AUAI. U. S ('AyoAXif), of Corcyra,' a female gram-
marian. who wrote upon Homer. (Athen. , 1, p. 14,
il) Some have supposed, from two passages in
Suidas (>>. v. 'AvdyaUi; and 'OpxiatO, that we
ought to read Anagallis in this passage of Athenas-
us. The scholiast upon Homer and Eustathius (ad
It. , 18, 491) mention a grammarian of the name of
Agullias, a pupil of Aristophanes the grammarian,
also a Corcyraean and a commentator upon Ho-
mer, who may be the same as Agallis, or, perhaps,
her father.
AQAMEDE (A-yafi^dn), I. a daughter of Augeias
and wife of Mulius, who, according to Homer (//. ,
11, 739), was acquainted with the healing powers
of all the plants that grow upon the earth. Hygi-
nus (Fab. , 157) makes her the mother of Belus,
Actor, and Dictys, by Poseidon. -- II. A daughter of
Macaria, from whom Agamede, a place in Lesbos,
was believed to have derived its name. (Steph.
Hi/:-, t. t>. 'Ayo^iSj? . )
AOAPKTUS ('AyaTTifroj-), I. Metropolitan Bishop
of Rhodes, A. D. 457. When the Emperor Leo
wrote to him for the opinion of his suffragans and
himself on the council of Chalcedon, he defended it
against Timotheus /Elurus, in a letter still extant in
a Latin translation, Conciliorum Nova Collectio ii
Mansi, vol. 7, p. 580. -- II. St. , born at Rome, was
archdeacon, and raised to the Holy See, A. D. 535.
He was no sooner consecrated than he took off the
anathemas pronounced by Pope Boniface II. against
bis deceased rival Dioscorus on a false charge of
? imony. He received an appeal from the Catholics
of Constantinople, when Anthimus, the Monophy-
? ite, was made their bishop by Theodora. The fear
of an invasion of Italy by Justinian led the Goth
Theodatus to oblige St. Agapetus to go himself to
Constantinople, in hope that Justinian might be di-
verted from his purpose. (Vid. Breriarium S. Like-
"ati. up. Mansi, Concilia, vol. 9, p. 695. ) As to this
last object, he could make no impression on the em-
peror, but he succeeded in persuading him to depose
Anthimus; and when Mennas was chosen to suc-
ceed him, Agapetus laid his own hands upon him.
The council and the Synodal (interpreted into GVeek)
sent by Agapetus relating to these affairs may be
found ap. Mansi, vol. 8, p. 869, 921. Complaints
were sent him from various quarters against the
Monophysite Acephali; but he died suddenly, A. D.
636, April 22, and they were read in a council held
on 2d May, by Mennas. (. Maori, ibid. , p. 874. )
There are two letters from St. Agapetus to Justin-
ian in reply to a letter from the emperor, in the
latter of which he refuses to acknowledge the Or-
ders' of the Arians; and there are two others: 1.
To the bishops of Africa, on the same subject; 2.
To Reparatus, bishop of Carthage, in ansjver to a
letter of congratulation on his elevation to the pon-
tificate. (Manti, Concilia, 8, p. 846-850. ) -- III.
Deacon of the Church of St. Sophia, A. D. 527.
There are two other Agapeti mentioned in a coun-
zil held by Mennas at this time at Constantinople,
who were archimandrites, or abbots. Agapetus

