=Samos=, an island in the Ægean sea, on the coast of Asia Minor, from
which it is divided by a narrow strait, with a capital of the same
name, built B.C. 986. It is about 87 miles in circumference, and
is famous for the birth of Pythagoras. It has been anciently called
_Parthenia_, _Anthemusa_, _Stephane_, _Melamphyllus_, _Anthemus_,
_Cyparissia_, and _Dryusa_. It was first in the possession of the
Leleges, and afterwards of the Ionians. The people of Samos were at
first governed by kings, and afterwards the form of their government
became democratical and oligarchical. Samos was in its most
flourishing situation under Polycrates, who had made himself absolute
there. The Samians assisted the Greeks against the Persians, when
Xerxes invaded Europe, and were reduced under the power of Athens,
after a revolt, by Pericles, B.C. 441. They were afterwards subdued
by Eumenes king of Pergamus, and were restored to their ancient
liberty by Augustus. Under Vespasian, Samos became a Roman province.
Juno was held in the greatest veneration there; her temple was
uncommonly magnificent, and it was even said that the goddess had
been born there under a willow tree, on the banks of the Imbrasus.

=Samosăta=, a town of Syria, near the Euphrates, below mount Taurus,
where Lucian was born.
=Samothrāce=, or =Samothrācia=, an island in the Ægean sea, opposite
the mouth of the Hebrus, on the coast of Thrace, from which it
is distant about 32 miles. It was known by the ancient names of
_Leucosia_, _Melitis_, _Electria_, _Leucania_, and _Dardani_. It was
afterwards called Samos, and distinguished from the Samos which lies
on the coast of Ionia by the epithet of _Thracian_, or by the name of
Samothrace. It is about 38 miles in circumference, according to Pliny,
or only 20 according to modern travellers. The origin of the first
inhabitants of Samothrace is unknown. Some, however, suppose that
they were Thracians, and that the place was afterwards peopled by the
colonies of the Pelasgians, Samians, and Phœnicians. Samothrace is
famous for a deluge which inundated the country, and reached the very
top of the highest mountains. This inundation, which happened before
the age of the Argonauts, was owing to the sudden overflow of the
waters of the Euxine, which the ancients considered merely as a lake.
The Samothracians were very religious; and as all mysteries were
supposed to have taken their origin there, the island received the
name of _sacred_, and was a safe and inviolable asylum to all
fugitives and criminals. The island was originally governed by kings,
but afterwards the government became democratical. It enjoyed all its
rights and immunities under the Romans till the reign of Vespasian,
who reduced it, with the rest of the islands in the Ægean, into
the form of a province. _Pliny_, bk. 4, ch. 12.――_Strabo_, bk. 10.

=Sanchoniăthon=, a Phœnician historian, born at Berytus, or, according
to others, at Tyre. He flourished a few years before the Trojan war,
and wrote, in the language of his country, a history in nine books,
in which he amply treated of the theology and antiquities of Phœnicia,
and the neighbouring places. It was compiled from the various records
found in the cities, and the annals which were usually kept in the
temples of the gods among the ancients. This history was translated
into Greek by Philo, a native of Byblus, who lived in the reign of
the emperor Adrian. Some few fragments of this Greek translation are
extant. Some, however, suppose them to be spurious, while others
contend that they are true and authentic.
=Sancus=, =Sangus=, or =Sanctus=, a deity of the Sabines introduced

=Sandrocottus=, an Indian of a mean origin. His impertinence to
Alexander was the beginning of his greatness; the conqueror ordered
him to be seized, but Sandrocottus fled away, and at last dropped
down overwhelmed with fatigue. As he slept on the ground, a lion
came to him, and gently licked the sweat from his face. This uncommon
tameness of the animal appeared supernatural to Sandrocottus, and
raised his ambition. He aspired to the monarchy, and after the death
of Alexander, he made himself master of a part of the country which
was in the hands of Seleucus. _Justin_, bk. 15, ch. 4.

became pregnant of Altes only from gathering the boughs of an almond
tree on the banks of the river. Hecuba, according to some, was
daughter of this river. Some of the poets call it Sagaris. _Ovid_,

