170 ANDRAGATHUS.
Taylor ascribed it to Phaeax, while others think it
more probable that it is the work of some of the
later rhetoricians, with whom the accusation or defence of Alcibiades was a standing theme. Besides
these four orations we possess only a few fragments
and some very vague allusions to other orations.
(Sluiter, Lect. And. p. 239, &c.) As an orator
Andocides does not appear to have been held in
very high esteem by the ancients, as he is seldom
mentioned, though Valerius Theon is said to have
written a commentary on his orations. (Suidas,
s. V. eo'wv.) We do not hear of his having been
trained in any of the sophistical schools of the
time, and he had probably developed his talents in
the practical school of the popular assembly. Hence
his orations have no mannerism in them, and are
really, as Plutarch says, simple and free from all
rhetorical pomp and ornament. (Comp. Dionys.
Hal. de Lys. 2, de Thucyd. Jud. 51.) Sometimes,
however, his style is diffuse, and becomes tedious
and obscure. The best among the orations is that
on the Mysteries; but, for the history of the time,
all are of the highest importance. The orations
are printed in the collections of the Greek orators
by Aldus, H. Stephens, Reiske, Bekker, and
others. The best separate editions are those of
C. Schiller, Leipzig, 1835, 8vo., and of Baiter and
Sauppe, Zurich, 1838. The most important works
on the life and orations of Andocides are: J, 0.

ANDRAEMON ('Avpaecuv). 1. The husband of Gorge, the daughter of the Calydonian
king Oeneus, and father of Thoas. When Diomedes delivered Oeneus, who had been imprisoned
by the sons of Agrius, he gave the kingdom to
Andraemon, since Oeneus was already too old.
(Apollod. i. 8. ~~ 1 and 6; Hoem. II. ii. 638; Paus.
v. 3. ~ 5.) Antoninus Liberalis (37) represents
Oeneus as resuming the government after his
liberation. The tomb of Andraemon, together
with that of his wife Gorge, was seen at Amphissa
in the time of Pausanias. (x. 38. ~ 3.) Apollodorus (ii. 8. ~ 3) calls Oxylus a son of Andraemon,
which might seem to allude to a different Andraemon from the one we are here speaking of; but
there is evidently some mistake here; for Pausanias (1. c.) and Strabo (x. p. 463, &c.) speak of
Oxylus as the son of Haemon, who was a son of
Thoas, so that the Oxylus in Apollodorus must be
a great-grandson of Andraemon. Hence Heyne
proposes to read Ai'uoros instead of 'Avapaijoros.
2. A son of the Oxylus mentioned above, and
husband of Dryope, who was mother of Amphissus
by Apollo. (Ov. Met. ix. 363; Anton. Lib. 32.)
There are two other mythical personages of this
name, the one a son of Codrus (Paus. vii. 3. ~ 2),
and the other a Pylian, and founder of Colophon.
(Strab, xiv. p. 633.) [L. S.]
ANDRAEMO'NIDES ('AvSpaijCovi'qs), a patronymic from Andraemon, frequently given to his
son Thoas. Hom. II. ii. 638, vii. 168, &c.) [L. S.]
ANDRA GATHUS ( ASapdyaOos) was left by
PDemetrius in command of Amphipolis, B. c. 287,
bat treacherously surrendered it to Lysimachus.
(Polyaen. iv. 12. ~ 2.)

ANDREAS.
ANDRANODO'RUS, the son-in-law of Hiero,
was appointed guardian of IHieronymus, the grandson of Iliero, after the death of the latter. He
advised Hieronymus to break off the alliance with
the Romans, and connect himself with Hannibal.
After the assassination of Hieronymus, Andranodorus seized upon the island and the citadel with
the intention of usurping the royal power; but
finding difficulties in the way, he judged it more
prudent to surrender them to the Syracusans, and
was elected in consequence one of their generals.
But the suspicions of the people becoming excited
against him, he was killed shortly afterwards,
B. c. 214. (Liv. xxiv. 4-7, 21-25.)
A'NDREAS ('Av'piEas), of uncertain date,
wrote a work on the cities of Sicily, of which the
thirty-third book is referred to by Athenaeus.
(xiv. p. 634, a.)
A'NDREAS ('Avapeas), of Argos, a sculptor,
whose time is not known. He made a statue of
Lysippus, the Elean, victor in the boys'-wrestling.
(Paus. vi. 16. ~ 5.) [P. S.]
A'NDREAS ('AvapEs), the name of several
Greek physicians, whom it is difficult to distinguish
from each other. The Andreas Comes, quoted
several times by Aetius (which title means Comes
A rchiatrorum), was certainly the latest of all, and
probably lived shortly before Aetius himself (that
is, in the fourth or fifth century after Christ), as
the title was only introduced under the Roman
emperors. (Diet. of Ant. s. v. Archiater.) If,
for want of any positive data, all the other passages where the name Andreas occurs be supposed
to refer to the same person (which may possibly
be the case), he was a native of Carystus in Euboea (Cassius latros. Problem. Phys. ~ 58), the
son of Chrysar or Chrysaor (d TUv Xpv'crapos or
Xpvcrdopos), if the name be not corrupt (Galen,
Explicat. Vocumn Hippocr. s. v. 'IvSucKV, vol. xix.,
p. 105), and one of the followers of Herophilus,
(Cels. De Medic. v. Praef. p. 81; Soran. D(
Arte Obstetr. c. 48. p. 101.) He was physiciar
to Ptolemy Philopator, king of Egypt, and wam
killed while in attendance on that prince, shortl)
before the battle of Raphia (B. c. 217), by Theo
dotus the Aetolian, who had secretly entered the
tent with the intent to murder the king. (Polyb
v. 81.) He wrote several medical works, of whicl
nothing remains but the titles, and a few extract
preserved by different ancient authors. He wa
probably the first person who wrote a treatise o0
hydrophobia, which he called Kvvo'Xavoros. (Cae

On iMledical Genealogy, lie is said by Soranus, i
