of beauty, and mother of love. She sprang from the foam of the sea, and
was carried to heaven, where all the gods admired her beauty. Jupiter
gave her in marriage to Vulcan, but she intrigued with some of the gods,
and, notably, with Mars, their offspring being Hermione, Cupid, and
Anteros. She became enamored of Adonis, which caused her to abandon
Olympus. Her contest for the golden apple, which she gained against her
opponents Juno and Minerva, is a prominent episode in mythology. She had
numerous names applied to her, conspicuous amongst which may be named
Anadyomene, under which cognomen she is distinguished by the picture,
representing her as rising from the ocean, by Apelles. She was known
under the Grecian name of Aphrodite.
=Vespasia´nus Ti´tus Fla´vius.= A Roman emperor of obscure descent. He
began the siege of Jerusalem, which was continued by his son Titus. He
died A.D. 79, in his seventieth year.
=Ves´ta.= A goddess, daughter of Rhea and Saturn. The Palladium, a
celebrated statue of Pallas, was supposed to be preserved within her
sanctuary, where a fire was kept continually burning.
=Vesta´les.= The Vestals, priestesses consecrated to the service of Vesta.
They were required to be of good families and free from blemish and
deformity. One of their chief duties was to see that the sacred fire of
Vesta was not extinguished.
=Virgil´ius, Pub´lius Ma´ro=, called the prince of the Latin poets, was
born at Andes, near Mantua, about seventy years before Christ. He went
to Rome, where he formed an acquaintance with Mæcenas, and recommended
himself to Augustus. His Bucolics were written in about three years, and
subsequently he commenced the Georgics, which is considered one of the
most perfect of all Latin compositions. The Æneid is supposed to have
been undertaken at the request of Augustus. Virgil died in his
fifty-first year B.C. 19.
=Virgin´ia.= Daughter of the centurion L. Virginius. She was slain by her
father to save her from the violence of the decemvir, Appius Claudius.
=Virgin´ius.= A valiant Roman, father of Virginia. (See Virginia.) The
story of Virginius and his ill-fated daughter is the subject of the
well-known tragedy of "Virginius," one of the early productions of J.
Sheridan Knowles. It is rarely performed in the present day.
=Vulca´nus.= The god who presided over fire, and who was the patron of
those who worked in iron. According to Homer, he was the son of Jupiter
and Juno, and was so deformed, that at his birth his mother threw him
into the sea, where he remained nine years; but other writers differ
from this opinion. He married Venus at the instigation of Jupiter. He is
known by the name of Mulciber. The Cyclopes were his attendants, and
with them he forged the thunderbolts of Jupiter.
=Xanthip´pe= or =Xantip´pe=. The wife of Socrates, remarkable for her
ill-humor and fretful disposition. She was a constant torment to her
husband, and on one occasion, after bitterly reviling him, she emptied a
vessel of dirty water on him, on which the philosopher coolly remarked,
"After thunder rain generally falls."
=Xenoc´rates.= An ancient philosopher born at Calcedonia, and educated in
the school of Plato, whose friendship he gained. Died B.C. 314.
=Xen´ophon.= A celebrated Athenian, son of Gryllus, famous as a general,
philosopher, and historian. He joined Cyrus the Younger in an expedition
against Artaxerxes, king of Persia, and after the decisive battle of
Cunaxa, in which Cyrus was defeated and killed, the skill and bravery of
Xenophon became conspicuous. He had to direct an army of ten thousand
Greeks, who were now more than six hundred leagues from home, and in a
country surrounded by an active enemy. He rose superior to all
difficulties till the celebrated "Retreat of the Ten Thousand" was
effected; the Greeks returning home after a march of two hundred and
fifteen days. Xenophon employed his pen in describing the expedition of
Cyrus, in his work the "Anabasis." He also wrote the "Cyropædia,"
"Memorabilia," "Hellenica," etc. He died at Corinth in his ninetieth
year, about 360 years before the Christian era.
=Xer´xes= succeeded his father Darius on the throne of Persia. He entered
Greece with an immense army, which was checked at Thermopylæ by the
valor of three hundred Spartans under king Leonidas, who, for three
successive days, successfully opposed the enormous forces of Xerxes, and
were at last slaughtered. From this period the fortunes of Xerxes waned.
His fleet being defeated at Salamis, and mortified with ill-success, he
hastened to Persia, where he gave himself up to debauchery, and was
murdered in the twenty-first year of his reign, about 464 years before
the Christian era.
=Za´ma.= A town of Numidia, celebrated as the scene of the victory of
Scipio over Hannibal, B.C. 202.
=Ze´no=, a celebrated philosopher, the founder of the sect of Stoics, was
born at Citium in Cyprus. He opened a school in Athens, and soon became
noticed by the great and learned. His life was devoted to sobriety and
moderation. He died at the age of ninety-eight, B.C. 264.
=Ze´no.= A philosopher of Elea or Velia, in Italy. He was the disciple,
or, according to some, the adopted son of Parmenides. Being tortured to
cause him to reveal his confederates in a plot he had engaged in, he bit
off his tongue that he might not betray his friends.
=Zeno´bia.= A celebrated princess of Palmyra, the wife of Odenatus. After
her husband's death, the Roman emperor Aurelian declared war against
her. She took the field with seven hundred thousand men, and though at
first successful, she was eventually conquered. Aurelian, when she
became his prisoner, treated her with great humanity and consideration.
She was admired for her literary talents as well as her military
abilities.
=Zeux´is.= A celebrated painter born at Heraclea. He flourished 468 years
before the Christian era. He painted some grapes so naturally that the
birds came to peck them on the canvas; but he was disgusted with the
picture, because the man painted as carrying the grapes was not natural
enough to frighten the birds.
=Zo´ilus.= A sophist and grammarian of Amphipolis, B.C. 259. He became
known by his severe criticisms on the works of Isocrates and Homer.
=Zoroas´ter.= A king of Bactria, supposed to have lived in the age of
Ninus, king of Assyria, some time before the Trojan war. He rendered
himself known by his deep researches in philosophy. He admitted no
visible object of devotion except fire, which he considered the proper
emblem of a Supreme Being. He was respected by his subjects and
contemporaries for his abilities as a monarch, a lawgiver, and a
philosopher, and though many of his doctrines may be deemed puerile, he
had many disciples. The religion of the Parsees of the present day was
founded by Zoroaster.
=Zos´imus.= A Greek historian who lived about the year 410 of the
Christian era. He wrote a history of some of the Roman emperors, which
is characterized by graceful diction, but he indulges in malevolent and
vituperative attacks on the Christians in his History of Constantine.
