding, therefore,

that it was best to fight a battle, he encouraged the so: i.c.

soldiers for the fray and, after leading forth the army
in battle array, challenged the barbarians to combat.
As infantry he had*all the surviving Greeks, six
thousand in number, atleast as many C clts, Samnites,
and Lítruscans, and almost ten thousand Libyans,
who, as it turned out, only sat and looked on, heing
always ready to change with changing conditions.
hu addilion to ihese there followed him fiflcen
hundred. horseirien. and. more. than. six. thousand
Libyan ehariots.. 'l'he Carthaginians, since they were
eneaimped in high and inaccessible positions, decided
not to risk a battle against men who had uo thought
of safety ; but they hoped that, by remaining in their
camp where they were plentifully supplied. with
everything, they would defeat their enemy by
famine and the passage of time. But Agathocles,
since he eould not lure them down to the plain and
sinee his own situation foreed him to do something
daring and chanee the result, led his army against
the eneampment of the barbarians, "Then when the
Carthaginians came out against him, even though
they were far superior in number and had the advan-
tage of the rough terraáin, Agathocles held out for
some time although hard pressed on every side; but
afterw: ards, when BUR mercenaries and the others be-
gan to give way, he was forced to withdraw toward his

amp. Thebarbarians, asthey pressed forward stoutly,
passed by the Libyans without molesting them in
order to elicit their goodwill; but recognizing the
Greeks and the mercenaries by their weapons, they
continued to slay them until they had driven them
into their own camp.

Agathocles' men were killed ; but on the following 807 ».c.

night it so happened that each army was visited by
a strange and totally unexpected mishap.

65. While the Ca»thaginians after their victory
were sacrificing the fairest of their captives as thank-
offerings to the gods by night, and while a great blaze
enveloped the men who were being offered as victims,
à sudden blast of wind struck them, with the result
that the saered hut, which was near the altar, caught
fire, and from this the hut of the general caught and
Lien the huta of the leaders, whieh were in line with
it, so that great consternation and fear sprang up
throughout. the. whole enmp. | Some were. trapped
by the couflagralion while trying to put out the fivc
and others while eavryiug out. their amour and the
most valued of their possessions :. for, since the huts
were made of reeds and straw and the five was forcibly
fanned by the breeze, the aid brought by the soldiers
ame too late. Thus when almost thc entire camp
wasin flames, many, caught in thepassages which were
narrow, were burned alive and suffered due punish-
ment on the spot for their cruelty to the captives, the
impious act itself having brought about à punishment
to mateh it; and as for those who dashed from the
eamp amid tumult and shouting, another greater
danger awaited them.

GG. As many as five thousand of the Libyans who
had been taken into Agathocles' army had deserted
the Greeks and were going over by night to the bar-
baridns. When those who had been sent out as
scouts saw these men coming toward the Carthaginian
camp, believing that the whole army of the Greeks

was advancing ready for battle, they quickly reported s07 s.c.
the approaching force to their fellow soldiers. When
the report had been spread through the whole force,
there arose tumult nd dread of the enemy's attack.
Each man placed his hope of safety in flight ; and
since no order had been given by the commanders
nor was there any formation, the fugitives kept
running into each other. When some of them failed
lo recoguize their friends because of the darkness
and others beeause of fright, they fought against
them as if they were enemies, .À general slaughter
took place; and while the misuuderstanding: still
prevailed, some were slain in hand. to hand fighting
and. others, who had sped away unarmed. and. were
flecing through the rough. country, fell from cliffs,
distraught in mind by the sudden panic. Finally
after more than five thousand had perished, the rest
of the multitude eame safe to Carthage. But those
in the city, who had also been deceived at that time
by the report of their own people, supposed that they
had been eonquered in a battle and that the largest
part of the army had been destroyed. Therefore in
great anxiety they opened the city gates and with
tumult and excitement received their soldiers, fearing
lest with the last of them the enemy should burst in.
When day broke, however, they learned the truth
and were with difficulty freed from their expectation
of disaster.

Q7. At this same time, however, Agathoeles by
reason of deceit and mistaken expectation met with
similar disaster. Tor the Libyans who had deserted
did not dare go on after the burning of the camp aud
the tumult that had arisen, but turned back again ;

and some of the Greeks, seeing them advancing and 307 »..
believing that the army of the Carthaginians had
come, reported to Agathocles that the enemy's forces
were near at hand. *Ihe dynast gave the order to
take up arms, and the soldiers rushed from the camp
with great tumult. Since at the same time the fire
in the. Carthaginian eamp blazed high and the shout-
ing of the Carthaginians became audible, the Creeks
believed that the. barbarians were in very truth ad-
vaneing agaiust them with their whole army. — Since
their eonsternation prevented deliberation, panic fell
upon the eamp and all began to flee. "Then. as the
Libyans mingled with them and the darkness fostered
aud inereased their uncertainty, those who happened
to meet fought each. other as if they were enemies.
They were seattered. about cverywhere throughout
the whole night and were in the grip of panic ' fear,
with the result that more than four thousand were
killed. When the truth was at long last discovered,
those who survived returned to their camp. Thus
both armies met with disaster in the way described,
being trieked, according to the proverb, by the
empty alarms of war.!

G8. Sinee after this misfortune the Libyans all
deserted him and the army which remained was not
strong. enough to wage battle against the Cartha-
ginians, Agathocles decided to leave Libya. But he
did not believe that he would be able to transport
his soldiers since he had not prepared any transports
and the Carthaginians would never permit it while
they controlled the sea. He did not expect that the
barbarians would agrec to a truce because they were

far superior in their armies and were determined by so s...

the destruction of those who had first come across
to prevent others from attacking Libya. He decided,
therefore, to make tht return voyage with a few in
secret, and he took on board with him the younger
of his sons, Heracleides ; for he was on his guard
against Archag: athus, lest at some time this son, who
was on intimate terms with his step-mother and was
bold by nature, should form a conspiracy against him-
self. Arehagathus, however, suspecting his purpose
walehed for the sailing with care, being determined
lo reveal the plot to such of the. le: aders as would
prevent the attempt ; for he thought. it, monstrous
that, although. he had shared willingly in the
battles, fighting i in behalf of his father and. brother,
yet he alone should be deprived of a safe return
and left behind as a victim to the enemy. — He therc-
fore disclosed to some of the leaders that Agatho-
cles was about to sail away in seeret by night. These
coming quickly together not only prevented this,
but also revealed Agathocles' knavery to the rank
and file; and the soldiers, becoming furious at this,
seized the tyrant, bound him, and put him in custody.
G9. Consequently, when discipline disappeared in
the camp, there was tumult and confusion, and as
night came on word was spread abroad that the enemy
was near. When fright and panic fear fell upon them,
cach man armed himself and rushed forth. from the
ceneampment, no man giving orders. At this very
time those who were guarding the tyrant, being no
less frightened than the others and imagining that.
they were being summoned by somebody, hastily

brought out AÁgathocles bound with chains. When sor &«.
the common soldiers saw him they were moved to
pity and all shouted to lect him go. When released,
he embarked on the fransport with a few followers
aud secretly sailed away, although this was in the
winter at the season of the setting of the Pleiades.:
'l'his man, then, eoneerned. about his own safety,
abandoned his sons, whom the soldiers at onee slew
wheu they learned. of his eseape ? ; and. the soldiers
seleeted: generals from their own number and made
peace with the Carbhaginiaus on these terms :. they
were to give baek the eities whieh they held and lo
receive fhree hundred. talents, and those who chose
lo serve with the Carthaginians were to receive pay
ab the. regular rates, and the others, when trans-
porled to Sicily, were to reccive Solus ? as a dwelling-
plaec,.— Now, most of the soldiers abided by the terms
and received what had been agreed upon; but all
(hose who continued to occupy the cities because
they still elung to hopes of Agathocles were attacked
and taken by storm. Their leaders the Carthaginians
erucified ; the others they bound swith fetters and
forced them by their own labour to bring back again
iuto cultivation the country they had laid waste
during the war.

