§1.8.1ἀπαιτεῖ δὲ ὁ λόγος δηλῶσαι καὶ τὰ ἐς Ἄτταλον ἔχοντα, ὅτι καὶ οὗτος τῶν ἐπωνύμων ἐστὶν Ἀθηναίοις.
Now, the narrative demands to declare also the things concerning Attalus, because he too is one of the eponymous heroes for the Athenians.
ἀνὴρ Μακεδὼν Δόκιμος ὄνομα, στρατηγὸς Ἀντιγόνου, Λυσιμάχῳ παραδοὺς ὕστερον αὑτὸν καὶ τὰ χρήματα, Φιλέταιρον Παφλαγόνα εἶχεν εὐνοῦχον.
A Macedonian man named Docimus, a general of Antigonus, who later surrendered himself and his money to Lysimachus, had Philetaerus, a Paphlagonian eunuch, as a subordinate.
ὅσα μὲν δὴ Φιλεταίρῳ πεπραγμένα ἐς τὴν ἀπόστασίν ἐστι τὴν ἀπὸ Λυσιμάχου καὶ ὡς Σέλευκον ἐπηγάγετο, ἔσται μοι τῶν ἐς Λυσίμαχον παρενθήκη· ὁ δὲ Ἄτταλος Ἀττάλου μὲν παῖς ὤν, ἀδελφιδοῦς δὲ Φιλεταίρου, τὴν ἀρχὴν Εὐμένους παραδόντος ἔσχεν ἀνεψιοῦ.
All the things done by Philetaerus regarding his revolt from Lysimachus and how he brought in Seleucus, will be a digression for me in the account concerning Lysimachus; but Attalus, being a son of Attalus and a nephew of Philetaerus, received the rule when his cousin Eumenes handed it over.
μέγιστον δέ ἐστίν οἱ τῶν ἔργων· Γαλάτας γὰρ ἐς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἔτι καὶ νῦν ἔχουσιν, ἀναφυγεῖν ἠνάγκασεν ἀπὸ θαλάσσης.
The greatest of his deeds is this: he forced the Galatians to flee up from the sea into the land which they hold even now.
§1.8.2μετὰ δὲ τὰς εἰκόνας τῶν ἐπωνύμων ἐστὶν ἀγάλματα θεῶν, Ἀμφιάραος καὶ Εἰρήνη φέρουσα Πλοῦτον παῖδα.
¦0 After the statues of the eponymous heroes are statues of gods, Amphiaraus, and Peace carrying the child Plutus.
ἐνταῦθα Λυκοῦργός τε κεῖται χαλκοῦς ὁ Λυκόφρονος καὶ Καλλίας, ὃς πρὸς Ἀρταξέρξην τὸν Ξέρξου τοῖς Ἕλλησιν, ὡς Ἀθηναίων οἱ πολλοὶ λέγουσιν, ἔπραξε τὴν εἰρήνην· ἔστι δὲ καὶ Δημοσθένης, ὃν ἐς Καλαυρείαν Ἀθηναῖοι τὴν πρὸ Τροιζῆνος νῆσον ἠνάγκασαν ἀποχωρῆσαι, δεξάμενοι δὲ ὕστερον διώκουσιν αὖθις μετὰ τὴν ἐν Λαμίᾳ πληγήν.
There stands Lycurgus in bronze, the son of Lycophron, and Callias, who, as the majority of the Athenians say, negotiated the peace with Artaxerxes the son of Xerxes for the Greeks; there is also Demosthenes, whom the Athenians forced to withdraw to Calauria, the island off Troezen, but having received him back later, they exiled him again after the defeat at Lamia.
§1.8.3Δημοσθένης δέ ὡς τὸ δεύτερον ἔφυγε, περαιοῦται καὶ τότε ἐς τὴν Καλαυρείαν, ἔνθα δὴ πιὼν φάρμακον ἐτελεύτησεν· φυγάδα τε Ἕλληνα μόνον τοῦτον Ἀντιπάτρῳ καὶ Μακεδόσιν οὐκ ἀνήγαγεν Ἀρχίας.
And when Demosthenes fled for the second time, he crossed over also then to Calauria, where indeed having drunk poison he died; and Archias did not bring back this man alone among the Greek exiles to Antipater and the Macedonians.
ὁ δὲ Ἀρχίας οὗτος Θούριος ὢν ἔργον ἤρατο ἀνόσιον· ὅσοι Μακεδόσιν ἔπραξαν ἐναντία πρὶν ἢ τοῖς Ἕλλησι τὸ πταῖσμα τὸ ἐν Θεσσαλίᾳ γενέσθαι, τούτους ἦγεν Ἀρχίας Ἀντιπάτρῳ δώσοντας δίκην.
This Archias, being from Thurii, undertook an unholy task: as many as had acted against the Macedonians before the disaster in Thessaly befell the Greeks, these Archias brought to Antipater to pay the penalty.
