=Phœnīce=, or =Phœnīcia=, a country of Asia, at the east of the
Mediterranean, whose boundaries have been different in different
ages. Some suppose that the names of Phœnicia, Syria, and Palestine
are indiscriminately used for one and the same country. Phœnicia,
according to Ptolemy, extended on the north as far as the Eleutherus,
a small river which falls into the Mediterranean sea, a little below
the island of Aradus, and it had Pelusium or the territories of Egypt
as its more southern boundary, and Syria on the east. Sidon and Tyre
were the most capital towns of the country. The inhabitants were
naturally industrious; the invention of letters is attributed to them,
and commerce and navigation were among them in the most flourishing
state. They planted colonies on the shores of the Mediterranean,
particularly Carthage, Hippo, Marseilles, and Utica; and their
manufactures acquired such a superiority over those of other nations,
that among the ancients, whatever was elegant, great, or pleasing,
either in apparel, or domestic utensils, received the epithet of
_Sidonian_. The Phœnicians were originally governed by kings. They
were subdued by the Persians, and afterwards by Alexander, and
remained tributary to his successors and to the Romans. They were
called Phœnicians, from Phœnix son of Agenor, who was one of their
kings, or, according to others, from the great number of _palm trees_
(θοινικες) which grow in the neighbourhood. _Herodotus_, bk. 4,

=Phœnix=, son of Amyntor king of Argos by Cleobule, or Hippodamia,
was preceptor to young Achilles. When his father proved faithless to
his wife, on account of his fondness for a concubine called Clytia,
Cleobule, jealous of her husband, persuaded her son Phœnix to
ingratiate himself into the favours of his father’s mistress. Phœnix
easily succeeded, but when Amyntor discovered his intrigues, he drew
a curse upon him, and the son was soon after deprived of his sight
by divine vengeance. According to some, Amyntor himself put out the
eyes of his son, which so cruelly provoked him, that he meditated
the death of his father. Reason and piety, however, prevailed over
passion, and Phœnix, not to become a parricide, fled from Argos
to the court of Peleus king of Phthia. Here he was treated with
tenderness. Peleus carried him to Chiron, who restored to him his
eyesight, and soon after he was made preceptor to Achilles, his
benefactor’s son. He was also presented with the government of many
cities, and made king of the Dolopes. He accompanied his pupil to
the Trojan war, and Achilles was ever grateful for the instructions
and precepts which he had received from Phœnix. After the death of
Achilles, Phœnix, with others, was commissioned by the Greeks to
return to Greece, to bring to the war young Pyrrhus. This commission
he performed with success, and after the fall of Troy, he returned
with Pyrrhus, and died in Thrace. He was buried at Æon, or, according
to Strabo, near Trachinia, where a small river in the neighbourhood
received the name of Phœnix. _Strabo_, bk. 9.――_Homer_, _Iliad_,

his brothers Cadmus and Cilix, sent by his father in pursuit of his
sister Europa, whom Jupiter had carried away under the form of a bull,
and when his inquiries proved unsuccessful, he settled in a country
which, according to some, was from him called _Phœnicia_. From him,
as some suppose, the Carthaginians were called _Pœni_. _Apollodorus_,

=Pholus=, one of the Centaurs, son of Silenus and Melia, or, according
to others, of Ixion and the cloud. He kindly entertained Hercules
when he was going against the boar of Erymanthus, but he refused
to give him wine, as that which he had belonged to the rest of the
Centaurs. Hercules, upon this, without ceremony, broke the cask and
drank the wine. The smell of the liquor drew the Centaurs from the
neighbourhood to the house of Pholus, but Hercules stopped them when
they forcibly entered the habitation of his friend, and killed the
greatest part of them. Pholus gave the dead a decent funeral, but he
mortally wounded himself with one of the arrows which were poisoned
with the venom of the hydra, and which he attempted to extract
from the body of one of the Centaurs. Hercules, unable to cure him,
buried him when dead, and called the mountain where his remains were
deposited by the name of _Pholoe_. _Apollodorus_, bk. 1.――_Pausanias_,