[n this way, then, the Carthaginians recovered
their liberty in the fourth year of the war.

70. One might well draw attention both to the
almost ineredible elements in Agathocles' expedition
to Libya and to the punishment that befell his chil-
dren as if by divine providencee. Tor although in
Sicily he had been defeated and had lost the largest

part of his army, in Libya with à small portion of so ».
his forees he defeated those who had previously been
vietorious. And after he bad lost all the cities in
Sicily, he was besieged*at Syracuse ; but in Libya,
after becoming master of all the other cities, he con-
fined the Carthaginians by a siege, l'ortune, a« if
of set: purpose, displaying her peculiar power when
t situation has become hopeless. After he had come
to sueh à position of superiority and had murdeved
Ophellas ? although he swas a friend and a guest, the
divine power elearly. showed. that: it established
through his impious aets against. Ophellas a. portent
of that. whieh later befell hin; for in the same
month and ou Ihe sime day on which he murdered
Ophellas and. took his army, he eaused. the. death
of his own sons and lost his own armny. And
what is most peculiar of all, the. god. like a good
lawgiver exaeted a double punishment from him ;
for when he had unjustly slain one friend, he was
deprived of two sons, those who had been with
Ophellas laying violent hands upon the young men.
Let these things, then, be said as our answer to those
who scorn such matters.

71. When with all speed. Agathocles had crossed
from Libya into Sicily, he summoned a part of his
army and went to the city of Segesta, which was au
ally. Because he was ir need of money, he forced
the well-to-do to deliver to him the greater part of
their property, the city at that time having a popula-
tion of about ten thousand. Since many were angry
at this and were holding mectings, he charged the

the poorest of the people he brought to a place out-
side the city beside tlfe river Seamander and slaugh-
tered them ; but those who were believed to have
more property he examined under torture and com-

torbure similar to the bull of Phalaris : that is, he
prepared a brazen bed that had the form of à human
body and was surrounded on every side by bars ; on
this he fised those. who were being tortured. and
roasted. them alive, the eontrivanee being. superior
to the bull in this respect, that those who were
perishing in anguish were visible. As for the wealthy
women, he tortured some of them by crushing their
ankles with iron pineers, he cut off the breasts of
others, and by placing brieks on the lower part of
the baeks of those who were pregnant, he forced the
expulsion of the foetus by the pressure. While the
tyrant in this way was secking all the wealth, great
panic prevailed throughout the city, some burning
themselves up along with their houses, and others
gainings release from life by hanging. "Thus Segesta,
encountering a single day of disaster, suffered the loss
of all her men from youth upward. Agathocles then
took the maidens and children across to Italy and
sold them to the Bruttians, leaving not even the name

thocles became enr&ged at all those who had been
left behind in Libya, and sent some of his friends
into Syracuse to Antander his brother, ordering him
to put to death all the relatives of those who had
taken part iu the campaign against Carthage.* As
Autauder promptly emrried out the order, there
occurred the most elaborately devised massacre that
had taken plaee up to this time ; for not only did
they drag out to death the brothers, fathers, and sons
who were in the prime of manhood, but also the
grandfathers, and. even. the. fathers of these if sueh
survived, men who lingered. on in extreme old. age
aud were already bereft of all their senses by lapse
of tine, as well as infant ehildren borne in anns who
had no consciousness whatever of the fate that was
bearing down upon them. "Phey also led away auy
women who were xelated by marriage or kinship, and
in sum, every person whose punishment would bring
grief to those who had been left in Libya. When a
crowd, large and composed of all kinds of people, had
been driven to the sea for punishment and when
the executioners had. taken their places beside them,
weeping and prayers and wailing arose mingled to-
gether, as some of them were mercilessly slaughtered
and others were stunned by the misfortunes of their
neighbours and because of their own imminent fate
were no better in spirit than those who were being
Sepgesla eertainly recovered. its name and. became again a

put to death before them. And what was mostsoruc

cruel of all, when many had been slain and their
bodies had been east out along the shore, neither
kinsmen nor friend»dared pay the last rites to any,
fearing lest he should seem to inform on himself as
one who enjoyed intimacy with those who were dead.
Aud because of the multitude of those who had been
slain. beside its waves, the sea, stained with blood
over a great expanse, proclaimed afar the unequalled
anvagrery of this outrage!

73. When this year A id passed, Coroebus beeamne
arc oh in Athens, aud in Rome Quintus. Marcius
and. Publius Cornelius succeeded. to the consulship.?
While these held office. King Antigonus, the younger
of whose sons, Phoenix gh: ad die Il, buried this son with
royal houours ; and, after. summoning. Demetrius
from. Cyprus, he. collected his forees in Anltigonia.t
He had decided to make à campaign against Egypt.
So he himself took. command of the land army and
advanced through Coelé Syria with more than eighty
thousand foot soldiers, about eight thousand hore-
men, and eighty-thrcee elephants. Giving thc flect
to Demetrius, he ordered him to follow. along the
coast in contact with the army as it adv: anced. In
all there had been made ready a. hundred. and. fifty
warships and a hundred transports in. which a large
stoek of ordnanee was being conveyed. When the
pilots thought it necessary to hecd the setting of the

consuls for 306 s.c, as P. Cornelius Arvina and Q. Marcius
Tremulus. 'Phe Capitoline Fasti are fragmentary for a period
of some 40 years beginning at this point.

eight days, Ántigonus censured them as men afraid
of danger ; but he himself, since he was encamped at
Gaza and was eager to forestall the preparations of
Ptolemy, ordered his soldiers to provide themselves
with ten days' rations, and loaded on the camelis,
whieh had been gathered together by the Arabs, one
hundred and thirty thousand measures of grain and
a good stock of fodder fov the beasts ; and, carrying
his ordnanee iu waggous, he advanced. through. the
wilderness with. great hardship because many places
in the region were swampy, particularly ncar the
spot called Bavathra.?

74. As for Demetrius, after setting sail from Gaza
about miduight, since the weather at first was calm
for several days, he had his transports towed by the
swifter ships; then the setting of the Pleiades over-
took them and a north wind arose, so that many
of the quadriremes were driven dangerously by the
storm to Raphia,? a city which affords no anchorage
and is surrounded by shoals.. Of the ships that were
carrying his ordnance, some were overwhelmed by
the storn and destroyed, and others ran back to
Gaza; but pressing on with the strongest of the ships
he held his course as far as Casium.! "This place is
not very distant from the Nile, but it has no harbour
and in the stormy season it is impossible to make
à landing here. "hey were therefore compelled to

'enst their anchors and ride the waves at a distance

of about two stades ! from the land, where they were 06 s.c.

at once encompassed by many dangers; for since
the surf was breaking rather heavily, there was
danger that the ships would founder with their crews,
and since the shore was harbourless and in enemy
hands, the ships could neither approach without
danger, nor could the men swim ashore, and what
was worst of all, the water for drinking had given out
and they were reduced. to such. straits that, if the
storm had eontinued for a single day more, all would
have perished. of thirst. When all were in despair
and already expecting death, the wind fell, and the
army of Antigonus eame up and eamped near the
leet. lhey therefore left the ships and reeuperated
iu the einp while waiting for those vessels that had
beeome separabed..— In this exposure to the waves
three of the quinqueremes were lost, but some of the
men from these swam to the shore. Then Antigonus
led his army nearer to the Nile and camped at a
distance of two stades ! from the river.

