=Eurysthĕnes=, a son of Aristodemus, who lived in perpetual dissension
with his twin brother Procles, while they both sat on the Spartan
throne. It was unknown which of the two was born first; the mother,
who wished to see both her sons raised on the throne, refused to
declare it, and they were both appointed kings of Sparta, by order
of the oracle of Delphi, B.C. 1102. After the death of the two
brothers, the Lacedæmonians, who knew not to what family the right
of seniority and succession belonged, permitted two kings to sit
on the throne, one of each family. The descendants of Eurysthenes
were called _Eurysthenidæ_; and those of Procles, _Proclidæ_. It
was inconsistent with the laws of Sparta for two kings of the same
family to ascend the throne together, yet that law was sometimes
violated by oppression and tyranny. Eurysthenes had a son called
Agis, who succeeded him. His descendants were called _Agidæ_. There
sat on the throne of Sparta 31 kings of the family of Eurysthenes,
and only 24 of the Proclidæ. The former were the more illustrious.

=Eurystheus=, a king of Argos and Mycenæ, son of Sthenelus and Nicippe
the daughter of Pelops. Juno hastened his birth by two months, that
he might come into the world before Hercules the son of Alcmena,
as the younger of the two was doomed by order of Jupiter to be
subservient to the will of the other. _See:_ Alcmena. This natural
right was cruelly exercised by Eurystheus, who was jealous of
the fame of Hercules, and who, to destroy so powerful a relation,
imposed upon him the most dangerous and uncommon enterprises, well
known by the name of the 12 labours of Hercules. The success of
Hercules in achieving those perilous labours alarmed Eurystheus in a
greater degree, and he furnished himself with a brazen vessel, where
he might secure himself a safe retreat in case of danger. After
the death of Hercules, Eurystheus renewed his cruelties against his
children, and made war against Ceyx king of Trachinia, because he
had given them support, and treated them with hospitality. He was
killed in the prosecution of this war by Hyllus the son of Hercules.
His head was sent to Alcmena the mother of Hercules, who, mindful of
the cruelties which her son had suffered, insulted it and tore out
the eyes with the most inveterate fury. Eurystheus was succeeded on
the throne of Argos by Atreus his nephew. _Hyginus_, fables 30 & 32.

carried arms in the fatal expedition against the Persians. His
origin as well as his dignity are unknown; yet some suppose, from
the epithet of _Clarissimus_ prefixed to his history, that he was
a Roman senator. He wrote an epitome of the history of Rome, from
the age of Romulus to the reign of the emperor Valens, to whom the
work was dedicated. He wrote a treatise on medicine without being
acquainted with the art. Of all his works the Roman history alone is
extant. It is composed with conciseness and precision, but without
elegance. The best edition of Eutropius is that of Haverkamp, _Cum

=Euxīnus Pontus=, a sea between Asia and Europe, partly at the north
of Asia Minor, and at the west of Colchis. It was anciently called
ἀξεινος, _inhospitable_, on account of the savage manners of the
inhabitants on its coast. Commerce with foreign nations, and the
plantation of colonies in their neighbourhood, gradually softened
their roughness, and the sea was no longer called Axenus, but
Euxenus, _hospitable_. The Euxine is supposed by Herodotus to be
1387 miles long and 420 broad. Strabo calls it 1100 miles long and
in circumference 3125. It abounds in all varieties of fish, and
receives the tribute of above 40 rivers. It is not of great depth,
except in the eastern parts, where some have imagined that it has
a subterraneous communication with the Caspian. It is now called
the _Black_ sea, from the thick dark fogs which cover it. _Ovid_,

=Făbiāni=, some of the Luperci at Rome, instituted in honour of the
Fabian family.
=Făbii=, a noble and powerful family at Rome, who derived their name
from _faba_, a bean, because some of their ancestors cultivated this
pulse. They were said to be descended from Fabius, a supposed son
of Hercules by an Italian nymph; and they were once so numerous that
they took upon themselves to wage war against the Veientes. They
came to a general engagement near the Cremera, in which all the
family, consisting of 306 men, were totally slain, B.C. 477. There
only remained one, whose tender age had detained him at Rome, and
from him arose the noble Fabii in the following ages. The family was
divided into six different branches, the _Ambusti_, the _Maximi_,
the _Vibulani_, the _Buteones_, the _Dorsones_, and the _Pictores_,
the three first of which are frequently mentioned in the Roman
history, but the others seldom. _Dionysius of Halicarnassus_, bk. 9,

