Callimachus

and the Arcadians and Achaeans proceeded to band themselves together, under the leadership particularly of Callimachus the Parrhasian and Lycon the Achaean.

As these two seemed disinclined to act, they sent Lycon the Achaean, Callimachus the Parrhasian, and Agasias the Stymphalian.

And they sent Callimachus the Arcadian, Ariston the Athenian, and Samolas the Achaean.

For the poet Euphorion, and the Causes of Callimachus, and the Alexandra of Lycophron, and such-like works, are set as an exercise in exegesis for the boys of the grammarians.

" Callimachus too mentions the story in his Iambics.

"Wisdom is the all-healing remedy of all things," Callimachus writes in his epigrams.

There is, moreover, that epigram of Callimachus upon Theombrotus of Ambracia, who, he says, though nothing adverse had befallen him, cast himself from the wall into the sea, after reading a book of Plato.

(Although Callimachus says, not amiss, that Priam wept far oftener than Troilus.

The Arcadians worship an Artemis called "the Strangled," as Callimachus says in his Causes.

And let not the Scythians cease from sacrificing asses, as Apollodorus and Callimachus say:

For the god did not know that Lycaon the Arcadian, his host, having slaughtered his own son (Nyctimus was his name), had set him before Zeus as a dish.

When the presidency came round to him, he arrayed the Athenians for battle, with the polemarch Callimachus commanding the right wing, since it was then the Athenian custom for the polemarch to hold the right wing.

In this labor Callimachus the polemarch was slain, a brave man, and of the generals Stesilaus son of Thrasylaus died.

The polemarch's vote was counted in, and the decision to attack was resolved upon.

Perhaps it was in this senses that Isocrates, treating of agreements, in his prescription against Callimachus, maintains that the laws enacted on this subject are the common laws of all mankind, not only Greeks, but barbarians also.

At first Callimachus kept his agreement, but later in complicity with Xenotimus—that falsifier of the laws, corrupter of our tribunals, vilifier of the authorities, and author of every evil—he brought suit against me for the sum of ten thousand drachmas.

I intend to prove that Callimachus not only is bringing a suit in violation of the terms of the Amnesty agreement, but that he is also guilty of falsehood in his charges, and furthermore, that we have already resorted to arbitration in the matter at issue.

Later, after the return of the citizen-exiles from Piraeus, Callimachus brought a charge against Patrocles and instituted proceedings against him on the ground that he was responsible for his loss.

you have Pindar and Callimachus, who records too that Apollo, after the dragon Delphyne was slain, put on the laurel, in which he was a suppliant—for among the ancients suppliants were crowned.
