Philiscus Of Abydos
Philiscus or Philiskos ( gr, Φιλίσκος) was a 4th-century Greek tyrant of the city of Abydos, on the Asian side of the Hellespont, and a hyparch ("vice-regent") and military commander of the Achaemenid satrap Ariobarzanes. He was sent by Ariobarzanes in 368 BCE as an Achaemenid emissary to Delphi, where the Greek cities at war between themselves had assembled for peace negotiations. Philiscus had probably been sent at the request of either Athens or Sparta, to help solve the conflicts between the Greek city-states. Mediation in the Theban conflict (368 BCE) Since the Peace of Antalcidas in 386 BCE, conflict in the Greek peninsula had been continuous, and Thebes had become the new dominant power following the victory of Epaminondas over Sparta in the Battle of Leuctra (371 BCE), starting the period of Theban hegemony. Thebes was being feared by both Sparta and Athens, and these two cities tried to use Achaemenid influence as a mediator to resolve the conflicts in Greece, ...

Philiscus Of Aegina
Philiscus of Aegina ( grc, Φιλίσκος Αἰγινήτης; fl. 4th century BC) was a Cynic philosopher from Aegina, who lived in the latter half of the 4th century BC. He was the son of Onesicritus who sent Philiscus and his younger brother, Androsthenes, to Athens where they were so charmed by the philosophy of Diogenes of Sinope that Onesicritus also came to Athens and became his disciple. According to Hermippus of Smyrna, Philiscus was the pupil of Stilpo.''Suda'', "Philiskos", φ 359 He is also described as an associate of Phocion. The ''Suda'' claims that he was a teacher of Alexander the Great, but no other ancient writer mentions this. Aelian, though, has preserved a short exhortation by Philiscus addressed to Alexander: Take care of your reputation; don't become a plague or a great disaster, bring peace and health. The ''Suda'' mentions that Philiscus wrote dialogues including one called ''Codrus''. Satyrus claimed that the tragedies ascribed to Diogenes were, in fa ...

Neanthes Of Cyzicus
Neanthes of Cyzicus (; el, Νεάνθης ὁ Κυζικηνός) was a Greek historian and rhetorician of Cyzicus in Anatolia living in the fourth and third centuries BC. Biography Neanthes was a pupil of Philiscus of Miletus ("who is reasonably certain to have died before 300 BC"Michael Weißenberger, "Neanthes," ''Brill's New Pauly'', 2011). Philiscus himself had been a pupil of Isocrates. In an honorary decree of 287 BC, the people of Delphi award him the proxeny, and this is the earliest of "only five decrees from the third century honoring historians, teachers of grammar or literature, or philosophers for their educational activities in the cities' gymnasia." Neanthes was a voluminous writer, principally of history, but very little has reached us to form any judgement of his merits. The various authors that quote him seem, with rare exceptions, to place great reliance on his accuracy and judgement. He is frequently referred to by Diogenes Laërtius, Athenaeus, and by several ...

Philiscus Of Corcyra
Philiscus of Corcyra ( grc, Φιλίσκος ὁ Κερκυραῖος), or Philicus, was a distinguished tragic poet, and one of the seven who formed the Tragic Pleiad, was also a priest of Dionysus, and in that character he was present at the coronation procession of Ptolemy II Philadelphus in 284 BC. Pliny states that his portrait was painted in the attitude of meditation by Protogenes, who is known to have been still alive in 304 BC. It seems, therefore, that the time of Philiscus must be extended to an earlier period than that assigned to him by the Suda, who merely says that he lived under Ptolemy Philadelphus. He wrote 42 dramas,Sudφ 358/ref> of which we know nothing, except that the ''Themistocles'', which is enumerated among the plays of Philiscus of Athens the comic poet, ought probably to be ascribed to him : such subjects are known to have been chosen by the tragedians, as in the ''Marathonians'' of Lycophron. The choriambic hexameter verse was named after Philisc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Temple Of Apollo Sosianus
The Temple of Apollo Sosianus (previously known as the Apollinar and the temple of Apollo Medicus) is a Roman temple dedicated to Apollo in the Campus Martius, next to the Theatre of Marcellus and the Porticus Octaviae, in Rome, Italy. Its present name derives from that of its final rebuilder, Gaius Sosius. Location The ''Apollinar'' and its successors can closely be linked to the site next to the theatre due to Asconius's reference to it being "outside the porta Carmentalis between the Forum Holitorium and the Circus Flaminius", Livy's placing it in the ''prata Flaminia'' ( Flaminian meadows, as this area was then called) and other references placing it near to the forum, the Capitol and the theatre of Marcellus respectively. All these indicate the presently-accepted site for this temple, just north of the theatre and east of the porticus Octaviae, on the street leading through the porta Carmentalis to the campus Martius, a little south of the present Piazza Campitelli.

Alcaeus And Philiscus
Alcaeus and Philiscus (or Alcius and Philiscus; fl. 2nd century BC) were two Epicurean philosophers who were expelled from Rome in either 173 BC or 154 BC. Athenaeus states that the expulsion occurred during the consulship of Lucius Postumius. This can either refer to the Lucius Postumius who was consul in 173 BC or the Lucius Postumius who was consul in 154 BC.Erich S. Gruen, (1996), ''Studies in Greek culture and Roman policy'', page 177. BRILL Aelian states that they were expelled "because they had introduced the younger generation to many unnatural pleasures."Aelian, ''Varia Historia'', ix. 12 This may just be a hostile remark which originated from an anti-Epicurean source, but it is also possible that this was the charge laid against them. Roman law in this period permitted the expulsion (''relegatio'') of any undesired person from Rome by magisterial decree, and it was often used to remove undesirable foreigners from the city.Gordon P. Kelly, (2006), ''A history of exile in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stefano Fieschi
Stefano Fieschi (Latin Stephanus Fliscus or Philiscus) of Soncino, was a 15th-century Italian scholar, episcopal secretary, and pedagogue. Biography Fliscus was a student of the famous rhetorician Gasparino Barzizza from about 1429–1430. He was a secretary to Zenone Castiglione, bishop of Lisieux. Works Fliscus is best known for his ''Sententiarum variationes seu Synonyma,'' a collection of sentences in Latin and other languages as an aid for letter-writing. This popular collection was republished as part of Albrecht von Eyb's ''Praecepta artis rhetoricae'' and ''Margarita poetica.'' Succeeding editions included German, Italian, Dutch, French, and Spanish sentence equivalents. The Spanish version was printed by Antonio de Nebrija's publisher. Fliscus also published a version under the title ''De componendis epistolis.''
