See Dido (2) by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
A character from the epic poem The Aeneid by the Roman poet, Virgil.
Dido was the queen of the city of Carthage on the northern coast of Africa; she fled her home city of Tyre and founded Carthage with a fortune she had hidden from her greedy brother, Pygmalion.
After the fall of the city of Troy, Dido welcomed the defeated army of Aineias and gave him every courtesy; the Roman goddess of Love, Venus, cast a spell on Dido and she was easily duped by Aineias into giving him all he needed to re-equip his fleet.
Aineias took Dido’s money and love without giving a thought to her feelings or her queenly image; when Aineias sailed away without a thank-you or goodbye, Dido killed herself rather than suffer the pain of loneliness of the humiliation of her naiveté.

A Greek historian of the late first century BCE; a good deal of his works survive and are important because he references sources which are no longer available to us; his books include historical and mythological material.
See Diodorus Sikulus by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
(412?-323 BCE) A Greek cynic philosopher and social critic in the cities of Athens and Korinth (Corinth).
Diogenes was from Sinope on the Euxine (Black Sea); he led a simplistic, austere life he was said to have slept in an earthen tub (the Kernos) in the Sanctuary of the Mother of the Gods, Kybele (Cybele), at Athens; he was kidnapped while at sea and sold as a slave in the city of Korinth (Corinth); he is reputed to have said, “Sell me to that man, he needs a master.”
None of his work survives but quotes and commentary from other classical authors give us a hint as to his impact on his times; he was referred to as “Dog” or “The Dog.”
For a more complete biography and translation of his quoted works I suggest the book “7 Greeks” by Guy Davenport (ISBN 0811212882); this book can be found at your library in section 881 or you can order this book through the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.

One of the Thirty Tyrants elected to rule the city of Athens after the end of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE).
Having lost the war to the Spartans, the citizens of Athens elected thirty men to lead the new post-war government; these men became known as the Thirty Tyrants; the short lived government they comprised was an oligarchy.
The tyrants immediately began to prosecute Athenians who had been Spartan informers and collaborators during the long, hard war; the punishment of the guilty seemed appropriate to the common citizens and aristocrats alike but it soon became clear that the executions and banishments were going beyond the bounds of necessity or prudence; open hostilities soon developed between members of the Thirty and their authority and rule came to an end after one year.
See Diokles by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
A Greek hero in the Trojan War; the husband of Aigialeia; the son of Tydeus and the captain of the army from Argos.
Diomedes is mentioned often in The Iliad but his most astonishing accomplishment is the wounding of Aphrodite; Athene (Athena) “lifted the mist from his eyes” and allowed him to perceive the Immortals on the battlefield; when Aphrodite attempted to protect her son, Aineias (Aeneas), Diomedes lunged at her and wounded her on the hand.
Diomedes was also one of the Epigoni and helped to successfully capture the city of Thebes a generation after his father had died in an attempt to capture the city.
See Diomedes (1) by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
A king of Thrake (Thrace) who fed his wild mares on human flesh and was either killed by Herakles (Heracles) or fed to the horses by Herakles; this was a part of the Eighth Labor of Herakles.
See Diomedes (2) by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
(circa 408-353 BCE) He was related to the tyrant of Syracuse on the island of Sicily, Dionysius I, in that his father, Hipparinus, was Dionysius’ father-in-law and his wife was Dionysius’ daughter, Arete.
When Dionysius II assumed control of Syracuse after the death of his father, Dion became an unpopular figure because of his wealth and political views; Dion was a firm believer in the philosophy of Plato and Dionysius II found these ideas contrary to his form of monarchy.
The island of Sicily had always had a strong Greek presence even though the Carthaginians also had several colonies on the island; when Dionysius II found that Dion had been in private communication with the Carthaginians, he banished Dion from the city; Dion fled to the city of Athens where he studied with Plato at the Academy; Plato, who had visited Syracuse as the guest of Dionysius I, tried, and failed, to reconcile the differences between Dion and Dionysius II, with the result being that Dion was dispossessed of his wife and fortune.
In 357 BCE Dion returned to Sicily and, for a short time, was de facto ruler of Syracuse; after a dispute with the more politically radical Heraklides (Heraclides), Dion left Syracuse but was recalled in 355 BCE to expel the last of the militant followers of Dionysius II.
Dion’s illusion of popular support compelled him to act imperiously and violently; he had the irritating political dissident Heraklides killed and this soon led to his own assassination in 353 BCE; his assertive fascination with idealistic political thought only succeeded in plunging Syracuse into twenty years of chaos.