=Phormio=, an Athenian general, whose father’s name was Asopicus. He
impoverished himself to maintain and support the dignity of his army.
His debts were some time after paid by the Athenians, who wished to
make him their general, an office which he refused, while he had so
many debts, observing that it was unbecoming an officer to be at the
head of an army, when he knew that he was poorer than the meanest of
his soldiers.――――A general of Crotona.――――A peripatetic philosopher
of Ephesus, who once gave a lecture upon the duties of an officer,
and a military profession. The philosopher was himself ignorant of

men, but never one worse than Phormio. _Cicero_, _de Natura Deorum_,

=Phormis=, an Arcadian who acquired great riches at the court of Gelon
and Hiero in Sicily. He dedicated the brazen statue of a mare to
Jupiter Olympius in Peloponnesus, which so much resembled nature,
that horses came near it, as if it had been alive. _Pausanias_, bk. 5,
ch. 27.
=Phŏrōneus=, the god of a river of Peloponnesus of the same name. He
was son of the river Inachus by Melissa, and he was the second king
of Argos. He married a nymph called Cerdo, or Laodice, by whom he had
Apis, from whom Argolis was called Apia, and Niobe, the first woman
of whom Jupiter became enamoured. Phoroneus taught his subjects the
utility of laws, and the advantages of a social life and of friendly
intercourse, whence the inhabitants of Argolis are often called
_Phoronæi_. Pausanias relates that Phoroneus, with the Cephisus,
Asterion, and Inachus, were appointed as umpires in a quarrel between
Neptune and Juno, concerning their right of patronizing Argolis. Juno
gained the preference, upon which Neptune, in a fit of resentment,
dried up all the four rivers, whose decision he deemed partial. He
afterwards restored them to their dignity and consequence. Phoroneus
was the first who raised a temple to Juno. He received divine honours
after death. His temple still existed at Argos, under Antoninus the
Roman emperor. _Pausanias_, bk. 2, ch. 15, &c.――_Apollodorus_, bk. 2,
ch. 1.――_Hyginus_, fable 143.

=Photīnus=, a eunuch who was prime minister to Ptolemy king of Egypt.
When Pompey fled to the court of Ptolemy, after the battle of
Pharsalia, Photinus advised his master not to receive him, but to
put him to death. His advice was strictly followed. Julius Cæsar some
time after visited Egypt, and Photinus raised seditions against him,
for which he was put to death. When Cæsar triumphed over Egypt and
Alexandria, the pictures of Photinus, and of some of the Egyptians,
were carried in the procession at Rome. _Plutarch._

=Phraates I.=, a king of Parthia, who succeeded Arsaces III., called
also Phriapatius. He made war against Antiochus king of Syria, and
was defeated in three successive battles. He left many children
behind him, but as they were all too young, and unable to succeed
to the throne, he appointed his brother Mithridates king, of whose
abilities and military prudence he had often been a spectator.
_Justin_, bk. 41, ch. 5.
=Phraates II.=, succeeded his father Mithridates as king of Parthia;
and made war against the Scythians, whom he called to his assistance
against Antiochus king of Syria, and whom he refused to pay, on
the pretence that they came too late. He was murdered by some Greek
mercenaries, who had been once his captives, and who had enlisted in
his army, B.C. 129. _Justin_, bk. 42, ch. 1.――_Plutarch_, _Pompey_.
=Phraates III.=, succeeded his father Pacorus on the throne of Parthia,
and gave one of his daughters in marriage to Tigranes the son of
Tigranes king of Armenia. Soon after he invaded the kingdom of
Armenia, to make his son-in-law sit on the throne of his father.
His expedition was attended with ill success. He renewed a treaty
of alliance which his father had made with the Romans. At his return
in Parthia, he was assassinated by his sons Orodes and Mithridates.
_Justin._
=Phraates IV.=, was nominated king of Parthia by his father Orodes,
whom he soon after murdered, as also his own brothers. He made war
against Marcus Antony with great success, and obliged him to retire
with much loss. Some time after he was dethroned by the Parthian
nobility, but he soon regained his power, and drove away the usurper,
called Tiridates. The usurper claimed the protection of Augustus the
Roman emperor, and Phraates sent ambassadors to Rome to plead his
cause, and gain the favour of his powerful judge. He was successful
in his embassy: he made a treaty of peace and alliance with the Roman
emperor, restored the ensigns and standards which the Parthians had
taken from Crassus and Antony, and gave up his four sons with their
wives as hostages, till his engagements were performed. Some suppose
that Phraates delivered his children into the hands of Augustus to
be confined at Rome, that he might reign with greater security, as he
knew his subjects would revolt as soon as they found any one of his
family inclined to countenance their rebellion, though at the same
time they scorned to support the interest of any usurper who was not
of the royal house of the Arsacidæ. He was, however, at last murdered
by one of his concubines, who placed her son called Phraatices on the
throne. _Valerius Maximus_, bk. 7, ch. 6.――_Justin_, bk. 42, ch. 5.

