=Leda=, a daughter of king Thespius and Eurythemis, who married Tyndarus
king of Sparta. She was seen bathing in the river Eurotas by Jupiter,
when she was some few days advanced in her pregnancy, and the god,
struck with her beauty, resolved to deceive her. He persuaded Venus
to change herself into an eagle, while he assumed the form of a
swan, and, after this metamorphosis, Jupiter, as if fearful of the
tyrannical cruelty of the bird of prey, fled through the air into
the arms of Leda, who willingly sheltered the trembling swan from
the assaults of his superior enemy. The caresses with which the
naked Leda received the swan, enabled Jupiter to avail himself of his
situation, and nine months after this adventure, the wife of Tyndarus
brought forth two eggs, of one of which sprang Pollux and Helena,
and of the other Castor and Clytemnestra. The two former were deemed
the offspring of Jupiter, and the others claimed Tyndarus for their
father. Some mythologists attributed this amour to Nemesis, and not
to Leda; and they further mention, that Leda was entrusted with the
education of the children which sprang from the eggs brought forth
by Nemesis. _See:_ Helena. To reconcile this diversity of opinions,
others maintain that Leda received the name of Nemesis after death.
Homer and Hesiod make no mention of the metamorphosis of Jupiter
into a swan, whence some have imagined that the fable was unknown
to these two ancient poets, and probably invented since their age.

=Lĕgio=, a corps of soldiers in the Roman armies, whose numbers have
been different at different times. The legion under Romulus consisted
of 3000 foot and 300 horse, and was soon after augmented to 4000,
after the admission of the Sabines into the city. When Annibal was
in Italy it consisted of 5000 soldiers, and afterwards it decreased
to 4000, or 4500. Marius made it consist of 6200, besides 700 horse.
This was the period of its greatness in numbers. Livy speaks of 10,
and even 18, legions kept at Rome. During the consular government it
was usual to levy and fit up four legions, which were divided between
the two consuls. This number was, however, often increased, as time
and occasion required. Augustus maintained a standing army of 23 or
25 legions, and this number was seldom diminished. In the reign of
Tiberius there were 27 legions, and the peace establishment of Adrian
maintained no less than 30 of these formidable brigades. They were
distributed over the Roman empire, and their stations were settled
and permanent. The peace of Britain was protected by three legions;
16 were stationed on the banks of the Rhine and Danube, viz. two in
Lower, and three in Upper Germany; one in Noricum, one in Rhætia,
three in Mœsia, four in Pannonia, and two in Dacia. Eight were
stationed on the Euphrates, six of which remained in Syria, and two
in Cappadocia; while the remote provinces of Egypt, Africa, and Spain
were guarded each by a single legion. Besides these the tranquillity
of Rome was preserved by 20,000 soldiers, who, under the titles
of city cohorts and of pretorian guards, watched over the safety
of the monarch and of the capital. The legions were distinguished
by different appellations, and generally borrowed their name from
the order in which they were first raised, as _prima_, _secunda_,
_tertia_, _quarta_, &c. Besides this distinction, another more
expressive was generally added, as from the name of the emperor
who embodied them, as _Augusta_, _Claudiana_, _Galbiana_, _Flavia_,
_Ulpia_, _Trajana_, _Antoniana_, &c.; from the provinces or quarters
where they were stationed, as _Britannica_, _Cyreniaca_, _Gallica_,
&c.; from the provinces which had been subdued by their valour,
as _Parthica_, _Scythica_, _Arabica_, _Africana_, &c.; from the
names of the deities whom their generals particularly worshipped,
as _Minervia_, _Apollinaris_, &c.; or from more trifling accidents,
as _Martia_, _Fulminatrix_, _Rapax_, _Adjutrix_, &c. Each legion was
divided into 10 _cohorts_, each cohort into three _manipuli_, and
every manipulus into two centuries or _ordines_. The chief commander
of the legion was called _legatus_, lieutenant. The standards borne
by the legions were various. In the first ages of Rome a wolf was the
standard, in honour of Romulus; after that a hog, because that animal
was generally sacrificed at the conclusion of a treaty, and therefore
it indicated that war is undertaken for the obtaining of peace. A
minotaur was sometimes the standard, to intimate the secrecy with
which the general was to act, in commemoration of the labyrinth.
Sometimes a horse or boar was used, till the age of Marius, who
changed all these for the eagle, being a representation of that bird
in silver, holding sometimes a thunderbolt in its claws. The Roman
eagle ever after remained in use, though Trajan made use of the
dragon.
=Leitus=, or =Letus=, a commander of the Bœotians at the siege of Troy.
He was saved from the victorious hand of Hector and from death by
Idomeneus. _Homer_, _Iliad_, bks. 2, 6 & 17.――――One of the Argonauts,

