ANTIPATER.
When subsequently Attica was invaded by the
Amazons, Antiope fought with Theseus against
them, and died the death of a heroine bv his side.
(Comp. Diod. iv. 28; Plut. Tlses. 26, 27.) According to Hyginus (Fab. 241) Antiope was a
daughter of Ares, and was killed by Theseus himself in consequence of an oracle.
3. A daughter of Pylon or Pylaon, was married
to Eurytus, by whom she became the mother of
the Argonauts Iphitus and Clytius. She is also
called Antioche. (Apollon. Rhod. i. 86; Hygin.
Fab. 14, with Muncker's note.)
4. A daughter of Aeolus, by whom Poseidon
begot Boeotus and Hellen. (Hygin. Fab. 157;
Diod. iv. 67, who calls the mother of these two
heroes Arne.) [AEOL, US.]
Two other mythical personages of this name occur in Apollod. ii. 7. ~ 8, and in Serv. ad Aen. vi.
46, though Servius seems to confound Antiope
with Anteia, the wife of Proetus. [L. S.]
ANTI'PATER, a celebrated chaser of silver.
(Plin. xxxiii. 55.) [P. S.]
ANTI'PATER ('AYTn7ra-rpo), a writer on the
interpretation of dreams (Oneirocritica), mentioned
by Artemidorus. (Oneir. iv. 64.) [L. S.]
ANTI'PATER ('AVTrirarpos), of ACANTHUS, a
Greek grammarian of uncertain date (Ptolem.
Heph. ap. Phot. Cod. 190; Eustath. ad Hom. Od.
xi. p. 453), who is probably the same as the one
mentioned by the Scholiast on Aristophanes. (Av.
1403.) [L. S.]
ANTI'PATER ('Avrs'rarpos), an ASTROLOGER.r mathematician, who wrote a work upon geneth-.ialogia, in which he endeavoured to explain man's
ate, not from the circumstances under which he
was born, but from those under which he had been:onceived. (Vitruv. ix. 7.) [L. S.]
ANTI'PATER('Av7ilrarpos),bishop of BOSTRA
n Arabia, flourished about 460 A. D. His chief
vork was 'AvTipjao?7is, a reply to Pamphilus's Apoogy for Origen, some fragments of which are conained in the Acts of the 2nd council of Nice. He
Iso wrote a homily on John the Baptist, and some,ther discourses. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. x. p. 518;
iave, Hist. Litt. sub ann. 460.) [P. S.]
ANTIPATER ('AveriTrarpos), the father of,ASSANDER, was an officer in high favour with
'hilip of Macedon (Just. ix. 4), who after his vic)ry at Chaeroneia, B. c. 338, selected him to conuct to Athens the bones of the Athenians who
ad fallen in the battle. (Just. 1. c.; Polyb. v. 10.)
le joined Parmenion in the ineffectual advice to
Llexander the Great not to set out on his Asiatic
spedition till he had provided by marriage for
ie succession to the throne (Diod xvii. 16); and,
i the king's departure, B. c. 334, he was left.gent in Macedonia. (Diod. xvii. 17; Arr. Anab.
p. 12, a.) In B. c. 331 Antipater suppressed
ie Thracian rebellion under Memnon (Diod. xvii.
2), and also brought the war with the Spartans
ider Agis III. to a successful termination. (See
72, b.) It is with reference to this event that
e first find any intimation of Alexander's jealousy
Antipater-a feeling which was not improbably
eoduced or fostered by the representations of
lympias, and perhaps by the known sentiments
Antipater himself. (Curt. vi. 1. ~ 17, &c., x. 10.
14; Plut. Ages. p. 604, b., Alex. pp. 688, c.,
)5, f.; Perizon, ad Ael. V. H. xii. 16; Thirlw.
r. Hist. vol. vii. p. 89; but see Plut. Phoc. p.
9, e.; Ael. V. H. i. 25.) Whether, however,

ANTIPATER. 201
from jealousy or from the necessity of guarding
against the evil consequences of the dissensions
between Olympias and Antipater, the latter was
ordered to lead into Asia the fresh troops required
by the king, B. c. 324, while Craterus, under whom
the discharged veterans were sent home, was appointed to the regency in Macedonia. (Arr. vii.
p. 155; Pseudo-Curt. x. 4. ~ 9, &c.; Just. xii. 12.)
The story which ascribes the death of Alexander,
B'. c. 323, to poison, and implicates Antipater and
even Aristotle in the plot, is perhaps sufficiently
refuted by its own intrinsic absurdity, and is set
aside as false by Arrian and Plutarch. (Diod. xvii.
118; Paus. viii. 18; Tac. Ann. ii. 73; Curt. x. 10.
~ 14, &c.; Arr. vii. p. 167; Plut. Alex. ad fin.;
Liv. viii. 3; Diod. xix. 11; Athen. x. p. 434, c.)
On Alexander's death, the regency of Macedonia
was assigned to Antipater, and he forthwith found
himself engaged in a war with a strong confederacy
of Grecian states with Athens at their head. At
first he was defeated by Leosthenes, and besieged
in Lamia, whence he even sent an embassy to
Athens with an unsuccessful application for peace.
(Diod. xviii. 3, 12, 18; Paus. i. 25; Just. xiii. 5;
Plut. Phioc. p. 752, b., Demosth. p. 858, d.) The
approach of Leonnatus obliged the Athenians to
raise the siege, and the death of that general, who
was defeated by Antiphilus (the successor of Leosthenes), and who was in league against the regent
with Olympias, was far more an advantage than a
loss to Antipater. (Diod. xviii. 14, 15; Just. xiii.
5; Plut. Eum. p. 584, d. e.) Being joined by
Craterus, he defeated the confederates at Cranon,
and succeeded in dissolving the league by the prudence and moderation with which he at first used
his victory. Athens herself was obliged to purchase peace by the abolition of democracy and the
admission of a garrison into Munychia, the latter
of which conditions might surely have enabled
Antipater to dispense with the destruction of
Demosthenes and the chiefs of his party. (Diod.
xviii. 16-18; Plut. Phioc. pp. 753, 754, D)mosih.
p. 858; Paus. vii. 10; Thirlw. Gr. Hist. vol. vii.
p. 187, note 1; Backh, Publ. Econ. ofAthens, i. 7,
iv. 3.) Returning now to Macedonia, he gave his
daughter Phila in marriage to Craterus, with whom,
at the end of the year B. c. 323, he invaded the
Aetolians, the only party in the Lamian war who
had not yet submitted. (Diod. xviii. 24.) But
the intelligence brought him by Antigonus of the
treachery of Perdiccas, and of his intention of putting away Nicaea, Antipater's daughter, to marry
Cleopatra, compelled him to pass over to Asia;
where, leaving Craterus to act against Eumenes,
he himself hastened after Perdiccas, who was
marching towards Egypt against Ptolemy. (Diod.
xviii. 23, 25, 29-33; Plut. Eum. pp. 585, 586;
Just. xiii. 6.) On the murder of Perdiccas, the
supreme regency devolved on Antipater, who, at
Triparadeisus in Syria, successfully maintained his
power against Eurydice, the queen. Marching
into Lydia, he avoided a battle with. Eumenes, and
he on his side was dissuaded from attacking Anti-.pater by Cleopatra, who wished to give the regent
no cause of complaint. Towards the close of the
year 321, he returned into Europe, taking with
him the king and queen, and leaving Antigonus to
prosecute the war with Eumenes. (Diod. xviii. 39,
40; Plut. Eum. p. 588, a.) It was during the
mortal illness of Antipater, B.c. 320, that Demades
was sent to him from Athens to endeavour to ob