=Sapor=, a king of Persia, who succeeded his father Artaxerxes about
the 238th year of the christian era. Naturally fierce and ambitious,
Sapor wished to increase his paternal dominions by conquest; and as
the indolence of the emperors of Rome seemed favourable to his views,
he laid waste the provinces of Mesopotamia, Syria, and Cilicia; and
he might have become master of all Asia, if Odenatus had not stopped
his progress. If Gordian attempted to repel him, his efforts were
weak, and Philip, who succeeded him on the imperial throne, bought
the peace of Sapor with money. Valerian, who was afterwards invested
with the purple, marched against the Persian monarch, but he was
defeated and taken prisoner. Odenatus no sooner heard that the Roman
emperor was a captive in the hands of Sapor, than he attempted to
release him by force of arms. The forces of Persia were cut to pieces;
the wives and the treasures of the monarch fell into the hands of
the conqueror, and Odenatus penetrated, with little opposition, into
the very heart of the kingdom. Sapor, soon after this defeat, was
assassinated by his subjects, A.D. 273, after a reign of 32 years. He
was succeeded by his son called Hormisdas. _Marcellinus_, &c.――――The
second of that name succeeded his father Hormisdas on the throne
of Persia. He was as great as his ancestor of the same name; and by
undertaking a war against the Romans, he attempted to enlarge his
dominions, and to add the provinces on the west of the Euphrates
to his empire. His victories alarmed the Roman emperors, and Julian
would have perhaps seized him in the capital of his dominions, if he
had not received a mortal wound. Jovian, who succeeded Julian, made
peace with Sapor; but the monarch, always restless and indefatigable,
renewed hostilities, invaded Armenia, and defeated the emperor Valens.
Sapor died A.D. 380, after a reign of 70 years, in which he had
often been the sport of fortune. He was succeeded by Artaxerxes, and
Artaxerxes by Sapor III., a prince who died after a reign of five
years, A.D. 389, in the age of Theodosius the Great. _Marcellinus_, &c.
=Sappho=, or =Sapho=, celebrated for her beauty, her poetical talents,
and her amorous disposition, was born in the island of Lesbos, about
600 years before Christ. Her father’s name, according to Herodotus,
was Scamandronymus, or, according to others, Symon, or Semus, or
Etarchus, and her mother’s name was Cleis. Her tender passions were
so violent, that some have represented her attachments to three of
her female companions, Telesiphe, Atthis, and Megara, as criminal,
and, on that account, have given her the surname of _Tribas_. She
conceived such a passion for Phaon, a youth of Mitylene, that upon
his refusal to gratify her desires, she threw herself into the sea
from mount Leucas. She had composed nine books in lyric verses,
besides epigrams, elegies, &c. Of all these compositions, nothing
now remains but two fragments, whose uncommon sweetness and elegance
show how meritoriously the praises of the ancients have been bestowed
upon a poetess, who for the sublimity of her genius was called the
10th Muse. Her compositions were all extant in the age of Horace.
The Lesbians were so sensible of the merit of Sappho, that, after
her death, they paid her divine honours, and raised her temples
and altars, and stamped their money with her image. The poetess has
been censured for writing with that licentiousness and freedom which
so much disgraced her character as a woman. The Sapphic verse has
been called after her name. _Ovid_, _Heroides_, poem 15; _Tristia_,

=Sardanapālus=, the 40th and last king of Assyria, celebrated for his
luxury and voluptuousness. The greatest part of his time was spent
in the company of his eunuchs, and the monarch generally appeared
in the midst of his concubines disguised in the habit of a female,
and spinning wool for his amusement. This effeminacy irritated his
officers; Belesis and Arsaces conspired against him, and collected
a numerous force to dethrone him. Sardanapalus quitted his
voluptuousness for a while, and appeared at the head of his armies.
The rebels were defeated in three successive battles, but at last
Sardanapalus was beaten and besieged in the city of Ninus for two
years. When he despaired of success, he burned himself in his palace,
with his eunuchs, concubines, and all his treasures, and the empire
of Assyria was divided among the conspirators. This famous event
happened B.C. 820, according to Eusebius; though Justin and others,
with less probability, place it 80 years earlier. Sardanapalus was
made a god after death. _Herodotus_, bk. 2, ch. 150.――_Diodorus_,