See Dionysia by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
(circa 396-? BCE) The eldest son of Dionysius the Elder and Doris.
Dionysius II became the tyrant of Syracuse on the island of Sicily after the death of his father and ruled for a brief ten years, i.e. from 367-357 BCE; he inherited an empire from his father but he could not maintain the level of control that had been the trademark of his hyper-ambitious father.
He is portrayed as a sensitive man with an extensive education; he was taught and encouraged by his uncle/brother-in-law, Dion, and the well respected philosopher, Plato; his court was soon divided into factions which led to the banishment of Dion.
In 357 BCE, while Dionysius II was away from the city, Dion returned and took control of Syracuse; Dionysus was confined to the fortress on the island of Ortygia for a short period and then retreated to Italy until he could attempt to recapture Syracuse.
In 346 BCE, Dionysus again took command of Syracuse but, with the murder of his family, he was soon obliged to take refuge in the citadel on Ortygia until, in 337 BCE, he was finally ousted by the Greek commander, Timoleon; Dionysus assumed residence in the city of Korinth (Corinth) and presumably lived there until his death.

See Dionysius of Halikarnassus by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
(430-367 BCE) Also known as Dionysius I; the tyrant of the city of Syracuse on the island of Sicily from 405-367 BCE.
Dionysius was the son of a prosperous merchant named Hermokritos (Hermocritus), he gained a favorable reputation as an able administrator and stalwart soldier; he attained the rank of general and, circa 405 BCE, manipulated his way into a position of complete control of the government; he established a citadel on the island of Ortygia and ruled Syracuse from this fortified stronghold.
Because of its strategic location, the island of Sicily was a turbulent place during the time of Dionysus; although settled by the Greeks circa 734 BCE, the island was soon loosely divided between the Carthaginians on the western side of the island and the Greek colony cities on the east; Dionysus conducted war against the Carthaginians from circa 402-399 BCE in order to gain more territory but did not succeed in driving the Carthaginians from Sicily; he expanded his dominion slightly but the division of Sicily remained essentially the same with the Carthaginians on the west and the Greeks, i.e. Dionysus, on the east.
Dionysus then tried to extend his grasp into southern Italy and laid siege to the city of Rhegium in 390 BCE; this was followed a series of expansionist expeditions which had little cumulative effect but seemed to always involve conflict directly or indirectly with the Carthaginians; his allies on the Greek mainland varied but he was respected by both Athens and Sparta; his resourcefulness and ambition were undisguised and this made him, although ruthless, an honorable man.
He is most famous for his pointed demonstration to the flatterer, Damokles (Damocles); when Damokles was prattling about the tyrant’s good fortune, Dionysius placed Damokles under a sword that was suspended by a single hair to dramatically demonstrate the precarious nature of happiness; thus the phrase, The Sword of Damokles, implies that happiness is very tenuous and should be savored whenever it is experienced.
After his death, Dionysius was succeeded by his son who assumed the name Dionysius II.
See Dionysius the Elder by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
The god of wine; also called Bakkhus (Bacchus); the son of Zeus and Semele.
Dionysus was born prematurely and sewn into the thigh of Zeus and then “born” on the mountain of Nysa which is (according to the Homeric Hymn) in Phoenicia, near the streams of Aegyptus.
Dionysus gave grapes to mortals and is always in the company of nymphs; his gift of wine to mortals was immediately abused and resulted in the death of Ikarius (Icarius) and his daughter, Erigone; when Dionysus was traveling in Attika (Attica), he was entertained by the kindly Ikarius; as a reward, Dionysus gave Ikarius the gift of wine which was unknown to mortal men; when Ikarius’ neighbors drank the wine they became drunk and murdered Ikarius; Erigone, with the help of her dog, Maera, found her father’s body and in utter sadness, committed suicide by hanging herself from a tree.

Of or pertaining to the ancient Greek region of Doris or to the Dorians.
See Dorian by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
The Dorians entered Greece from the north in the twelfth century BCE and became one of the four main divisions of the prehistoric Greeks, i.e. Dorian, Akhaian (Achaean), Aeolian and Ionian.
The Dorian arrival into Greece has been called the Dorian Conquest, the Dorian Invasion and the Dorian Migration, all of these terms are in some way accurate; the Dorians entered the Balkan Peninsula from the north and either displaced or dominated the ethnic populations they encountered; the process was relatively slow and, for that reason, called a Migration but their effect was not subtle; the terms Conquest and Invasion may be a bit too dramatic but, in all regions where the Dorians settled, they usurped the political power and became the masters of the countryside.
On the Peloponnesian Peninsula the Dorians virtually destroyed the Mykenaean (Mycenaean) Culture that preceded them and reduced the indigenous peoples to serfdom; on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, the strongest and most famous Dorian enclave was the city of Sparta; the Athenians were primarily Ionian and were spared Dorian domination because of the simple fact that the area around the city of Athens, i.e. Arkadia (Arcadia), was not as fertile as other parts of Greece.

A late seventh century BCE Athenian statesman who is perhaps unjustly noted for the severity of his code of laws.
In 621 BCE, Drako was given special authority and a mandate to revise the laws of the city of Athens; the laws he instituted were revisions and improvements of the existing laws and were considered necessary in order to purge the antiquated legal system of Athens from its history of vigilante justice and punishment without the benefit of a public trial.
Later legislators, such as Solon, deemed Drako’s system of justice too harsh and repealed all but a few of his laws; in modern times, the term Draconian is used to describe laws which seem unjust or cruel.