=Lelaps=, a dog that never failed to seize and conquer whatever animal
he was ordered to pursue. It was given to Procris by Diana, and
Procris reconciled herself to her husband by presenting him with that
valuable present. According to some, Procris had received it from
Minos, as a reward for the dangerous wounds of which she had cured
him. _Hyginus_, fable 128.――_Ovid_, _Metamorphoses_, bk. 7, li. 771.

different unconnected nations. They were originally inhabitants
of Caria, and went to the Trojan war with Altes their king.
Achilles plundered their country, and obliged them to retire to the
neighbourhood of Halicarnassus, where they fixed their habitation.

=Lemanis=, a place in Britain, where Cæsar is supposed to have first
landed, and therefore placed by some at Lime in Kent.
=Lemannus=, a lake in the country of the Allobroges, through which
the Rhone flows by Geneva. It is now called the lake of Geneva or
Lausanne. _Lucan_, bk. 1, li. 396.――_Mela_, bk. 2, ch. 5.
=Lemnos=, an island in the Ægean sea between Tenedos, Imbros, and
Samothrace. It was sacred to Vulcan, called _Lemnius pater_, who
fell there when kicked down from heaven by Jupiter. _See:_ Vulcanus.
It was celebrated for two horrible massacres; that of the Lemnian
women murdering their husbands [_See:_ ♦Hypsipyle], and that of the
Lemnians, or Pelasgi, in killing all the children they had had by
some Athenian women, whom they had carried away to become their wives.
These two acts of cruelty have given rise to the proverb of _Lemnian
actions_, which is applied to all barbarous and inhuman deeds. The
first inhabitants of Lemnos were the Pelasgi, or rather the Thracians,
who were murdered by their wives. After them came the children of
the Lemnian widows by the Argonauts, whose descendants were at last
expelled by the Pelasgi, about 1100 years before the christian era.
Lemnos is about 112 miles in circumference, according to Pliny, who
says that it is often shadowed by mount Athos, though at the distance
of 87 miles. It has been called ♦_Hypsipyle_, from queen ♦Hypsipyle.
It is famous for a certain kind of earth or chalk, called _terra
Lemnia_ or _terra sigillata_, from the seal or impression which
it can bear. As the inhabitants were blacksmiths, the poets have
taken occasion to fix the forges of Vulcan in that island, and
to consecrate the whole country to his divinity. Lemnos is also
celebrated for a labyrinth, which, according to some traditions,
surpassed those of Crete and Egypt. Some remains of it were still
visible in the age of Pliny. The island of Lemnos, now called
_Stalimene_, was reduced under the power of Athens by Miltiades,
and the Carians, who then inhabited it, were obliged to emigrate.

=Lĕmŭres=, the manes of the dead. The ancients supposed that the souls
after death wandered all over the world, and disturbed the peace of
its inhabitants. The good spirits were called _Lares familiares_, and
the evil ones were known by the name of _Larvæ_, or _Lemures_. They
terrified the good, and continually haunted the wicked and impious;
and the Romans had the superstition to celebrate festivals in their
honour, called _Lemuria_, or ♦_Lemuralia_, in the month of May. They
were first instituted by Romulus to appease the manes of his brother
Remus, from whom they were called _Remuria_, and, by corruption,
_Lemuria_. These solemnities continued three nights, during which the
temples of the gods were shut and marriages prohibited. It was usual
for the people to throw black beans on the graves of the deceased, or
to burn them, as the smell was supposed to be insupportable to them.
They also muttered magical words, and, by beating kettles and drums,
they believed that the ghosts would depart and no longer come to
terrify their relations upon earth. _Ovid_, _Fasti_, bk. 5, li. 421,
&c.――_Horace_, bk. 2, ltr. 2, li. 209.――_Persius_, bk. 5, li. 185.

