HERACLEA PONTICA,
Siege of.
Heraclea, a flourishing town of Greek origin on the Phrygian
coast, called Heraclea Pontica to distinguish it from other
towns of like name, was besieged for some two years by the
Romans in the Third Mithridatic War. It was surrendered
through treachery, B. C. 70, and suffered so greatly from the
ensuing pillage and massacre that it never recovered. The
Roman commander, Cotta, was afterwards prosecuted at Rome for
appropriating the plunder of Heraclea, which included a famous
statue of Hercules, with a golden club.

HERACLEIDÆ, OR HERAKLEIDS, The.
Among the ancient Greeks the reputed descendants of the
demi-god hero, Herakles, or Hercules, were very numerous.
"Distinguished families are everywhere to be traced who bear
his patronymic and glory in the belief that they are his
descendants. Among Achæans, Kadmeians, and Dorians, Hêraklês
is venerated: the latter especially treat him as their
principal hero—the Patron Hero-God of the race: the
Hêrakleids form among all Dorians a privileged gens, in which
at Sparta the special lineage of the two kings was included."
_G. Grote,
History of Greece,
part 1, chapter 4 (volume 1)._
"The most important, and the most fertile in consequences, of
all the migrations of Grecian races, and which continued even
to the latest periods to exert its influence upon the Greek
character, was the expedition of the Dorians into
Peloponnesus. … The traditionary name of this expedition is
'the Return of the Descendants of Hercules' [or 'the Return of
the Heraclidæ']. Hercules, the son of Zeus, is (even in the
Iliad), both by birth and destiny, the hereditary prince of
Tiryns and Mycenæ, and ruler of the surrounding nations. But
through some evil chance Eurystheus obtained the precedency
and the son of Zeus was compelled to serve him. Nevertheless
he is represented as having bequeathed to his descendants his
claims to the dominion of Peloponnesus, which they afterwards
made good in conjunction with the Dorians; Hercules having
also performed such actions in behalf of this race that his
descendants were always entitled to the possession of
one-third of the territory. The heroic life of Hercules was
therefore the mythical title, through which the Dorians were
made to appear, not as unjustly invading, but merely as
reconquering, a country which had belonged to their princes in
former times."
