Lycurgus

2. A son of Aleus and Neaera, and a brother of Cepheus and Auge, was king in Arcadia, and married to Cleophile, Eurynome, or Antinoe, by whom he became the father of Ancaeus, Epochus, Amphidamas, and Jasus. (Apollod. 3.9.1, &c.; Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod. 1.164.) Some also call Cepheus his son, and add another of the name of Jocrites. (Apollod. 1.8.2; Steph. Byz. s. v. Βωταχίδαι.) Lycurgus killed Areithous with his lance, meeting him in a narrow valley. He took the club with which his enemy had been armed, and used it himself; and on his death he bequeathed it to his slave Ereuthalion, his sons having died before him. (Horn. Il. 7.142, &c.; Paus. 8.4.7.) His tomb was afterwards shown at Lepreos. (Paus. 5.5.4.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