=Leo=, a native of Byzantium, who flourished 350 years before the
christian era. His philosophical and political talents endeared
him to his countrymen, and he was always sent upon every important
occasion as ambassador to Athens, or to the court of Philip king
of Macedonia. This monarch, well acquainted with the abilities of
Leo, was sensible that his views and claims to Byzantium would never
succeed while it was protected by the vigilance of such a patriotic
citizen. To remove him he had recourse to artifice and perfidy. A
letter was forged, in which Leo made solemn promises of betraying his
country to the king of Macedonia for money. This was no sooner known
than the people ran enraged to the house of Leo, and the philosopher,
to avoid their fury, and without attempting his justification,
strangled himself. He had written some treatises upon physic, and
also the history of his country, and the wars of Philip in seven
books, which have been lost. _Plutarch._――――A Corinthian at Syracuse,

=Leonătus=, one of Alexander’s generals. His father’s name was Eunus.
He distinguished himself in Alexander’s conquest of Asia, and once
saved the king’s life in a dangerous battle. After the death of
Alexander, at the general division of the provinces, he received for
his portion that part of Phrygia which borders on the Hellespont. He
was empowered by Perdiccas to assist Eumenes in making himself master
of the province of Cappadocia, which had been allotted to him. Like
the rest of the generals of Alexander, he was ambitious of power and
dominion. He aspired to the sovereignty of Macedonia, and secretly
communicated to Eumenes the different plans he meant to pursue
to execute his designs. He passed from Asia into Europe to assist
Antipater against the Athenians, and was killed in a battle which
was fought soon after his arrival. Historians have mentioned, as
an instance of the luxury of Leonatus, that he employed a number of
camels to procure some earth from Egypt to wrestle upon, as, in his
opinion, it seemed better calculated for that purpose. _Plutarch_,

=Leonĭdas=, a celebrated king of Lacedæmon, of the family of the
Eurysthenidæ, sent by his countrymen to oppose Xerxes king of Persia,
who had invaded Greece with about five millions of souls. He was
offered the kingdom of Greece by the enemy, if he would not oppose
his views; but Leonidas heard the proposal with indignation, and
observed, that he preferred death for his country, to an unjust
though extensive dominion over it. Before the engagement Leonidas
exhorted his soldiers, and told them all to dine heartily, as
they were to sup in the realms of Pluto. The battle was fought at
Thermopylæ, and the 300 Spartans who alone had refused to abandon the
scene of action, withstood the enemy with such vigour, that they were
obliged to retire wearied and conquered during three successive days,
till Ephialtes, a Trachinian, had the perfidy to conduct a detachment
of Persians by a secret path up the mountains, whence they suddenly
fell upon the rear of the Spartans, and crushed them to pieces. Only
one escaped of the 300; he returned home, where he was treated with
insult and reproaches, for flying ingloriously from a battle in which
his brave companions, with their royal leader, had perished. This
celebrated battle, which happened 480 years before the christian era,
taught the Greeks to despise the number of the Persians, and to rely
upon their own strength, and intrepidity. Temples were raised to the
fallen hero, and festivals, called _Leonidea_, yearly celebrated at
Sparta, in which free-born youths contended. Leonidas, as he departed
for the battle from Lacedæmon, gave no other injunction to his
wife but, after his death, to marry a man of virtue and honour, to
raise from her children deserving of the name and greatness of her
first husband. _Herodotus_, bk. 7, ch. 120, &c.――_Cornelius Nepos_,

=Leontium= and =Leontīni=, a town of Sicily, about five miles distant
from the sea-shore. It was built by a colony from Chalcis in Eubæa,
and was, according to some accounts, once the habitation of the
Lætrygones, for which reason the neighbouring fields are often called
_Læstrygonii campi_. The country was extremely fruitful, whence
Cicero calls it the grand magazine of Sicily. The wine which it
produced was the best of the island. The people of Leontium implored
the assistance of the Athenians against the Syracusans, B.C. 427.

=Leontium=, a celebrated courtesan of Athens, who studied philosophy
under Epicurus, and became one of his most renowned pupils. She
prostituted herself to the philosopher’s scholars, and even to
Epicurus himself, if we believe the reports which were raised by some
of his enemies. _See:_ Epicurus. Metrodorus shared her favours in
the most unbounded manner, and by him she had a son, to whom Epicurus
was so partial, that he recommended him to his executors on his dying
bed. Leontium not only professed herself a warm admirer and follower
of the doctrines of Epicurus, but she even wrote a book in support
of them against Theophrastus. This book was valuable, if we believe
the testimony and criticism of Cicero, who praised the purity and
elegance of its style, and the truly Attic turn of the expressions.
Leontium had also a daughter called Danae, who married Sophron.

B.C. 323. The death of Leosthenes was followed by the total defeat of
the Athenian forces. The funeral oration over his body was pronounced
at Athens by Hyperides, in the absence of Demosthenes, who had been
lately banished for taking a bribe from Harpalus. _See:_ Lamiacum.
