=Nicomēdes I.=, a king of Bithynia, about 278 years before the
christian era. It was by his exertions that this part of Asia became
a monarchy. He behaved with great cruelty to his brothers, and built
a town which he called by his own name, _Nicomedia_. _Justin._
――_Pausanias_, &c.
=Nicomēdes II.=, was ironically surnamed _Philopater_, because he
drove his father Prusias from the kingdom of Bithynia, and caused
him to be assassinated, B.C. 149. He reigned 59 years. Mithridates
laid claim to his kingdom, but all their disputes were decided by
the Romans, who deprived Nicomedes of the province of Paphlagonia,
and his ambitious rival of Cappadocia. He gained the affections of
his subjects by a courteous behaviour, and by a mild and peaceful
government. _Justin._
=Nicomēdes III.=, son and successor of the preceding, was dethroned by
his brother Socrates, and afterwards by the ambitious Mithridates.
The Romans re-established him on his throne, and encouraged him to
make reprisals upon the king of Pontus. He followed their advice, and
he was, at last, expelled another time from his dominions, till Sylla
came into Asia, who restored him to his former power and affluence.

――――Caius Pescennius Justus, a celebrated governor in Syria, well
known by his valour in the Roman armies, while yet a private man. At
the death of Pertinax he was declared emperor of Rome, and his claims
to that elevated situation were supported by a sound understanding,
prudence of mind, moderation, courage, and virtue. He proposed
to imitate the actions of the venerable Antoninus, of Trajan, of
Titus, and Marcus Aurelius. He was remarkable for his fondness for
ancient discipline, and never suffered his soldiers to drink wine,
but obliged them to quench their thirst with water and vinegar. He
forbade the use of silver and gold utensils in his camp, all the
bakers and cooks were driven away, and the soldiers ordered to live,
during the expedition they undertook, merely upon biscuits. In his
punishments Niger was inexorable; he condemned 10 of his soldiers to
be beheaded in the presence of the army, because they had stolen and
eaten a fowl. The sentence was heard with groans: the army interfered;
and when Niger consented to diminish the punishment for fear of
kindling a rebellion, he yet ordered the criminals to make each a
restoration of 10 fowls to the person whose property they had stolen.
They were, besides, ordered not to light a fire the rest of the
campaign, but to live upon cold aliments, and to drink nothing but
water. Such great qualifications in a general seemed to promise the
restoration of ancient discipline in the Roman armies, but the death
of Niger frustrated every hope of reform. Severus, who had also been
invested with the imperial purple, marched against him; some battles
were fought, and Niger was at last defeated, A.D. 194. His head was
cut off and fixed to a long spear, and carried in triumph through
the streets of Rome. He reigned about one year. _Herodian_, bk. 3.

=Nilus=, a king of Thebes, who gave his name to the river which flows
through the middle of Egypt, and falls into the Mediterranean sea.
The Nile, anciently called _Ægyptus_, is one of the most celebrated
rivers in the world. Its sources were unknown to the ancients,
and the moderns were till lately ignorant of their situation,
whence an impossibility is generally meant by the proverb of _Nili
caput quærere_. It flows through the middle of Egypt in a northern
direction, and when it comes to the town of Cercasorum, it then
divides itself into several streams, and falls into the Mediterranean
by seven mouths. The most eastern canal is called the Pelusian,
and the most western is called the Canopic mouth. The other canals
are the Sebennytican, that of Sais, the Mendesian, Bolbitinic, and
Bucolic. They have all been formed by nature, except the two last,
which have been dug by the labours of men. The island which the Nile
forms by its division into several streams is called _Delta_, from
its resemblance to the fourth letter in the Greek alphabet. The Nile
yearly overflows the country, and it is to those regular inundations
that the Egyptians are indebted for the fertile produce of their
lands. It begins to rise in the month of May for 100 successive days,
and then decreases gradually the same number of days. If it does not
rise as high as 16 cubits, a famine is generally expected, but if it
exceeds this by many cubits, it is of the most dangerous consequences;
houses are overturned, the cattle are drowned, and a great number
of insects are produced from the mud, which destroy the fruits of
the earth. The river, therefore, proves a blessing or a calamity to
Egypt, and the prosperity of the nation depends so much upon it, that
the tributes of the inhabitants were in ancient times, and are still
under the present government, proportioned to the rise of the waters.
The causes of the overflowings of the Nile, which remained unknown
to the ancients, though searched with the greatest application, are
owing to the heavy rains which regularly fall in Æthiopia, in the
months of April and May, and which rush down like torrents upon the
country, and lay it all under water. These causes, as some people
suppose, were well known to Homer, as he seems to show it, by saying
that the Nile flowed down from heaven. The inhabitants of Egypt, near
the banks of the river, were called _Niliaci_, _Niligenæ_, &c., and
large canals were also from this river denominated _Nili_ or _Euripi_.