75. Ptolemy, who had occupied in advance the
most strategic points with trustworthy garrisons,
sent men in small boats, ordering them to approach
the landing-plaee and proclaim that he would pay a
premium to any who deserted Antigonus, two minae
to eaeh of the ordinary soldiers and one talent to each
man who had been assigned to a position of command.
When proclamations to that effect had been made,
an urge to change sides fell upon the mercenaries
of Antigonus, and it transpired that many even of
their officers were inclined for one reason or another

to desire a ehangre.. But when many were going over aun u.c.
to Ptolemy, Antigonus, stationing bowmen, slingers,
and many of his catapults on the edge of the river,
drove back those w30 were drawing near in their
punts ; and he captured some of the deserters and
tortured them frightfully, wishing to intimidate any
who were contemplating such an attempt as this.
Afler adding to his forece the ships that were late in
arrivinge, he sailed to the place ealled Pseudostomon,!
believing that he would be able to disembark some
of the soldiers there. But. when. he found at that
plaee a strong garrison and was held in cheek by bolts
and other missiles of every kind, he sailed a&way as
night was elosing in..— "Then giving orders to the
pilots to follow the ship of the general, keeping their
eyes fixed on its light, he sailed to the mouth of the
Nile called Phatnitieum ; but when day eame, since
many of the ships had missed the eourse, he was
forced. to wait for these and to send out the swiftest
of those that had followed him to search for them.
7G. Since this caused considerable delay, Ptolemy,
hearing of the arrival of the enemy, came quickly to
reinforee. his men and after drawing up his axmy,
stationed it along the shore ; but Demetrius, having
failed to make this landing also and hearing that the
adjacent coast; was naturally fortified by swamps and
marshes, retraced his course with his whole fleet.
Then a strong north wind burst upon them and the
billows rose high ; and three of his quadriremes and

sinee many river boats had been made re ady for him,
and sinee all of these were equipped with ordnanec

7T. While these events were taking place, Diony-

ruled for thirty-two years? ; and his sons, Oxathras
and Clearchus, succeeding to his tyranny, ruled for
seventeen years,

In Sicily * Agathocles visited the cities that were
subject to him, making them secure with garrisons
and exaeting money from them ; for he was taking
extreme precautions lest, because of the misfortuncs
that had befallen him, the Sicilian Greeks. should
make an effort to gain their independence. Indeed
at that very time Pasiphilus the general, having heard
of the murder of Agathocles! sons and of his reverses
in Libya, regarded the tyrant with contempt; and,
deserting to Deinocrates and cstablishing friendship
with him, he both kept a firm grip on the cities which
had been entrusted to him and by alluring the minds
of his soldiers with hopes alienated them from the
tyrant. Agathocles, now that his hopes were being
curtailed in every quarter, was so cast down in spirit
that he sent an embassy to Deinocrates and invited
him to make a treaty on these terms: that, on the
one hand, Agathocles should withdraw from his
position as tyrant and restore Syracuse to its citizens,
ind Deinocrates should no longer bc an exile, and
that, on the other hand, there should be given to

Agathocles two designated fortresses, Therma and 3065.

Cephaloedium, together with their territorics.

78. One might "with good reason express wonder
at this point that Aghthocles, who had shown himself
resolute in every other situation and had never lost
confidenee in himself when his prospects were at
their lowest, at this time became a coward and without
a fight abandoned to his enemies the. tyranny for
the sake of which he had previously fought many
great: battles, and what was the most unaecountable
of all, that while he was master of Syracuse and of
the other cities and had possession of ships and wealth
ind an army eommensurate with these, he lost. all
power of calculating ehanecs, recalling not one of the
experienees of the tyrant Dionysius. Plor instanec,
when [hat tyrant had. been. driven into a. situation
thak wis confesscdly desperate and when, beeause
of the greatness of the impendiug dangers, he. had
given up hope of retaining his throne and was about
to ride out from Syracuse into voluntary exile, Hc-
loris, the eldest of his friends, opposing. his impulse,
said, '* Dionysius, tyranny is à good winding-shect.
And similarly his brother-an-law, Megacles, d
hís mind to Dionysius, saying that the man who wa
being expelled from a tyranny ought to make his ct
dragged by the leg and not to depart of his own free
choice.! Fincouraged by these exhortations, Diony-
sius firmly faced all the emergencies that seemed
formidable, and not only made his dominion greater,
but when he himself had grown old amid its blessings,
he left to his sons the greatest empire of. Europe.

70. Agathocles, however, buoyed up by no such

hut the adviec here assigned to Megacles is there put in the
mouth of the historian Philistus.

experience, was on the point of abandoning his
empire, great as it was, on these terms. But asit
happened, the treatly never went into effect, ratified
indeed by the policy of Agathocles, but not accepted
because of the ambition of Deinocrates. The latter,
having set his heart upon sole rule, was hostile to the
demoeraey in Syracuse and was well pleased with
the position of lcadership that he himself then had :
for he commanded more than twenty thousand foot
soldiers, three thousand horscemen, and many great
eitics, so that, although he was called general of the
exiles, he really possessed the authority of a king,
his power being absolute. But if he should return
to Syracuse, it would inevitably be his lot to be a
private eitizen and be numbered as one of the inany,
since independenee loves equality ; and in the elec-
tions he might bc defeated by any chance demagogue,
since the crowd is opposed to the supremacy of men
who are outspoken. Thus Agathocles might justly
be said to have deserted his post as tyrant, and Deino-
crates might be regarded as responsible for the later
successes of the dynast. For Deinocrates, when
Agathocles kept sending embassies to discuss the
terms of peace and begging bim to grant the two
fortresses in which he might end his days, always
trumped up specious excuses by which he cut off
any hope of a treaty, now insisting that Agathocles
should leave Sicily, and now demanding his children
as hostages. When Agathocles discovered his pur-
pose, he sent to the exiles and aceused Deinocrates

ways showed admiration for her and promoted her
toa commanding position. Atanyrate, the Ithodians,
having established pets of friendship with all the
rulers, carefully avoided giving legitimate grounds
for complaint; but in displaying goodwill they in-
clined chiefly toward Ptolemy, for it happened that
most of their revenues were due to the merehants
who sailed to Egypt, and that in general the city
drew its food supply from that kingdom.

89. Because. Antigonus knew this and was intent
on separating the Rhodians from. their connection
with Ptolemy, he fivst sent out. envoys to them at
the time when he was fighting with Ptolemy for
Cyprus and. asked them to ally themselves with him
and to dispateh ships in eompany with Demotrius ? ;
and when they did not consent, he dispatched one
of his generals with ships, ordering him to bring to
land any merchants sailing to Egypt from HRhodes
and to seize their cargoes. When this general was
driven: off by the Rhodians, Antigonus, declaring
that they were authors of an unjust war, threatened
to lay siege to the city with strong forces. "The
Rhodians, however, first. voted great honours for
him ; and, sending envoys, they begged him not to
foree the eity to rush into the war against Ptolemy
contrary to their treaties. But then, when the king
answered rather harshly and sent his son Demetrius
with an army and siege equipment, they were so

first they sent to Demetrius, saying that they would
join Antigonus in the war with Ptolemy, but when
Demetrius demanded as hostages à hundred of the
noblest citizens and ordered also that his fleet should
be reecived in their harbours, concluding that he was
plotting against the city, they made ready for war.
Demetrius, gathering all hís forces in the harbour at
Loryma, made his fleet ready for the attack on
Rhodes. Ie had two hundred warships of all sizes and
more than one hundred ind seveuty auxiliary vessels ;
on these were trausported 10b quite forty thousand
soldiers besides the eavalry and the pirates who
were his allies; There was also an ample supply of
ordnanee of all sorts and a large provision of all the
Lhings neeessary for a siege. In addition there accom-
punied him almost a thousand privately owned ships,
which helonged to those who were engaged in trade ;
for since the land of the Rhodians had been un-
plundered for many years, there had gathered to-
gether from all quarters a host of those who were
accustomed to eonsider the misfortunes of men at
war a means of enrjeching themselves.