=Sardi=, the inhabitants of Sardinia. _See:_ Sardinia.
=Sardĭnia=, the greatest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is
situate between Italy and Africa, at the south of Corsica. It was
originally called _Sandaliotis_, or _Ichnusa_, from its resembling
the human foot (ἰχνος), and it received the name of Sardinia from
Sardus, a son of Hercules, who settled there with a colony which
he had brought with him from Libya. Other colonies, under Aristæus,
Norax, and Iolas, also settled there. The Carthaginians were long
masters of it, and were dispossessed by the Romans in the Punic wars,
B.C. 231. Some call it, with Sicily, one of the granaries of Rome.
The air was very unwholesome, though the soil was fertile, in corn,
in wine, and oil. Neither wolves nor serpents are found in Sardinia,
nor any poisonous herb, except one, which, when eaten, contracts the
nerves, and is attended with a paroxysm of laughter, the forerunner
of death; hence _risus Sardonicus, Sardous_. _Cicero_, _Letters to

=Sardis=, or =Sardes=, now _Sart_, a town of Asia Minor, the capital
of the kingdom of Lydia, situate at the foot of mount Tmolus, on
the banks of the Pactolus. It is celebrated for the many sieges
it sustained against the Cimmerians, Persians, Medes, Macedonians,
Ionians, and Athenians, and for the battle in which, B.C. 262,
Antiochus Soter was defeated by Eumenes king of Pergamus. It was
destroyed by an earthquake in the reign of Tiberius, who ordered
it to be rebuilt. It fell into the hands of Cyrus, B.C. 548, and
was burnt by the Athenians, B.C. 504, which became the cause of
the invasion of Attica by Darius. _Plutarch_, _Alexander_.――_Ovid_,

=Sarmătia=, an extensive country at the north of Europe and Asia,
divided into European and Asiatic. The European was bounded by the
ocean on the north, Germany and the Vistula on the west, the Jazygæ
on the south, and the Tanais on the east. The Asiatic was bounded
by Hyrcania, the Tanais, and the Euxine sea. The former contains
the modern kingdoms of _Russia_, _Poland_, _Lithuania_, and _Little
Tartary_; and the latter, _Great Tartary_, _Circassia_, and the
neighbouring country. The Sarmatians were a savage uncivilized nation,
often confounded with the Scythians, naturally warlike, and famous
for painting their bodies to appear more terrible in the field of
battle. They were well known for their lewdness, and they passed
among the Greeks and Latins by the name of barbarians. In the time
of the emperors they became very powerful, and disturbed the peace
of Rome by their frequent incursions; till at last, increased by
the savage hordes of Scythia, under the barbarous names of Huns,
Vandals, Goths, Alans, &c., they successfully invaded and ruined the
empire in the third and fourth centuries of the christian era. They
generally lived on the mountains without any habitation, except their
_chariots_, whence they have been called _Hamaxobii_. They lived upon
plunder, and fed upon milk mixed with the blood of horses. _Strabo_,

=Saron=, a king of Trœzene, unusually fond of hunting. He was drowned
in the sea, where he had swum for some miles in pursuit of a stag. He
was made a sea god by Neptune, and divine honours were paid to him by
the Trœzenians. It was customary for sailors to offer him sacrifices
before they embarked. That part of the sea where he was drowned was
called _Saronicus sinus_, on the coast of Achaia, near the isthmus
of Corinth. Saron built a temple to Diana at Trœzene, and instituted
festivals to her honour, called from himself Saronia, _Pausanias_,

=Saronĭcus sinus=, now _the gulf of Engia_, a bay of the Ægean sea,
lying at the south of Attica, and on the north of the Peloponnesus.
The entrance into it is between the promontory of Sunium and that
of Scyllæum. Some suppose that this part of the sea received its
name from Saron, who was drowned there, or from a small river which
discharged itself on the coast, or from a small harbour of the same
name. The Saronic bay is about 62 miles in circumference, 23 miles
in its broadest, and 25 in its longest part, according to modern
calculation.
=Sarpēdon=, a son of Jupiter by Europa the daughter of Agenor. He
banished himself from Crete, after he had in vain attempted to make
himself king in preference to his elder brother Minos, and he retired
to Caria, where he built the town of Miletus. He went to the Trojan
war to assist Priam against the Greeks, where he was attended by his
friend and companion Glaucus. He was at last killed by Patroclus,
after he had made a great slaughter of the enemy, and his body, by
order of Jupiter, was conveyed to Lycia by Apollo, where his friends
and relations paid him funeral honours, and raised a monument to
perpetuate his valour. According to some mythologists, the brother
of king Minos, and the prince who assisted Priam, were two different
persons. This last was king of Lycia, and son of Jupiter by Laodamia
the daughter of Bellerophon, and lived about 100 years after the age
of the son of Europa. _Apollodorus_, bk. 3, ch. 1.――_Herodotus_,