=Phronĭma=, a daughter of Etearchus king of Crete. She was delivered to
a servant to be thrown into the sea, by order of her father, at the

sea, he accordingly let her down into the water by a rope, and took
her out again unhurt. Phronima was afterwards in the number of the
concubines of Polymnestus, by whom she became mother of Battus the

=Phryges=, a river of Asia Minor, dividing Phrygia from Caria, and

=Phrygia=, a country of Asia Minor, generally divided into Phrygia
Major and Minor. Its boundaries are not properly or accurately
defined by ancient authors, though it appears that it was situate
between Bithynia, Lydia, Cappadocia and Caria. It received its
name from the _Bryges_, a nation of Thrace, or Macedonia, who came
to settle there, and from their name, by corruption, arose the
word _Phrygia_. Cybele was the chief deity of the country, and
her festivals were observed with the greatest solemnity. The most
remarkable towns, besides Troy, were Laodice, Hierapolis, and Synnada.
The invention of the pipe of reeds, and of all sorts of needlework,
is attributed to the inhabitants, who are represented by some authors
as stubborn, but yielding to correction (hence _Phryx verberatus
melior_), as imprudent, effeminate, servile, and voluptuous; and to
this _Virgil_ seems to allude. _Æneid_, bk. 9, li. 617. The Phrygians,
like all other nations, were called barbarians by the Greeks; their
music (_Phrygii cantus_) was of a grave and solemn nature, when
opposed to the brisker and more cheerful Lydian airs. _Mela_, bk. 1,

=Phryne=, a celebrated prostitute who flourished at Athens about 328
years before the christian era. She was mistress to Praxiteles, who
drew her picture. _See:_ Praxiteles. This was one of his best pieces,
and it was placed in the temple of Apollo at Delphi. It is said that
Apelles painted his Venus Anadyomene after he had seen Phryne on the
sea-shore naked, and with dishevelled hair. Phryne became so rich
by the liberality of her lovers, that she offered to rebuild, at her
own expense, Thebes, which Alexander had destroyed, provided this
inscription was placed on the walls: _Alexander diruit, sed meretrix
Phryne refecit_. This was refused. _Pliny_, bk. 34, ch. 8.――――There
was also another of the same name who was accused of impiety. When
she saw that she was going to be condemned, she unveiled her bosom,
which so influenced her judges, that she was immediately acquitted.

prize at the Panathenæa at Athens. He added two strings to the lyre,
which had always been used with seven by all his predecessors, B.C.
438. It is said that he was originally a cook at the house of Hiero
king of Sicily.――――A writer in the reign of Commodus, who made a
collection, in 36 books, of phrases and sentences from the best Greek
authors, &c.
=Phryno=, a celebrated general of Athens, who died B.C. 590.
=Phryxus=, a son of ♦Athamas king of Thebes by Nephele. After the
repudiation of his mother, he was persecuted with the most inveterate
fury by his stepmother Ino, because he was to sit on the throne
of Athamas, in preference to the children of a second wife. He was
apprised of Ino’s intentions upon his life by his mother Nephele,
or, according to others, by his preceptor; and the better to make his
escape, he secured part of his father’s treasures, and privately left
Bœotia, with his sister Helle, to go to their friend and relation
Æetes king of Colchis. They embarked on board a ship, or, according
to the fabulous account of the poets and mythologists, they mounted
on the back of a ram whose fleece was of gold, and proceeded on their
journey through the air. The height to which they were carried made
Helle giddy, and she fell into the sea. Phryxus gave her a decent
burial on the sea-shore, and after he had called the place Hellespont
from her name, he continued his flight, and arrived safe in the
kingdom of Æetes, where he offered the ram on the altars of Mars.
The king received him with great tenderness, and gave him his
daughter Chalciope in marriage. She had by him Phrontis, Melias,
Argos, Cylindrus, whom some call Cytorus, Catis, Lorus, and Hellen.
Some time after he was murdered by his father-in-law, who envied
him the possession of the golden fleece; and Chalciope, to prevent
her children from sharing their father’s fate, sent them privately
from Colchis to Bœotia, as nothing was to be dreaded there from the
jealousy or resentment of Ino, who was then dead. The fable of the
flight of Phryxus to Colchis on a ram has been explained by some, who
observe that the ship on which he embarked was either called by that
name, or carried on her prow the figure of that animal. The fleece of
gold is explained by recollecting that Phryxus carried away immense
treasures from Thebes. Phryxus was placed among the constellations
of heaven after death. The ram which carried him to Asia is said to
have been the fruit of Neptune’s amour with Theophane the daughter of
Altis. This ram had been given to Athamas by the gods, to reward his
piety and religious life, and Nephele procured it for her children,
just as they were going to be sacrificed to the jealousy of Ino.
The murder of Phryxus was some time after amply revenged by the
Greeks. It gave rise to a celebrated expedition which was achieved
under Jason and many of the princes of Greece, and which had for its
object the recovery of the golden fleece, and the punishment of the
king of Colchis for his cruelty to the son of Athamas. _Diodorus_,