3. And so Demetrius, having drawn up his fleet
as if for a naval battle in a way to inspire panic, sent
forward his warships, which had on their prows the
'atapults for bolts three spans in length ? ; and he had
the transports for men and horses follow, towed by
the ships that used oaxsmen; and last of all came

chants and traders, which as we have already said,
were exceedingly nurgerous, so that the whole space
between the island and the opposite shore was seen
to be filled with his vessels, which brought great fear
and panie to those who were watching from the city.
l'or the soldiers of the Rhodians, occupying their
several positions ou. the walls, were awaiting the
approach of the hostile fleet, and. the. old men. and
women were looking ou from their homes, since the
city is shaped like a Eheatre ! ; aud all, being terror-
slrieken at the magnitude of the fleet and the glemau
of the shining arvmour, were not a little anxious about
the final outeome.— "hen. Demetrius sailed to the
island; and after disembarking his army, he took
position near the city, Sctting up his camp out of

men from the pirates and others to plunder the
island both by land and by sea. He also cut down
the trees in the region near by and destroyed the
farm buildings, and with this material he fortified
the eamp, surrounding it with a triple palisade and
with great, close-set stockades, so that the loss
suffered by the enemy beemune a protection for his
own men. After this, using the whole army and the
crews, he in a few days closed with a mole the space
between the city and the exit, and made a port large
enough for his ships.

up hope of a truce and sent envoys to Ptolemy, Lysi-
machus, and Cassander, begging them to give aid and
saying that the city Vas fighting the war on their be-
half. As to the meties and aliens who dwelt in the city,
to those who wished they gave permission to join them
in the fighting, and the others who were of no service
they sent forth from the city, partly as a precaution
against scarcity of supplies, and partly that there
might be no one to become dissatisfied: with the
situation and try to betray the city. When they made
à eount of those who were able to fight, they found
that there. were about six thousand citizens and as
many as à thousand metics and aliens. "They voted
also to buy from their masters any slaves who proved
themselves brave men in the battle, and to emanei-
pate and enfranchise them. And they also wrote
another decree, that the bodies of those who fell in
the war should be given publie burial and, further,
that their parents and children should be maintained,
receiving their support from the public treasury, that
their unmarried daughters should be given dowries
at the publie cost, and that their sons on reaching
manhood should be crowned in the theatre at the
Dionysia and given a full suit of armour. When by
these measures they had roused the spirits of all
to endure the battles with courage, they also made
what preparation was possible in regard to other
matters. Sinee the whole people was of one mind,
the rich contributed money, the craftsmen gave their
skilled services for the preparation of the arms, and

were busy with the catapults and ballistae, others
with the preparation4of other equipment, some were
repairing any ruined portions of the walls, and very
many were carrying stones to the walls and stacking

which brought provisions to him. — "These ships on
appearing uunexpeetedly sank many vessels belonging
to merchants who had sailed for ihe purpose of

pay a ransom they took into the city, for the Rhodians
had made an agreement with Demetrius that each
should pay the other à thousand drachmae as ransom
for a free man and five hundred for a slave.

thing required for setting up his engines of war, began
to prepare two penthouses, one for the ballistae, the
other for the catapults, each of them firmly mounted
on two cargo vessels fastened together,! and two

in order that as this was floated forward it might
prevent the enemy from sailing up and ramming the
ships that were carrying the engines of war. In the
interval while these were recciving their finishing
touches, he collected the strongest of the light craft,
fortified them with planks, provided them with ports
that could be closed, and placed upon them those
of the eatapults for bolts three palms long which had
the longest range and the men to work them pro-
perly, aud also Cretan archers ;. then, sending the
boats within rangre, he shot down the men of the city
who were building higher the walls along the harbour.

When the Rhodians saw that the. entire attack. of
Demetrius was aimed against the harbour, they
themselves also took measures for its sceurity. They
placed. two machines ? on the mole and three upon
freighters near the boom of the &mall harbour; in
these they mounted a large number of catapults and
ballistae of all sizes, in order that if the enemy should
disembark soldiers on the mole or should advance
his machines, he might be thwarted in his design by
this means. "They also plaeed on sueh eargo ships
as were at anchor in the harbour platforms suitable
for the catapults that sere to be mounted on them.

86. After both sides had made their preparations
in this way, Demetrius at first endeavoured to bring
his engines of war against the harbour, but he was
prevented when too rough a sea arose ; later on,

he sailed in secretly, and after seizing the end of the
mole of the great harbour he at once fortified the
place, cutting. it off with walls of planks and stones,
and landed there four hundred soldiers and à supply
of ordnance of all kinds. 'This point was five plethra !

brought his engines into the harbour with the sound
of trumpets and with shouts; and with the lighter
eatapults, whieh had a long range, he drove back
those who were eonstruetiug he wall along the liar-

bour, and with the ballistae he shook or destroyed:

the engines of the enemy and. the. wall aeross the

those from the city also fought stoutly, during that
whole day both sides continued to infliet. and. suffer
severe losses ; and when night was already closing,
in, Demetrius by means of towboats drew his c ngines
back out of range. "Phe Rhodians, however, filled
light boats with dr y pitehy wood and placed fire in
them ; at first they went in pursuit «id, drawing near
to the engines of the enemy, lighted the wood, but
afterwards, repelled by the Hoating boom and by the
missiles, they were foreed to withdraw. As the fire

in order to throw the Rhodians into an agony of 30i x.c.
terror because of the many distractions.

87. After carrying on this kind of siege warfare for
eight days, Demetr?tis shattered the engines of war
upon the mole by means of his heavy ballistae and
weakened the curtain of the eross-wall together with
the towers themselves. Some of his soldiers also
occupied a part of the fortifications along the har-
bour ; the Rhodians rallying their forces joined battle
against these, and now that they outnumbered the
enemy, they killed some and forced the rest to with-
driw. "Themen of the city were aided by the vugged-
ness of the shore along the wall, for inany large rocks
lay close together beside the strueture outside of the
wall. Ofthe ships which had conveyed these soldiers
no small number van aground in their ignorance ;
and the Rhodians at onee, after stripping off the
beaks, threw dry pitchy wood into the ships and
burned them. While the Rhodians were so occupied,
the soldiers of Demetrius sailing up on every side
placed ladders against the walls and pressed on more
strongly, and the troops who were attacking from
the land also joined in the struggle from every side
and raised the battle cvy in unison. Then indeed,
since many had recklessly risked their lives, and a
good number had mounted the walls, a mighty battle
arose, those on the outside trying to force their
way in and those in the city coming to the defence
with one accord, Finally, as the Rhodians eontended
furiously, some of the men who had mounted were
thrown down and others were wounded and captured,
j among whom were some of their most distinguished
leaders. | Sinee such losses had befallen. those. who

fought from the outside, Demetrius withdrew his s05 ».«.
engines of war to his own harbour ! and repaired the

ships and engines that had been damaged ; and the
Rhodians buried tlhbse of their citizens who had
perished, dedicated to the gods the arms of the
enemy and the beaks of the ships, and rebuilt the
parts of the wall that had been overthrown by

the ballistae.

