Dio'genes Oeno'maus
a tragic poet, who is said to have begun to exhibit at Athens in B. C. 404. Of his tragedies only a few titles remain, namely, *Que/sths, *)Axilleu/s, *(Ele/nh, *(Hraklh=s, *Mh/deia, *Oi/di/pous, *Xru/sippos, *Seme/lh; and it is remarkable that all of these, except the last, are ascribed by Diogenes Laertius to Diogenes the Cynic. (6.80, or 73.) Others ascribe them to Philiscus of Aegina, a friend of Diogenes the Cynic (Menagius, ad Diog. Laert. l.c.), and others to Pasiphaon. Melanthius in Plutarch (de Aud. Poet. 4, p. 41d.) complains of the obscurity of a certain Diogenes. Aelian (Ael. VH 3.30, N. A. 6.1) mentions a tragic poet Diogenes, who seems, however, to be a different person from either Diogenes the Cynic or Diogenes Oenomaüs. (Suid. s.v. Ath. xiv. p. 636a.; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. ii. p. 295.) [P.S
Draco'ntides
(*Drakonti/dhs), one of the thirty tyrants established at Athens in B. C. 404. (Xen. Hell. 2.3.2.)
He is in all probability the same whom Lysias mentions (c. Erat. p. 126), as having framed at that time the constitution, according to which the Athenians were to be governed under their new rulers; and he is perhaps also the disreputable person alluded to by Aristophanes as having been frequently condemned in the Athenian courts of justice. (Vesp. 157; Schol. ad loc., comp. 438.) [E.
Fide'nas
2. M'. Sergius Fidenas, L. F. L. N., consular tribune in B. C. 404 (Liv. 4.61; Diod. 14.19), and again in B. C. 402 (Liv. 5.8, &c.; Diod. 14.38). His bad conduct in the latter year, in which he allowed himself to be defeated by the enemy, and his punishment, in consequence, by the people, are related under ESQUILINUS, No. 4.
Glaucon
(*Glau/kwn), an Athenian mentioned by Teles (ap. Stob. Floril. vol. ii. p. 82. ed Gaisf.), who appears to have borne a distinguished part in the last struggle of the Athenians against Antigonus Gonatas, known by the name of the Chremonidean war, B. C. 263.
After its termination he fled, together with Chremonides, to the court of Ptolemy Philadelphus, where he was received with great honour, and rose to a high place in the king's confidence. Droysen (Hellenism. vol. ii. p. 206) supposes him to be the same Glaucon that is mentioned by Pythermus (apud Athen. ii. p. 44) as a waterdrinker, and who is there called one of the tyrants of the Peiraeeus (e)n toi=s *Peiraiw=s turanneu/ousi) ; but this expression is understood by Thirlwall, with more probability, to refer to the thirty tyrants of B. C. 404. (Thirlwall's Greece, vol. viii. p. 92 not.) [E.H.
Hieron
3. One of the thirty tyrants established at Athens, B. C. 404. (Xen. Hell. 2.3.2.)
Ly'cophron
4. A citizen of Pherae, where he put down the government of the nobles and established a tyranny. Aiming further at making himself master of the whole of Thessaly, he overthrew in a battle, with great slaughter (B. C. 404), the Larissaeans and others of the Thessalians, who opposed him, adherents, no doubt, of the Aleuadae. (Xen. Hell. 2.3.4.) Schneider (ad Xen. l.c.) conjectures that the troops and money obtained in the preceding year by Aristippus of Larissa from Cyrus the Younger were intended to resist the attempts of Lycophron (Xen. Anab. 1.1.10). In B. C. 395, Medius of Larissa, probably the head of the Aleuadae, was engaged in war with Lycophron, who was assisted by Sparta, while Medius received succours from the opposite confederacy of Greek states, which enabled him to take Pharsalus. (Diod. 14.82.) Of the manner and period of Lycophron's death we know nothing.
He was probably the father of JASON of Pherae.
Maluginensis
5. P. Cornelius Maluginensis, M. F. M. N., one of the consular tribunes, B. C. 404. (Liv. 4.61; Diod. 14.19.)
