Battiadae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Battiadae, or Battiads (Greek: Βαττιάδαι), were the ruling dynasty of the Greek city-state of Cyrene, in modern Libya. Battus I, who founded Cyrene in 631 BC, was also the founder of the dynasty. The Battiads were overthrown in 440 BC.

List of members

The kings of Cyrene are shown in bold, all dates BC.

  • Battus I (c. 631–600 BC), founder of Cyrene.
  • Arcesilaus I (c. 600–583 BC), son of Battus I.
  • Battus II "the Blessed" (c. 583–560 BC), son of Arcesilaus I.
  • Arcesilaus II "the Cruel" (c. 560–550 BC), son of Battus II.
  • Perseus, younger brother of Arcesilaus II, he rebelled against him and left Cyrene to found Barke in c.560 with three other brothers.[1]
  • Zacynthius, younger brother of Arcesilaus II, he rebelled against him and left Cyrene to found Barke in c.560 with three other brothers.[1]
  • Aristomedon, younger brother of Arcesilaus II, he rebelled against him and left Cyrene to found Barke in c.560 with three other brothers.[1]
  • Lycus, younger brother of Arcesilaus II, he rebelled against him and left Cyrene to found Barke in c.560 with three other brothers.[1]
  • Learchus, younger brother of Arcesilaus II. Unlike his other brothers, he remained in Cyrene, but murdered Arcesilaus II and ruled as regent. He was murdered by Eryxo, Arcesilaus II's widow. According to Plutarch, he was only a friend of Arcesilaus II.[1]
  • Eryxo, wife of Arcesilaus II, she murdered Learchus.[1]
  • Battus III "the Lame" (c. 550–530 BC). During his reign, most of the royal prerogatives were transferred to citizens by the reformer Demonax of Mantinea.[2]
  • Pheretima, wife of Battus III, mother of Arcesilaus III.
  • Arcesilaus III (c. 530–515 BC), son of Battus III and Pheretima.
  • Battus IV (c. 515–465 BC)
  • Arcesilaus IV (c. 465–440 BC)

A famous descendant of Battus and thus one of the Battiadae was Callimachus,[3] the Greek poet and the best known member of the Neoteroi.