88. After Demetrius had spent seven days ou the
repair of his engines and ships and had made all his
preparations for the siege, he again attacked the
harbour ;. for his whole effort centred upon capturing
Hhis and shuttiug off the people of the eily from their
grain supplies. When he was within range, with
the fire-arrows, of. whieh he had many, he made an
attack on the ships of the Rhodians that lay at anchor,
with his ballistae he shook the walls, and with his
eatapults he cut down any who showed themselves.
Then when the attack had become continuous and
terrifying, the Rhodian shíp-captains, after a fierce
struggle to save their ships, put out the fire-arrows,
and the magistrates, sinee the harbour was in danger
of being taken, summoned the noblest citizens to
undergo the perils of war for the sake of the common
safety. When many responded with alacrity, they
manned the three staunchest ships with picked men,
whom they instructed to try to sink with their rams
the ships that carried the engines of the enemy.
'These men, aecordingly, pushed forward although mis-
siles in large numbers were speeding against them ;
and at first they broke through the iron studded
boom, and then by delivering repeated blows with

water, they overthrew two of the engines ; but when
the third was drawn back with ropes by the men of
Demetrius, the Rhótlians, encouraged by their suc-
cesses, pressed on into the battle more boldly than
was prudent. And so, when many large ships
crowded around them and the sides of their own ships
had been shattered in many places by the rams, the
admiral Execestus, the trierareh, and. some others
were disabled by wounds and captured ; and as the
rest of its crew jumped into the sea and swam to their
own fellows, one of the ships eame into the possession
of Demetrius ; but the other ships escaped from the
battle. When the naval battle had turned out in this
way, Demetrius constructed another machine three
times the size of the former in height and width ; but
while he was bringing this up to the harbour, a violent
storm from the south sprang up, which swept over
j the ships that were anchored and overthrew the
j engine. Andatthis very time the Rhodians, shrewdly
availing themselves of the situation, opened a gate
and sallied out upon those who had occupied the
mole. A severe battle ensucd lasting for a long time ;
and since Demetrius could not send reinforcements
because of the storm, and the Rhodians, on the other
hand, were fighting in relays, the king's men were
forced to lay down their arms and surrender, in
number about four hundred. After the Rhodians had
gained these advantages there sailed in as allies for
the city one hundred and fifty soldiers from the
Cnossians and more than five hundred from Ptolemy,

some of whom were Rhodians serving as mercenaries so5 i.c.

This was the state of the siege of Rhodes.!

89. In Sicily Agathiocles,? since he had been unable
to make terms w ith Deinocrates and the exiles, took
the field against them with what forces he had,
believing that it was ueeessary for him to fight a
battle with them and stake everything on the result.
Nol more. than five thousand foot soldiers followed
him and. horsemen to the number of eight hundred.
Deinoerates and the exiles, when they saw the move
made by the enemy, gladly eame out to meet him in
battle, heing many times as strong ;. for their foot
soldiers eame to more than twe nty-liv ce thousand and
their eavalry to nob less than three thousand. When
the armies had eneamnped opposite each. other near
the place ealled "orgium; and then were drawn up
against each other in battle array, for a short time
there was a stubborn battle because of the eagerness
af both sides ; but then some of those who were at
odds with Deine? ates, more than two thousand in
number, went over to the tyrant and were responsible
for the defeat of the exiles. For those who were with
Agathocles gained much more confidence, and those
who were fighting on the side of Deinocrates were
dismayed. and, overestimating the number of the
deserters, broke into flight. Then Agathocles, after
pursuing them for a certain distance and refraining
from slaughter, sent envoys to the defeated and
asked them to put an end to the quarrel and return

to their native cities ; for, he said, they had found by sus «c.

experience that the exiles would never be able to
prevail in & battle with him, seeing that even on
this occasion, although they were many times more
numerous, they had been defeated. Of the exiles,
all the horsemen survived the flight and came safe
iuto Ambicae!; but as for the foot soldiers, although
some escaped when night eame on, most of them after
occupying a hill made terms with Agathocles, for
they had lost hope of victory by fighting and longed
for their relatives and friends and for their father-

land and its comforts. Now when they had received

pledges of good faith aud had come down from the
hill-fort, such as it was, Agathocles took their arms ;
and then, stationing his army about them, he shot
then all down, their number being about scven thou-
sand, as "l'imaeus says, but as some have written, about
four thousand. Indeed, this tyrant always scorned
faith and his oaths; and he maintained his own
power, not by the strength of his armed forces but by
the weakness of his subjects, fearing hís allies more
than his enemies.

90. When he had destroyed in this manner the
army that had been arrayed against him, Agathocles
received any exiles who survived and, making terms
with Deinocrates, appointed him general over part of
his army and continued to entrust the most impor-
tant matters to him. In this connection one might
well wonder why Agathocles, who was suspicious of
everyone and never completely trusted anybody, con-
tinued his friendship toward Deinocrates alone until
death. But Deinocrates, after betraying his allies,
seized and slew Pasiphilus in Gela and handed the

these held office, Demetrius; who was besieging 304 w.c.
Rhodes, failing in his assaults by sea, decided to
make his attacks by land. Having provided therefore
à large quantity of ngiterial of all kinds, he built an
engine called the helepolis,? which far surpassed in
size those which had been constructed before it.
"Each side of the square platform he made almost
fifty cubits in length? framed together from squared
timber and fastened with ivon ; the space within he
divided by bars set about a cubit* from each ather so
that there might be stauding space for those. who
were to push the machine forward. The whole
structure was movable, mounted on eight great solid
wheels ; the width of their rims was two cubits and
these were overlaid with heavy iron plates. To
permit motion to the side, pivots had been con-
structed,? by means of which the whole deviee was
easily moved in auy direction. Prom each corner
there extended upward bcams equal in length and
little short of a hundred cubits long, inclining toward
each other in such à way that, the whole structure
being nine storeys high, the first storey had an area
of forty-three hundred square feet and the topmost

Developmenís, pp. 15-16) suggests that there was a shorter
Macedonian cubit of about 13 inches. This would reduce
all the figures given in the notes by nbout 30 per eent, which
seems probable in most cases, but impossible in the spacing
of the erossbeams, see next note.

^ About 18 inches. Probably these crossbars or heams
were below the platform, which would protect the men. who
stood on the ground and moved the tower by pushing on the
bars. lt is possible, however, that the '* platforin " was
simply an open frame of cross timbers, between which the
men stood.

5 4e. the axles were connected to the frame by vertical
pivots, castor fashion.

hands was finished sooner than was expected, Doine-

in stature and in beauty he displayed the dignity
of & hero, so that even those strangers who had
eome from a distance, when they beheld his eomeli-
ness arrayed in royal splendour, marvelled at him
and followed him as he went abroad in order to zraze
at him. Furthermore, he was haughty in spirit and
proud and looked down not ouly upon common men
but also upon those of royal estate ; and what was
most peeuliar to him, in time of peaec he devoted his
time to winebibbing and to drinking bouts accom
pauied by daucing and revels, and in general he
emulated the eonduct said by mythology to have
been that. of Dionysus among men ;. but in his wars
he was active and. sober, so that beyond all others

greatest weapons were perfected and engines of all
kinds far surpassing those that had existed among
others ; and this man launched the greatest ships
after this siege ! and aftev the death of his father.

