Aristarchus Of Tegea
Aristarchus or Aristarch of Tegea ( grc-gre, Ἀρίσταρχος ὁ Τεγεάτης, ''Aristarkhos ho Tegeates'') was a Greek tragic poet and a contemporary of Sophocles and Euripides. He lived to be a centenarian, composed seventy plays, and won two tragic victories. Only the titles of three of his plays (''Achilles'', ''Asclepius'', and ''Tantalus''), along with a single line of the text, have come down to us, although Ennius freely borrowed from his play about Achilles. Among his merits seems to have been that of brevity; for, as Suidas The ''Suda'' or ''Souda'' (; grc-x-medieval, Σοῦδα, Soûda; la, Suidae Lexicon) is a large 10th-century Byzantine encyclopedia of the ancient Mediterranean world, formerly attributed to an author called Soudas (Σούδας) or Souidas ... relates, he was "the first one to make his plays of the present length."Suda α 3893 References External linksAncient Library Ancient Arcadian poets Tragic poets 5th-century BC Greek peo ...

Aristarchus Of Athens
Aristarchus ( grc, Ἀρίσταρχος) is named with Peisander, Phrynichus, and Antiphon, as a principal leader of the "Four Hundred" during the Athenian coup of 411 BC, and is specified as one of the strongest anti-democratic partisans.

In concert with them, and under cover of his command, he deluded the garrison, by a statement of terms concluded with Sparta Sparta ( Doric Greek: Σπάρτα, ''Spártā''; Attic Greek: Σπάρτη, ''Spártē'') was a prominent city-state in Laconia, in ancient Greece.

Memorabilia (Xenophon)
''Memorabilia'' (original title in grc, Ἀπομνημονεύματα, Apomnemoneumata) is a collection of Socratic dialogues by Xenophon, a student of Socrates. The lengthiest and most famous of Xenophon's Socratic writings, the ''Memorabilia'' is essentially an apologia (defense) of Socrates, differing from both Xenophon's Apology (Xenophon), ''Apology of Socrates to the Jury'' and Plato, Plato's Apology (Plato), ''Apology'' mainly in that the Apologies present Socrates as defending himself before the jury, whereas the former presents Xenophon's own defense of Socrates, offering edifying examples of Socrates' conversations and activities along with occasional commentary from Xenophon. Title Memorabilia is also known by its Latin title ''Commentarii'' and a variety of English translations (Recollections, Memoirs, Conversations of Socrates, etc.). Date of composition The ''Memorabilia'' was probably completed after 371 BC, as one passage (III.5) appears to assume the military s ...

Aristarchus Of Sparta
Aristarchus ( grc, Ἀρίσταρχος) was a man of ancient Sparta who in 400 BC was sent out to succeed Cleander of Sparta as harmost of Byzantium.

Having been bribed by Pharnabazus II, he prevented the troops from recrossing into Asia and ravaging that satrap's province, and in various ways annoyed and ill-treated them.Xenophon, ''Anabasis Anabasis (from Greek ''ana'' = "upward", ''bainein'' = "to step or march") is an expedition from a coastline into the interior of a country.
