[179] Philip was murdered by Pausanias. Three only of his reputed accomplices are known by name, and they were Alexander, Heromenes, and Arrhabaeus, sons of Aëropus. The two latter were put to death; but the first named was not only spared, but advanced to high military command for being the first to salute Alexander as king. Compare _Curtius_ (vii. 1); _Justin_ (xi. 2). Alexander was accused by some of forgiving his father’s murderers. Probably the reference was to his kind treatment of Olympias and this Alexander. See _Curtius_, vi. 43. [180] That of the Hellespontine Phrygia. See chap. xvii. supra. [181] See chap. xvii. supra. [182] Nearly £250,000. [183] See chap. xi. supra. [184] Compare Plutarch (_Alex._, 17). Just as the historians of Alexander affirmed that the sea near Pamphylia providentially made way for him, so the people of Thapsacus, when they saw the army of Cyrus cross the Euphrates on foot, said that the river made way for him to come and take the sceptre (Xen., _Anab._, i. 4). So also the inhabitants prostrated themselves before Lucullus when the same river subsided and allowed his army to cross (Plutarch, _Lucullus_, chap. xxiv.). There was the same omen in the reign of Tiberius, when Vitellius, with a Roman army, crossed the Euphrates to restore Tiridates to the throne of Parthia (Tacitus, _Annals_, vi. 37). Cf. _Strabo_, xiv. 3. [185] Aspendus was on the Eurymedon. [186] About £12,000. [187] Sidē was on the coast of Pamphylia, a little west of the river Melas. [188] Syllium was about five miles from the coast, between Aspendus and Side. [189] This river is celebrated for the double victory of Cimon the Athenian over the Persians, in B.C. 466. See Smith’s _Greece_, p. 252; _Grote_, vol. v. p. 163. [190] This lake is mentioned by _Herodotus_ (vii. 30), as being near the city of Anava. It is now called Burdur. [191] Here Cyrus the Younger reviewed his Grecian forces and found them to be 11,000 hoplites and 2,000 peltasts. Here that prince had a palace and park, in which rose the river Maeander, close to the source of the Marsyas. See Xenophon (_Anab._, i. 2); compare _Curtius_ (iii. 1). [192] _Curtius_ (iii. 1) says they made a truce with Alexander for sixty days. [193] Antigonus, called the One-eyed, was father of Demetrius Poliorcetes. On the division of Alexander’s empire he received Phrygia, Lycia, and Pamphylia. He eventually acquired the whole of Asia Minor; but was defeated and slain at the battle of Ipsus by the allied forces of Cassander, Lysimachus, Ptolemy, and Seleucus (B.C. 301). When he was slain he was in his eighty-first year. [194] Balacrus was left by Alexander to command in Egypt. See _Arrian_ (iii. 5). [195] The capital of the old Phrygian kings. It was rebuilt in the time of Augustus, and called Juliopolis. [196] This Ptolemy was killed at the battle of Issus (_Arrian_, ii. 110).