93. When the Rhodians saw the progress of the
enemy's siege works, they built à second wall inside
parallel to the one that was on the point of failing
under ihe attacks. "They used stones obtained by
tenringe down the theatre's outer wall aid the adjacent
houses, and. also some of the temples, vowing to the
gods Ehat, they would build finer ones when the eity
had been saved. They also sent. out: nine. of their
ships, giviug the commanders orders to sail in every
direetion and, appearing unexpeetedly, to sink some
of the ships they iutercepted and bring others to the
eity. — After these. had. sailed out. and. had. been
divided into three. groups, Damophilus, who had
ships of the kind called by the. Rhodiaus '* guavd-
ships," sailed to Carpathos *; and finding there many
of Demetrius! ships, he sank some, shattering them
with his rams, and some he beached and burnt after
selecting the most useful men from their erews, and
uot à few of those that were transporting the grain
from the island, he brought baek to Rhodes, Mene-
demus, who commanded three light. undecked ships?
sailed to Patara in Lycia; and finding at anchor
there a ship whose erew was on shore, he set the hull
on fire ; and he took many of the frcighters that were
earrying provisions to the army and dispatched them

sailing from Cilicia and had on board royal robes and
the rest of the outfit that Demetrius! wife Phila had
with great pains majle ready and sent off for her
husb nd | CThe elothing Damophilus sent to Egypt
since the garments were purple and proper for a king
to wear; but the ship he hauled up on land, and he
sold the sailors, both those from the quadrireme and
those from the other captured ships. Amyntas, who
was in eommaud of the three remaining ships, made
for islands where he. fell in with. many. freighters
earrying Lo the euemy materials useful for the engines
of war; he sank some of these and some he brought
to the eity.. Ou these ships were also eaptured eleven
fiinous engineers, man of outstanding skill in 1naking
missiles and eatapults.

Thereafter, when au assembly had been eonvened,
some advised that the statues of Antigonus and
Dencetrius should be pulled down, saying that it was
absurd to honour equally their besiegers and their
benefaetors. At this the people were angry and
censured these men as erring, and they altered none
of the honours awarded to Antigonus, having made
t wise decision with a view both to fame and to self
interest. — l'or the magnanimity and. the sounudness
af this action in a democracy won plaudits from all
others and repentanee from the besiegers ;. for while
the latter were setting free the cities throughout
Greece, which had displayed no goodwill at all toward
their benefnctors, they were manifestly trying to
enslave the city that in practice showed itself most

result in the capture of Rhodes, the Rhodians re-
tained as a means of gaining mercy the memory of
the friendship that tháy had preserved. These things,
then, were done prudently by the Rhodians.

9f. When Demetrius had undermined the wall by
using his sappers, one of the deserters informed the
besieged that those who were working underground
were ahnostiwithin the walls. ''herefore the Rhodians
by digging à deep treneh. parallel to the. wall which
was expeeted to collapse and by quiekly undertaking
nmüning operations themselves, made contaet with
Iheir opponents. underground. and. prevented. them
from advancing farther. Now the mines were closely
watehed by both sides, and some of Demetrius! men
Lried to bribe Athenagoras, who had been given com-
mand of the guard by the Rhodians. "his man was
i Milesian by descent, sent by Ptolemy as com-
mander of the mercenaries. — Promising to turn
iraitor he set a day on which one of the ranking
leaders should be sent from Demoetríus to go by night
through the mine up into the city in order to inspect
the position where the soldiers would assemble. But
after leading. Demetrius on to great hopes, he dis-
elosed the matter to the council ; and when the king
sent one of his friends, Alexander the Macedonian,
the Rhodians captured him as he came up through
the mine. They erowned Athenagoras with a golden
crown and gave him a gift of five talents of silver,
their object being to stimulate loyalty to the city
on the part of the other men who were mercenaries
and foreiguers.

05. Demetrius, when his engines of war were comi 304 s.c.

pleted and all the space before the walls was cleared,
stationed the helepolis in the centre, and assigned
positions to the penthouses, eight in number, which
were to protect the sapers. He placed four of these
on cach side of the helepolis and connected with each
of them one covered passage so that the men who
were going in and out might accouplish their assigned
tasks in safety ; aud he brought up also two enormous
penthouses in which battering rams were mounted.
l'or eaeh shed held à ram with a length of one hundred
and twenty eubits, sheathed with iron and striking :
blow like that of aship's ram ; and tlie ram was moved
with ease, being mounted on wheels and. recciving
its motive power in battle from not less than a thou-
sand men. When he was ready to advance the
engines against the walls, he plaeed on each storey
of the helepolis ballistae and catapults of appropriate
size, stationed his fleet in position to attack the
harbours and the adjacent arcas, and distributed his
infantry along such parts of the wall as could be
attacked. "Then, when all at a single command and
signal had raised the battle ery together, he launched
attacks on the city from every side. While he was
shaking the walls with the rams and the ballistae,
Cnidian envoys arrived, asking him to withhold his
attack and promising to persuade the Rhodians to
accepb the most feasible of his demands. "The king
broke off the attack, and the envoys carried on

! À ram 180 feet long would. probably buckle in. use in
spite of the iron reinforcement; but see the footnote on chap.
91. 9 for the possibility that tlie eubit used here is shorter
than the Attic standard. Cp. the rams used by the tomans
before Carthage in 149 s.c, Appian, Punic Wars, 98.

alarmed for the siege works that had been constructed,
hurried to the reseue.. The night was moonless ; and
the fire missiles shon9 bright as they hurtled violently
through the air; but the catapults and ballistae,
snee their missiles were invisible, destroyed many
who were not able to see ihe impending stroke. It
also happened. that: some of the ivon plates of the
helepolis. were. dislodged, and. where the. place was
laid bare the fire. inissiles vained upon the exposed
wood of the struebure.. Therefore Demetrius, fearing
that the fire would spread. and. the. whole machine
be ruined, ezne quiekly to the reseue, and with the
water that had been plaecd in veadiness on the plat-
forms he tried fo. put. out; (he. spreading five; He
finally asseibled by à trumpet signal the men who
were assigned. Lo. move the apparatus and by their
efforts dragged the machine beyond rango.

9T. Then when day had dawned he ordered the
mp followers to colleet the missiles that had been
hurled by the Rhodians, sinee he wished to estimate
from these. the. armimnent of the forees. within the
cily. Quickly earrying out. his orders, they counted
nore than. eight hundred fire missiles of various sizes
und nob less than fifteen. hundred. catapult, bolts,
Since so many missiles had. been hurled iu a short
time at night, he marvelled a£ the resources possessed

by the eity and at their prodigality in the use of

these weapons.

of the dead and the care of the wounded. Meanwhile
the people of the city, having gained a. respite from
the violent attacks qf the siege engines, constructed
a& third ereseent-shaped wall and ineluded in its cir-
euit every part. o£ the wall that was in a dangerous
condition ; but none the less they dug à deep moat
around the fallen portion of the wall so thal the king
should not be able to break into the eity easily by an
assault with a heavily armed foree.. They also sent
out some of their fastest slips, installing. Amyntas
as eomimander ; he, sailing. 06 Peraea ! in. Asian,

sent. out by Demetrius, — '"Phese had 1hree. deekless

They also encountered some of the merchants and,
seizing a fair number of light eraft loaded with grain,
they sent these and the undeeked ships of the pirates

of the enemy. Demetrius, after he had repaired such
of his equipment as was damaged, brought his siege

without stint, he drove baek those who were stationed
on the battlements, and striking with his rums a con-

result that their leadex Ananias was killed fighting so1 v.c

desperately and many of the soldiers were slain also.