Δημοσθένει μὲν ἡ πρὸς Ἀθηναίους ἄγαν εὔνοια ἐς τοῦτο ἐχώρησεν· εὖ δέ μοι λελέχθαι δοκεῖ ἄνδρα ἀφειδῶς ἐκπεσόντα ἐς πολιτείαν καὶ πιστὰ ἡγησάμενον τὰ τοῦ δήμου μήποτε καλῶς τελευτῆσαι.
For Demosthenes, his excessive goodwill towards the Athenians ended in this; and it seems to me to have been well said that a man who has flung himself unsparingly into public life and has deemed the democracy's promises trustworthy never comes to a good end.
§1.8.4τῆς δὲ τοῦ Δημοσθένους εἰκόνος πλησίον Ἄρεώς ἐστιν ἱερόν, ἔνθα ἀγάλματα δύο μὲν Ἀφροδίτης κεῖται, τὸ δὲ τοῦ Ἄρεως ἐποίησεν Ἀλκαμένης, τὴν δὲ Ἀθηνᾶν ἀνὴρ Πάριος, ὄνομα δὲ αὐτῷ Λόκρος.
Near the statue of Demosthenes is a sanctuary of Ares, where stand two statues of Aphrodite, while that of Ares was made by Alcamenes, and the Athena by a man of Paros, whose name was Locrus.
ἐνταῦθα καὶ Ἐνυοῦς ἄγαλμά ἐστιν, ἐποίησαν δὲ οἱ παῖδες οἱ Πραξιτέλους· περὶ δὲ τὸν ναὸν ἑστᾶσιν Ἡρακλῆς καὶ Θησεὺς καὶ Ἀπόλλων ἀναδούμενος ταινίᾳ τὴν κόμην, ἀνδριάντες δὲ Καλάδης Ἀθηναίοις ὡς λέγεται νόμους γράψας καὶ Πίνδαρος ἄλλα τε εὑρόμενος παρὰ Ἀθηναίων καὶ τὴν εἰκόνα, ὅτι σφᾶς ἐπῄνεσεν ᾆσμα ποιήσας.
There is also a statue of Enyo, which the sons of Praxiteles made; and around the temple stand Heracles, Theseus, and Apollo binding his hair with a fillet, and statues of Calades, who is said to have written laws for the Athenians, and Pindar, who obtained other rewards from the Athenians and also his statue, because he praised them in a poem.
§1.8.5οὐ πόρρω δὲ ἑστᾶσιν Ἁρμόδιος καὶ Ἀριστογείτων οἱ κτείναντες Ἵππαρχον· αἰτία δὲ ἥτις ἐγένετο καὶ τὸ ἔργον ὅντινα τρόπον ἔπραξαν, ἑτέροις ἐστὶν εἰρημένα.
Not far away stand Harmodius and Aristogeiton, who killed Hipparchus; the cause which arose and the manner in which they performed the deed have been told by others.
τῶν δὲ ἀνδριάντων οἱ μέν εἰσι Κριτίου τέχνη, τοὺς δὲ ἀρχαίους ἐποίησεν Ἀντήνωρ· Ξέρξου δέ, ὡς εἷλεν Ἀθήνας ἐκλιπόντων τὸ ἄστυ Ἀθηναίων, ἀπαγαγομένου καὶ τούτους ἅτε λάφυρα, κατέπεμψεν ὕστερον Ἀθηναίοις Ἀντίοχος.
Of the statues, some are the work of Critius, while the ancient ones were made by Antenor; and when Xerxes took Athens after the Athenians had abandoned the city, and carried these off also as plunder, Antiochus later sent them back to the Athenians.
§1.8.6τοῦ θεάτρου δὲ ὃ καλοῦσιν Ὠιδεῖον ἀνδριάντες πρὸ τῆς ἐσόδου βασιλέων εἰσὶν Αἰγυπτίων.
Before the entrance of the theater which they call the Odeum, there are statues of Egyptian kings.
ὀνόματα μὲν δὴ κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ Πτολεμαῖοί σφισιν, ἄλλη δὲ ἐπίκλησις ἄλλῳ· καὶ γὰρ Φιλομήτορα καλοῦσι καὶ Φιλάδελφον ἕτερον, τὸν δὲ τοῦ Λάγου Σωτῆρα παραδόντων Ῥοδίων τὸ ὄνομα.
They indeed all have the name Ptolemy in common, but each has a different surname; for they call one Philometor, and another Philadelphus, and the son of Lagus 'Saviour' (Soter), the Rhodians having bestowed the name.
τῶν δὲ ἄλλων ὁ μὲν Φιλάδελφός ἐστιν οὗ καὶ πρότερον μνήμην ἐν τοῖς ἐπωνύμοις ἐποιησάμην, πλησίον δέ οἱ καὶ Ἀρσινόης τῆς ἀδελφῆς ἐστιν εἰκών.
Of the others, Philadelphus is the one of whom I made mention before among the eponymous heroes, and near him is also a statue of his sister Arsinoe.
