A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Timo'crates (search)
Timo'crates 4. A Rhodian, who was sent into Greece by the satrap Tithraustes in B. C. 395, taking with him fifth talents wherewith to bribe the leading men in the several states to excite a war against Sparta at home, and so to compel the return of Agesilaus from his victorious career in Asia.

nt to the king for reinforcements, and on their arrival arrogantly commanded Agesilaus to withdraw from Asia. To this the Spartan king replied that he thanked the satrap for having, by his perjury, made the gods the allies of Greece. Having then induced his wily and selfish enemy to believe that Caria was the object of his attack, and thus induced him to concentrate his forces in that direction, Agesilaus carried the war successfully into the satrapy of Pharnabazus. In the following year, B. C. 395. he declared his intention of invading the richest portion of the enemy's country, and Tissaphernes, imagining that, if this had been his real purpose, he would not have revealed it, and that his operations therefore would now be indeed directed against Caria, again arranged his forces for the defence of that province. Agesilaus then, in accordance with what he had given out, marched into the country about Sardis, ravaged it for three days, and defeated a body of cavalry which Tissaphernes
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Tithraustes (search)
Tithraustes （*Tiqrau/sths), a Persian, who was commissioned by Artaxerxes II. (Mnemon), in B. C. 395, to put Tissaphernes to death, and to succeed him in his satrapy. On his arrival at Colossae in Phrygia, he caused Tissaphernes to be slain, and sent his head to the king. He then opened negotiations with Agesilaus, representing to him that, as the chief promoter of the war was dead, there was no longer any occasion for the presence of a Spartan army in Asia, and proposing peace on condition that the Asiatic Greeks should be independent, only paying their ancient tribute to Persia. To this Agesilaus would not consent in the absence of instructions from home, and Tithraustes then persuaded him to remove the war from his satrapy into that of Pharnabazus, and even supplied him with money for the expedition. Being soon after convinced that Agesilaus had no intention of leaving Asia, Tithraustes sent Timocrates, the Rhodian, into Greece with fifty talents, which he was ordered to distribut

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Xe'nocles (search)
Xe'nocles （*Cenoklh=s), a Spartan, was one of those who, under Herippidas, were sent out to supersede Lysander and his colleagues as counsellors to Agesilaus in his Asiatic expedition, B. C. 395. On his arrival, Xenocles with one other officer was appointed by the king to the command of the cavalry. When Agesilaus, having been recalled to Greece, in B. C. 394, was on his march through Thessaly, he sent Xenocles and Scythes to Larissa to propose terms of peace; but the Larissaeans arrested the two envoys, who however were soon restored under a treaty. (Xen. Hell. 3.4.20; Diod. 14.80; Plut. Ages. 16. [E.