=Ninnius=, a tribune who opposed Clodius the enemy of Cicero.
=Ninias.= _See:_ Ninyas.
=Ninus=, a son of Belus, who built a city to which he gave his own
name, and founded the Assyrian monarchy, of which he was the first
sovereign, B.C. 2059. He was very warlike, and extended his conquests
from Egypt to the extremities of India and Bactriana. He became
enamoured of Semiramis the wife of one of his officers, and he
married her after her husband had destroyed himself through fear of
his powerful rival. Ninus reigned 52 years, and at his death he left
his kingdom to the care of his wife Semiramis, by whom he had a son.
The history of Ninus is very obscure, and even fabulous according
to the opinion of some. Ctesias is the principal historian from
whom it is derived, but little reliance is to be placed upon him,
when Aristotle deems him unworthy to be believed. Ninus after death
received divine honours, and became the Jupiter of the Assyrians
and the Hercules of the Chaldeans. _Ctesias._――_Diodorus_, bk. 2.
――_Justin_, bk. 1, ch. 1.――_Herodotus_, bk. 2.――――A celebrated city,
now _Nino_, the capital of Assyria, built on the banks of the Tigris
by Ninus, and called _Nineveh_ in Scripture. It was, according to
the relation of Diodorus Siculus, 15 miles long, nine broad, and 48
in circumference. It was surrounded by large walls 100 feet high, on
the top of which three chariots could pass together abreast, and was
defended by 1500 towers, each 200 feet high. Ninus was taken by the
united armies of Cyaxares and Nabopolassar king of Babylon, B.C. 606.

=Ninyas=, a son of Ninus and Semiramis, king of Assyria, who succeeded
his mother, who had voluntarily abdicated the crown. Some suppose
that Semiramis was put to death by her own son, because she had
encouraged him to commit incest. The reign of Ninyas is remarkable
for its luxury and extravagance. The prince left the care of the
government to his favourites and ministers, and gave himself up to
pleasure, riot, and debauchery, and never appeared in public. His
successors imitated the example of his voluptuousness, and therefore
their names or history are little known till the age of Sardanapalus.

=Niŏbe=, a daughter of Tantalus king of Lydia by Euryanassa or Dione.
She married Amphion the son of Jasus, by whom she had 10 sons and
10 daughters according to Hesiod, or two sons and three daughters
according to Herodotus. Homer and Propertius say that she had six
daughters and as many sons, and Ovid, Apollodorus, &c., according to
the more received opinion, support that she had seven sons and seven
daughters. The names of the sons were Sipylus, Minytus, Tantalus,
Agenor, Phædimus, Damasichthon, and Ismenus; and those of the
daughters, Cleodoxa, Ethodæa or Thera, Astyoche, Phthia, Pelopia or
Chloris, Asticratea, and Ogygia. The number of her children increased
the pride of Niobe, and she not only had the imprudence to prefer
herself to Latona, who had only two children, but she even insulted
her, and ridiculed the worship which was paid to her, observing that
she had a better claim to altars and sacrifices than the mother of
Apollo and Diana. This insolence provoked Latona, who entreated her
children to punish the arrogant Niobe. Her prayers were heard, and
immediately all the sons of Niobe expired by the darts of Apollo,
and all the daughters except Chloris, who had married Neleus king
of Polos, were equally destroyed by Diana; and Niobe, struck at the
suddenness of her misfortunes, was changed into a stone. The carcases
of Niobe’s children, according to Homer, were left unburied in the
plains for nine successive days, because Jupiter changed into stones
all such as attempted to inter them. On the tenth day they were
honoured with a funeral by the gods. _Homer_, _Iliad_, bk. 24.

