Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 7 (search)
In accordance
with this agreement, men of the jury, Dionysodorus here and his partner
Parmeniscus, when they had got the money from us, despatched their ship from
Athens to Egypt. Parmeniscus sailed in charge of the
ship; Dionysodorus remained at Athens. All these men, I would have you know, men of the jury,
were underlings and confederates of Cleomenes, the former ruler of Egypt,After
his conquest of Egypt in 331 B.C. Alexander had made Cleomenes collector of
revenues for that province. who from the time he received the
government did no small harm to your state, or rather to the rest of the Greeks
as well, by buying up grain for resale and fixing its price, and in this he had
these men as his confederates.
332/1 B.C.When Niceratus was archon at Athens, the Romans elected as consuls Marcus
Atilius and Marcus Valerius, and the one hundred and twelfth Olympic Games were held, in which
Grylus of Chalcis was the victor.Nicetes was archon at
Athens from July 332 to June 331 B.C. (Arrian. 2.24.6, calls him Anicetus). The consuls of 335
B.C. (Broughton, 1.139) were M. Atilius Regulus Calenus and M. Valerius Corvus. The 112th
Olympic Games were held in July 332 B.C. In this year,
Alexander buried the dead from his victory at Issus, including even those of the Persians who
had distinguished themselves by courage. Then he performed rich sacrifices to the gods and
rewarded those who had borne themselves well in battle with gifts appropriate to each, and
rested the army for some days. Then he marched on towards
Egypt, and as he came into Phoenicia, received the submission of all the other cities, for
their inhabitants accepted him willingly.A
329/8 B.C.After this year was over, Cephisophon became archon at
Athens, and Gaius Valerius and Marcus Clodius consuls in Rome.Cephisophon was archon at Athens from July of 329 to June of 328 B.C. The Roman consuls of 331 B.C. were C. Valerius
Potitus and M. Claudius Marcellus (Broughton, 1.143). In this year, now that Dareius
was dead, Bessus with Nabarnes and BarxaesThese names appear
as Nabarzanes and Barsaentes in Curtius and Arrian. and many others of the Iranian
nobles got to Bactria, eluding the hands of Alexander. Bessus had been appointed satrap of this
region by Dareius and being known to everyone because of his administration, now called upon
the population to defend their freedom. He pointed out that
the nature of their country would assist them very much, since the region was hard for an enemy
to penetrate and furnished enough men for them to establish their independence. He proclaimed
that he would take personal command
Hyperides, In Defence of Euxenippus, section 19 (search)
Yes, you say; for he committed a serious crime in regard to the cup which he allowed Olympias to dedicate to the statue of Health.Olympias, mother of Alexander the Great, was sent by him about 331 B.C. to Epirus, where her brother Alexander was king. On the death of the latter she became regent for the young prince Neoptolemus and so controlled Molossia, which had been attached to the kingdom by Philip in 343 B.C. The statue of Health stood on the Acropolis. (See Paus. 1.23.5.) It is not known how Euxenippus was connected with this affair. You think that if you bring her name irrelevantly into the case to serve your own ends and accuse Euxenippus of deceitful flattery, you will bring down the jury's hatred and anger upon him. The thing to do, my friend, is not to use the name of Olympias and Alexander in the hope of harming some citiz
Media is divided into two parts. One part of it is called Greater Media, of which the metropolis is Ecbatana, a large city containing the royal residence of the Median empire (the Parthians continue to use this as a royal residence even now, and their kings spend at least their summers there, for Media is a cold country; but their winter residence is at Seleuceia, on the Tigris near Babylon). The other part is Atropatian Media, which got its name from the commanderIn the battle of Arbela, 331 B.C. Atropates, who prevented also this country, which was a part of Greater Media, from becoming subject to the Macedonians. Furthermore, after he was proclaimed king, he organized this country into a separate state by itself, and his succession of descendants is preserved to this day, and his successors have contracted marriages with the kings of the Armenians and Syrians and, in later times, with the kings of the Parthians.
This country lies east of Armenia and Matiane, west of Greater Me

it is recorded that in that same yearB.C. 326 Alexandria in Egypt was founded, and that Alexander, king of Epirus, being murdered by a Lucanian exile, fulfilled by his death the oracle of Jupiter at Dodona.The founding of Alexandria and the death of Alexander of Epirus are placed five years too late. they occurred in 332 or 331 B.C.
on his being summoned to Italy by the Tarentines, the oracle had warned him to beware of the Acherusian water and the city Pandosia, for there he was destined to end his days.
on this account he had passed over with the more speed into Italy, that he might be as far removed as possible from the city of Pandosia in Epirus and from the river Acheron, which, debouching from Molossis into the Infernal Marshes,The name was doubtless due to the association of the Acheron in Epirus with the Acheron of the lower world. discharges its waters into the Thesprotian Gulf.

Acro'tatus
(*)Akro/tatos).
1. The son of Cleomenes II. king of Sparta, incurred the displeasure of a large party at Sparta by opposing the decree, which was to release from infamy all who had fled from the battle, in which Antipater defeated Agis, B. C. 331.
He was thus glad to accept the offer of the Agrigentines, when they sent to Sparta for assistance in B. C. 314 against Agathocles of Syracuse.
He first sailed to Italy, and obtained assistance from Tarentum; but on his arrival at Agrigentum he acted with such cruelty and tyranny that the inhabitants rose against him, and compelled him to leave the city.
He returned to Sparta, and died before the death of his father, which was in B. C. 309.
He left a son, Areus, who succeeded Cleomenes. (Diod. 15.70, 71; Paus. 1.13.3, 3.6.1, 2; Plut. Agis 3