98. While these events were taking place, King
Ptolemy sent to th€ Rhodiaus grain and other sup-
plies in no less quantity than those formerly sent!
tud fifteeu hundred soldiers, whose leader was Anti-
gonus, the. Macedonian. | At this very time there
eme to Demetrius more than fifty envoys from the
Athenians and the other Greek cities, all of then
asking the kingy to eome to terms with the Rhodians.
A iruce, Lerefore, was made ;: but although many
arguments of all sorts were. presented. to. the. ciby
and to Demetrius, they eould in no way agree ; and
so the envoys returned without accomplishing their
üim.*

Demetrius, having determined to attack the city
at night through the breach in the wall, selected the
strongest of his fighting men and of the rest those
fitted for his purposc to the number of fifteen hundred.
' These, then, he ordered to advance to the wall in
silence during the second watch; as for himself,
when he had made hís preparations, he gave orders
to those stationed on cach side that when he gave
the signal they should raise the battle ery and make
attacks both by land and sea. When they all carried
ouL the order, those who had advanced against
breaches in the walls, after dispatehing the advance
guards at the moat, eharged past into the city and
occupied the region of the theatre ; but the magis-
trates of the Rhodians, learning what had happened

? According to Plutareh, Demetrius, 92, 4, Demetrius, who
was lookiug for à pretext to end the siege, was induced by the
Athenians to make terms on condition that the Hbodians
should he allies of Antigonus and Demetrius except in à war
with Ptolemy. | Cp. ehap. 99. 3.

the Rhodians as best he could, he awaited a favour-
able opportunity that would provide a specious. excuse
for the settlement. Since Ptolemy had written to
the Rhodians, first saying that he would send them
à great quantity of grain and three thousand soldiers,
but then advising them, if it should be possible, to
make equitable terms with Antigonus, everyone in-
elined toward peace. At just this time the Aetolian
League sent envóys to urge a settlement, and the
Rhodians emme to terms with. Demetrius on: these
conditions : that the eity should be autonomous and
ungrarrisoned and should enjoy its own revenue ; that
the Rhodians should be allies of. Antigonus unless
he should be at war with Ptolemy ; and that they
should. give as hostages a hundred of their citizens
whom Demetrius should select, those holding office
being exempt.!

100. In this way, then, the Rhodians, after they
had been besieged for a year, brought the war to
an end. "Those who had proved themselves brave
men in the battles they honoured with the prizes
that were their due, and they granted freedom and
citizenship to such slaves as had shown themselves
couragcous. 'They also set up statues of King Cas-
sander and King Lysimachus, who though they held
second plaec in general opinion, yet had made great
contributions to the salvation of the city. Inthe case
of Ptolemy, since they wanted to surpass his record
by repaying his kindness with a greater one, they
sent a sacred mission into Libya to ask the oraele at

Ammon if it advised the Rhodians to honour Ptolemy 304 i.c.

as à god. Since the oracle approved, they dedicated
in the city a square precinct, building on each of
its sides à portico a stade! long, and this they called
the Ptolemaeum. "^ey also rebuilt the theatre, the
fallen portions of the walls, and the buildings that
had been destroyed in the other quarters in à manner
more beautiful than before.

Now that Demetrius, in accordance with injunc-
Hons of his father, had made peace with the Rhodians,
he sailed out: with his whole foree ; and after passing
through. the islands, he put. in at Aulis in Bocotia.
Sinee he was intent on freeing the Cmeeks (for
Cassander aid. Polyperehon having up to this time
enjoyed impuuity were engaged iu plundering the
greater part of Greccc), he first freed the city of the
Chalceidians, which was garrisoned by Bocotians, and
by striking fear into the Bocotians, he forced them
lo renounee their friendship with Cassander; and
after this he made an alliance with the Aetolians and
began his preparations for carrying on war against
Polyperchon and Cassander.?

While these events were taking place, Eumelus, the
king of Bosporus, died in the sixth year of his reign?
and his son Spartaeus * succeeded. to the throne and
reigmed for twenty years.

Ihe happenings in Greece and Asia, we shall turn our
narrative toward the other parts of the inhabited
world.

BOOK XX. 101. 1-4

In Sicily,! although the inhabitants of the Lipa- 304».c.
raean Islands were at peace with him, Agathocles
stiled against them without warning and exacted
from men who had done him no prior injury whatever,
fifty talents of silver^ 'To many, indeed, what I am
about to relate seemed the work of à god, since his
crime received its brand from the divinity. When
the Liparaeans begged him to grant them time for
what was lacking in the payment and said that they
had never turned the sacred offerings to profane uses,
Agabhoeles foreed them to give him the dedieations
in the. Prytaneum, of which some bore inscriptions
to Acolus and some to Hephaestus ; and taking these
he at onec sailed away. But a wind came up and the
eleven of his ships that were carrying the money were
sunk. And so it seemed to many that the god who
was said in that region to be master of the winds at
onee on his first voyage exaeted punishment from
him, and that at the end Hephaestus punished him
in his own country in a way that matched the tyrant's
impious actions and the god's own name by burning
him alive on hot coals? ; for it belonged to the same
eharaeter and the same justice to refrain from touch-
ing those who were saving their own parents on
Aetna,? and with his proper power to search after
those who had been guilty of impiety toward his
shrine.

However, as regards the disaster that befell Aga-
thocles, when we come to the proper time, the action
itself will confirm what we now have said ; but we

Lhey were rescuiug their parents from an irruption of Aetna,
the volcanic fires opened and made a way for them to pass.

the city of Sicyon was garrisoned by King Ptolemy's 303 ».c.
soldiers, commanded by a very distinguished general,
Philip. Attacking this city suddenly by night,
Demetrius broke his gvay inside the walls. "Then the
garrison fled to the aeropolis, but Demetrius took
possession of the city and occupied the region between
the houses and the acropolis. While he hesitated
Lo bring up his siege engines, the garrison in panic
smrrendered. the acropolis on terms and the men
themselves sailed off to Egypt. After Demetrius had
moved the people of Sieyon into their acropolis, he
destroyed the part of the eity adjacent to the harbour,
sinee its site was quite iuseeure ; then, after he had
assisted. the common. people of the city in. building
their houses and had ve-established free govemment
for them, he received divine honours from those whom
he had benefited ; for they called the city Demetrias,
and they voted to celebrate sacrifiecs and. public
festivals and also games in his honour every year and
to grant him the other honours of a founder. Time,
however, whose continuity has been broken by
changes of conditions, has invalidated these honours ;
but the people of Sicyon, having thus obtained a much
better location, continue to live there down to our
times.! For the enclosed area of the acropolis is level
and of ample size, and it is surrounded on all sides by
cliffa difieult to scale, so that on no side can engines
of war be brought near ; moreover, it has plenty of
water by the aid of which they developed rich gardens,
so that the king in his design seems to have made
excellent provision both for comfort in time of peace
and for safety in time of wax.

Then, when the men there. fled to those. who had

was exeeedingly irresistible in his assaults, being
particularly skilled in the construction of siege equip-

by the king until the war with Cassander should. be
brought to an end. Prepelatis, ignominiously driven
out of Coriuth, withdrew to Cassander, but Demetrius,
üadvaneing into Achaia, took Dura by storm and
restored autonomy to its citizens ; then, 'apturing
Scyrus in a few days, he east out its garrison. After
this, making à campaign against Arcadian Orcho-
menus, he ordered the garrison commander, Strom-
bichus, to surrender the city. When he paid no
abtention to the orders but even poured much abuse
upon him from the wall in an insulting manner, the
king brought up engines of war, overthrew the walls,

for it was his invariable custom when facing the most
alarming situations to call on. Lysimachus for assis-
tance, both because, of his personal character and
because his kingdom lay next to Macedonia. When
these kings had taken counsel together about their
common interest, they sent envoys to Ptolemy, the
king of Egypt, and to Seleucus, who was ruler of the
upper satrapies, revealing the arrogance of Antigonus!
answer ind showing that the danger arising from the
war was common to all... For they said, if Antigonus
should gain eontrol of Macedonia, he would at once
Lake their kingdoms from the others also ; indeed
he had given proof many times that he was grasping
ind regarded any command as a possession not to
be shared. It would therefore, they said, be advan-
tageous for all to make plans in common and jointly
undertake a war against Antigonus. Now Ptolemy
and Seleueus, believing that the statements were true,
eagerly agreed and arranged with Cassander to
assist one another with strong forces.