=Făbius Maximus Rullianus=, was the first of the Fabii who obtained
the surname of _Maximus_, for lessening the power of the populace
at elections. He was master of horse, and his victories over the
Samnites in that capacity nearly cost him his life, because he
engaged the enemy without the command of the dictator. He was five
times consul, twice dictator, and once censor. He triumphed over
seven different nations in the neighbourhood of Rome, and rendered
himself illustrious by his patriotism.――――Rusticus, an historian in
the age of Claudius and Nero. He was intimate with Seneca, and the
encomiums which Tacitus passes upon his style make us regret the
loss of his compositions.――――Marcellinus, an historian in the second
century.――――A Roman lawyer whom _Horace_, bk. 1, satire 2, li. 134,
ridicules as having been caught in adultery.――――Quintus Maximus,
a celebrated Roman, first surnamed _Verrucosus_ from a wart on his
lip, and _Agnicula_ from his inoffensive manners. From a dull and
unpromising childhood he burst into deeds of valour and heroism, and
was gradually raised by merit to the highest offices of the state.
In his first consulship, he obtained a victory over Liguria, and
the fatal battle of Thrasymenus occasioned his election to the
dictatorship. In this important office he began to oppose Annibal,
not by fighting him in the open field, like his predecessors, but
he continually harrassed his army by countermarches and ambuscades,
for which he received the surname of Cunctator, or _delayer_. Such
operations for the commander of the Roman armies gave offence to
some, and Fabius was even accused of cowardice. He, however, still
pursued the measures which prudence and reflection seemed to dictate
as most salutary to Rome, and he patiently bore to see his master of
horse raised to share the dictatorial dignity with himself, by means
of his enemies at home. When he had laid down his office of dictator,
his successors for a while followed his plan; but the rashness of
Varro, and his contempt for the operations of Fabius, occasioned the
fatal battle of Cannæ. Tarentum was obliged to surrender to his arms
after the battle of Cannæ, and on that occasion the Carthaginian
enemy observed that Fabius was the Annibal of Rome. When he had made
an agreement with Annibal for the ransom of the captives, which was
totally disapproved by the Roman senate, he sold all his estates
to pay the money, rather than forfeit his word to the enemy. The
bold proposal of young Scipio to go and carry the war from Italy to
Africa, was rejected by Fabius as chimerical and dangerous. He did
not, however, live to see the success of the Roman arms under Scipio,
and the conquest of Carthage, by measures which he treated with
contempt and heard with indignation. He died in the 100th year of
his age, after he had been five times consul, and twice honoured
with a triumph. The Romans were so sensible of his great merit and
services, that the expenses of his funeral were defrayed from the
public treasury. _Plutarch_, _Parallel Lives_.――_Florus_, bk. 2, ch.
6.――_Livy._――_Polybius._――――His son bore the same name, and showed
himself worthy of his noble father’s virtues. During his consulship,
he received a visit from his father on horseback in the camp; the
son ordered the father to dismount, and the old man cheerfully
obeyed, embracing his son, and saying, “I wished to know whether you
knew what it is to be consul.” He died before his father, and the
Cunctator, with the moderation of a philosopher, delivered a funeral
oration over the dead body of his son. _Plutarch_, _Fabius Maximus_.
――――Pictor, the first Roman who wrote an historical account of
his country, from the age of Romulus to the year of Rome, 536. He
flourished B.C. 225. The work which is now extant, and which is
attributed to him, is a spurious composition.――――A loquacious person
mentioned by _Horace_, bk. 1, satire 1, li. 14.――――A Roman consul,
surnamed Ambustus, because he was struck with lightning.――――A
lieutenant of Cæsar in Gaul.――――Fabricianus, a Roman assassinated
by his wife Fabia, that she might more freely enjoy the company of a
favourite youth. His son was saved from his mother’s cruelties, and
when he came of age he avenged his father’s death by murdering his
mother and her adulterer. The senate took cognizance of the action,
and patronized the parricide. _Plutarch_, _Parallela minora_.――――A
chief priest at Rome when Brennus took the city. _Plutarch._――――A
Roman sent to consult the oracle of Delphi while Annibal was in
Italy.――――Another chosen dictator, merely to create new senators.

=Fabrĭcius=, a Latin writer in the reign of Nero, who employed his
pen in satirizing and defaming the senators. His works were burnt
by order of Nero.――――Caius Luscinus, a celebrated Roman who, in his
first consulship, obtained several victories over the Samnites and
Lucanians, and was honoured with a triumph. The riches which were
acquired in those battles were immense, the soldiers were liberally
rewarded by the consul, and the treasury was enriched with 400
talents. Two years after, Fabricus went as ambassador to Pyrrhus,
and refused with contempt the presents, and heard with indignation
the offers, which might have corrupted the ♦fidelity of a less
virtuous citizen. Pyrrhus had occasion to admire the magnanimity of
Fabricius; but his astonishment was more powerfully awakened when
he opposed him in the field of battle, and when he saw him make a
discovery of the perfidious offer of his physician, who pledged
himself to the Roman general for a sum of money to poison his royal
master. To this greatness of soul were added the most consummate
knowledge of military affairs, and the greatest simplicity of
manners. Fabricius never used rich plate at his table. A small
salt-cellar, whose feet were of horn, was the only silver vessel
which appeared in his house. This contempt of luxury and useless
ornaments Fabricius wished to inspire among the people; and during
his censorship he banished from the senate Cornelius Rufinus, who
had been twice consul and dictator, because he kept in his house
more than 10 pounds weight of silver plate. Such were the manners
of the conqueror of Pyrrhus, who observed that he wished rather to
command those that had money than possess it himself. He lived and
died in the greatest poverty. His body was buried at the public
charge, and the Roman people were obliged to give a dowry to his two
daughters, when they had arrived to marriageable years. _Valerius