=Nisus=, a son of Hyrtacus, born on mount Ida near Troy. He came to
Italy with Æneas, and signalized himself by his valour against the
Rutulians. He was united in the closest friendship with Euryalus,
a young Trojan, and with him he entered, in the dead of night, the
enemy’s camp. As they were returning victorious, after much bloodshed,
they were perceived by the Rutulians, who attacked Euryalus. Nisus,
in endeavouring to rescue his friend from the enemy’s darts, perished
himself with him, and their heads were cut off and fixed on a spear,
and carried in triumph to the camp. Their death was greatly lamented
by all the Trojans, and their great friendship, like that of a
Pylades and an Orestes, or of a Theseus and Pirithous, is become
proverbial. _Virgil_, _Æneid_, bk. 9, li. 176, &c.――――A king of
Dulichium, remarkable for his probity and virtue. _Homer_, _Odyssey_,
bk. 18.――――A king of Megara, son of Mars, or more probably of Pandion.
He inherited his father’s kingdom with his brothers, and received
as his portion the country of Megaris. The peace of the brothers was
interrupted by the hostilities of Minos, who wished to avenge the
death of his son Androgeus, who had been murdered by the Athenians.
Megara was besieged, and Attica laid waste. The fate of Nisus
depended totally upon a yellow lock, which, as long as it continued
upon his head, according to the words of an oracle, promised him
life, and success to his affairs. His daughter Scylla (often called
_Niseia Virgo_) saw from the walls of Megara the royal besieger, and
she became desperately enamoured of him. To obtain a more immediate
interview with this object of her passion, she stole away the
fatal hair from her father’s head as he was asleep; the town was
immediately taken, but Minos disregarded the services of Scylla, and
she threw herself into the sea. The gods changed her into a lark,
and Nisus assumed the nature of the hawk at the very moment that he
gave himself death, not to fall into the enemy’s hands. These two
birds have continually been at variance with each other, and Scylla,
by her apprehensions at the sight of her father, seems to suffer
the punishment which her perfidy deserved. _Apollodorus_, bk. 3,

town of the same name. It was originally joined to the island of Cos,
according to Pliny, and it bore the name of _Porphyris_. Neptune, who

to have there overwhelmed the giant Polybotes, was worshipped there,

herself to be buried over one of the gates of the city, and placed an
inscription on her tomb, which signified that her successors would
find great treasures within if ever they were in need of money, but
that their labours would be but ill repaid if ever they ventured to
open it without necessity. Cyrus opened it through curiosity, and
was struck to find within these words: _If thy avarice had not been
insatiable, thou never wouldst have violated the monuments of the
dead_. _Herodotus_, bk. 1, ch. 185.――――A queen of Egypt, who built

=Nola=, an ancient town of Campania, which became a Roman colony before
the first Punic war. It was founded by a Tuscan, or, according to
others, by an Eubœan colony. It is said that Virgil had introduced
the name of Nola in his Georgics, but that, when he was refused a
glass of water by the inhabitants as he passed through the city, he
totally blotted it out of his poem, and substituted the word _ora_,
in the 225th line of the second book of his Georgics. Nola was
besieged by Annibal, and bravely defended by Marcellus. Augustus died
there on his return from Neapolis to Rome. Bells were first invented
there in the beginning of the fifth century, from which reason they
have been called _Nolæ_, or _Campanæ_, in Latin. The inventor was
St. Paulinus, the bishop of the place, who died A.D. 431, though
many imagine that bells were known long before, and only introduced
into churches by that prelate. Before his time, congregations were
called to the church by the noise of wooden rattles (_sacra ligna_).