[07. Cassander, however, thought it best not to
await the attack of his enemies but to get the start
of them by opening the campaign himself and seizing
what he eould use to advantage. Therefore Cas-
sander gave to Lysimachus a part of his army and
senb with it Prepelaüs as general, while he himself
moved with the rest of the army into "Thessaly to
earry on the war with Demetrius and the Greeks.

Lysimachus with his army crossed from Europe to 302 »...
Ásia, and since the inhabitants of Lampsacus and
Parium came over to him willingly, he left them frec,
but when he took Sigeum by force, he installed a
garrison there. Next, giving his general Prepelaiüs
six thousand foot-soldiers and a thousand borse, he
sent him to win over the cities throughout Acolis and
lonia; as for himself, he first attempted to invest
Abydus and set about preparing missiles and engines
and the other equipment; but when there arrived
by sca to assist the besieged a large body of soldiers
sent by Demoetrius, a force sufficient to secure the
safety of the city, he gave up this attempt and won
over Hellespontine Phrygia, and also laid siege to
the city of Synnada,! whieh possessed a great royal
treasure, It was at this very time that he even per-
suaded Doeimus, the general of Antigonus, to make
common cause with him, and by his aid he took
Synnada and also some of the strongholds that held
the royal wealth. Prepoelaüs, the general who had
been sent by Lysimachus to Acolis and Ionia, ma«s-
tered Adramyttium as he passed by, and then, laying
siege to Ephesus and frightening its inhabitants, he
took the city. "The hundred Rhodian hostages 2? whom
he found there he sent back to their native land;
and he left the Ephesians free but burned all the ships
in the harbour, since the cnemy controlled the sea

* Since Synnada is not in Hellespontine Phrygia, we may
suppose either an error on Diodorus! part or the loss of some
such words as those suggested by Fischer: *" and then
advaneing into Upper Phrygia, he laid siege to Synnada."

by sea to Erythrae,and Clazomenae, he could. not
capture these cities; however, he plundered their
territory and then set out for Sardis. There, by per-
suading Antigonus' general Phoenix to desert the
king, he gained control of the city except the. aero-
polis ; for Philip,! one of the friends of Antigonus,
who was guarding the citadel, held firm his loyalty
Eoward the man who had placed trust in hin.
The affairs of Lysimachus were in this posilion.
108. Autigonus, who had made preparations. to
celebrate great games and a festival in. Antigonia,
had colleeted from all sides the most famous athletes
and artists to compete for great prizes and fees; But
when he heard of the crossing of Lysimachus and the
desertion. of his own generals, he. abandoned. the
cames but distributed to the athletes and artists not
less than two hundred talents as compensation. He
himself taking his army set out from Syria and made
à rapid march : against the enemy. — Arriving at "'arsus
in. Cilicia, he paid the army for three months from
the money he had brought down from QCyinda.?
Apart from this fund, he was carrying three thousand
talents with the avmy in order that he might have
2e provision whenever he had need of money.
Then, erossing the "Taurus Range, he marched toward

Cappadocia; and, advancing upon those who had s02 c.
deserted him in upper Phrygia and Lycaonia, he
restored them again to the former alliance. At this
very time Lysimachus, on hearing of the presence
of the enemy, held a council considering how he
ought to meet the approaching dangers. They
decided not to join in battle until Seleucus should
come down from the upper satrapies, but to oceupy
stronger positions and, after making their eneampment
safe with palisade and diteh, to wait the onslaught
of the enemy. — Phey therefore earried. out. their
decision with vigour ; but Antigonus, when he eaunce
near the enemy, drew up, his army and. challenged
them to battle. When no one dared to issue forth,
he himself occupied certain places through which it
was necessary that the provisions for his opponents
should be transported ; and Lysimachus, fearing that.
if their food supply should be cut off, they would then
be at the mercy of the cnemy, broke eamp at night,
made a forced march of four hundred stades; and
camped near Dorylaeum ; for the stronghold had an
ample store of grain and other supplies, and a river ran
by it that could give protection to those who camped
beside it. Pitehing camp, they strengthened their
encampment. with a deep ditch and a triple stockade.
109. When Antigonus learned of the departure
of the enemy he at once pursued them ; and, after
he had approached their encampment, since. they
did not come out for battle, he began to surround
their camp with a trench, and he sent for catapults

aliance with the Heracleotes; for he had married
Amestris, the daughter of Oxyartes and niece of
King Darius. She had been wife of Craterus, given

him by Alexander, and at the time in question was

ruler of the city.!

Such was the situation in Asia.

110. In Greece Demetrius, who was tarrying in
Athens, was eager to be initiated and to participate
in the inysteries at Eleusis.* Since it was a consider-
able time before the legally established day on which
the Athenians were accustomed to celebrate. the
mysteries, he. persuaded. the. people. because of his
béucfactions to change the eustom of their fathers.
And so, giving himself over unarmed to the priests,
he was initiated before the regular day and departed
' from Athens. And first he gathered together his
fleet and his land army in Chaleis of Euboea ; then,
learning that Cassander had already occupied the
passes in advance, he gave up the attempt to advance
into Thessaly by land, but sailed along the coast with
the army into the port of Larisa. Disembarking the
army, he captured the city at once ; and taking the
acropolis, he imprisoned the garrison and put them
under guard, but he restored their autonomy to the
people "of Lavisa. "Thereafter he won over Ántroncs
and Pteleum,! and when Cassander would have traus-

ruler of Heraelea. On his death she eontinued to rule that
eity for their minor children until her marriage with Lysi-
machus (Straho, 12. 3. 10). Lysimachus in his turn soon
deserted her to marry Arsino&.

as swiftly as possible. Since he regarded. obedience
to his father's orders as obligatory, the king came to
terms with Cassander, making the condition that the
agreements should b valid only if they were accept-
able to his father; for although he very well knew
that his father would not accept them since he had
definitely made up his mind to bring to an end by
force of arms the war which had set in, yet Demetrius
wished to make his withdrawal from Greece appear
respectable and not like à flight. Indeed, it was
written amoug other conditions in the agreement that
the Greek. cities were to be free, not only those of
Greece but also those of Asia. Then Demetrius, after
preparing ships for the transportation of the soldiers
and the equipment, set sail with his whole fleet and,
going through the islands, put in at Ephesus. Dis-
embarking his army and camping near the walls, he
forced the city to returu to its former status ; then
he dismissed on terms the garrison that had been
introduced by Prepelaüs, the general of Lysimachus,
and after stationing his own garrison on the acropolis,
he went on 1o the Hellespont. Ee also recovered
Lampsaeus and Parium, likewise some of the other
eities that had ehanged sides ;: and when he arrived
at the entranec of the Pontus, he constructed a camp
beside the shrine of the Chalcedonians * and left to
guard the region three thousand foot-soldiers and
thirty warships. Then he sent the rest of the

month's t£ruee. with the Sidonians, seeured with
garrisous the cities that he had eaptured, and went

this was takiug place, some of the soldiers of Lysi-

went over to / Antigonus, namely two thousand
Aulariatae and about eight hundred Lycians and
Punphylians;/ Now Antigonus, receiving these men