Aoathoclea ('AyaBonXeia), a mistress of the prof-
ligate Ptolemy Philopator, king of Egypt, and sis-
ter of his no less profligate minister Agathocles.
She and her brother, who both exercised the most
unbounded influence over the king, were introduced
to him by their ambitious and avaricious mother,
(Enanthe. After Ptolemy had put to death bis wife
and sister Eurydice, Agathoclea became his fa-
vourite. On the death of Ptolemy (B. C. 205), Agath-
oclea and her friends kept the event secret, that
they might have an opportunity of plundering the
royal treasury. They also formed a conspiracy for
setting Agathocles on the throne. He managed for
some time, in conjunction with Sosibius, to act as
guardian to the young king Ptolemy Epiphanes. At
last, the Egyptians and the Macedonians of Alexan-
dres, exasperated at his outrages, rose against him,
and Tlepolemus placed himself at their head. They
surrounded the palace in the night, and forced their
way in. Agathocles and his sister implored in iho
most abject manner that their lives might be spared,
but in vain. The former was killed by his friends,
that he might not be exposed to a more cruel fate.
Agathoclea, with her sisters, and (Enanthe, who
had taken refuge in a temple, were dragged forth,
and in a state of nakedness exposed to the fury of
the multitude, who literally tore them limb from
limb. All their relatives, and those who had any
share in the murder of Eurydice, were likewise put
to death. (Polyb. , 5, 63; 14,11; 15, 25-34. --Justin. ,
30,1, 2-- Alhen. , 6, p. 251; 13, p. 576. --Plul. , Cleom. ,
33. ) There was another Agathoclea, the daughter
of a man named Aristomenes, who was by birth an
Acarnanian, and rose to great power in Egypt.

Aoatuoci-ks ('Aya0oK7. ijc), VI. a Greek historian,
who wrote the history of Cyzicus (nepl Kvtfuov). He
is called by Atheneeus both a Babylonian (1, p. 30,
a; 9, p. 375, a) and a Cyzican (14, p. 649, 0- He
may originally have come from Babylon, and have
settled at Cyzicus. The first and third books are
referred to by Athenasus (9, p. 375, f; 12, p. 515,
a). The time at which Agathocles lived is un-
known, and his work is now lost; but it seems to
have been extensively read in antiquity, as it is re-
ferred to by Cicero (De Din. , 1, 24), Pliny (Hist Nat. ,
Elenchus of books. 4, 5, 6), and other ancient wri-
ters. Agathocles also spoke of the origin of Rome.
J(Fcstus, s. v. Romam. --Solinus, Polyh. , 1. ) The
scholiast on Apollonius (4, 761) cites Memoirs (turo-
uvrifiara) by an Agathocles, who is usually supposed
to be the same as the above-mentioned one. (Com-
pare Schol. ad Hes. , Theog. ,iS5. --Stcph. Bys. , s. v.
Mo6ikos. --Etymol. M. , s. v. Aiicrn. )
There are several other writers of the same
name. I. Agathocles of Atrax, who wrote a work
on Fishing (uXievrtica: Suidas, s. v. KiiciXwc). --U. Of
Chios, who wrote a work on Agriculture. (Varro
and Colum. , De Re Rust. , 1, l. --Plin. , H. If. , 22,

wrote a work on the Constitution of Pessinus.

a totally different light. Athens was at one time
involved in a long-protracted war, and an oracle de-
clared that it would cease if some one would sac-
rifice himself for the good of his country. Agraulos
came forward and threw herself down the Acropo-
lis. The Athenians, in gratitude for this, built her
a temple on the Acropolis, in which it subsequently
became customary for the young Athenians, on re-
ceiving their first suit of armour, to take an oath
that they would always defend their country to the
last. (Suid. and Hetyck. , >>. v. 'AypouAof. --Ulpian,

One of the Attic dij/toi (Agraule) derived its name
from this heroine, and a festival and mysteries were
celebrated at Athens in honour of her. (Steph.
Byzant. , >. >>. 'Aypav? . rj. --Lobeck, Aglaopli. , p. 89. --
Diet, of Ant. , t. v. Agraulia) According to Porphyry
(De Abitin. ab animal. , 1, 2), she was also worship-

in prison many years for embezzlement of public

may have formed a different family from the Aba-

B C. 478, died in his year of office, as appears from
the Fasti. (lav. , 2,49. )--II. C. SKBVILIUB STRUCTUS,
magister equitum B. C. 439, when L. Cincinhalus
was appointed dictator on the pretence that Sp.
Maslius was plotting against the state. In the night
in which the dictator was appointed, the Capitol and
al the strong posts were garrisoned by the part i-
saus of the patricians. In the morning, when the
people assembled in the forum, and Sp. Maelius
among them, Ahala summoned the latter to appear
before the dictator; and upon Meelius disobeying
and taking refuge in the crowd, Ahala rushed into
the throng and killed him. (Liv. , 4, 13, 14. --Zona-
