Topic: Aristodemus


  
 Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, page 304 (v. 1)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Aristodemus, enraged at this assertion, murdered his daughter and opened her body to refute the calumny.
The seer Epebolus, who was present, now demanded the sacrifice of another maiden, as the daughter of Aristodemus had not been sacrificed to the gods, but murdered by her father.
But king Euphaes persuaded the Messenians, who, in their indigna­tion, wanted to kill the lover, who had been the cause of the death of Aristodemus' daughter, that the command of the oracle was fulfilled, and as he was supported by the Aepytids, the people accept­ed his counsel.

 20th WCP: Responding to Socrates’ Pedagogical Provocation
Aristodemus exhibits his submissiveness when he exclaims to Socrates that he would not come to the party except "by your having invited me" (174d1).
Aristodemus remarks that he will believe in such things "whenever they send counselors, just as you say they send, that say what it is necessary to do and not do" (I, IV, 15).
Aristodemus is an idolater; he worships Socrates as divine.

Welcome, Aristodemus, said Agathon, as soon as he appeared-you are just in time to sup with us; if you come on any other matter put it off, and make one of us, as I was looking for you yesterday and meant to have asked you, if I could have found you.
Aristodemus did not recollect all that was said, nor do I recollect all that he related to me; but I will tell you what I thought most worthy of remembrance, and what the chief speakers said.

 Aristophanes and His Comedies
At the end of the banquet, Aristodemus, who was one of the guests, fell asleep, "and, as the nights were long, took a good rest.
When he was awakened, toward daybreak, by the crowing of cocks, the others were also asleep or had gone away, and there remained awake only Aristophanes, Agathon and Socrates, who were drinking out of a large goblet that was passed around, while Socrates was discoursing to them.
Aristodemus did not hear all the discourse, for he was only half awake; but he remembered Socrates insisting to the other two that the genius of comedy was the same as that of tragedy, and that the writer of the one should also be a writer of the other.

Af­ter his departure, Aristodemus and Alexander at first endeavoured in common to persuade the towns to expel the garrisons of Cassander, and recover their independence.
But Alexander soon allowed himself to be made a traitor to the cause he had hitherto espoused, and was rewarded by Cassander with the chief command of his forces in the Pelo­ponnesus.
There are many passages in ancient authors in which Aristodemus occurs as the name of a writer, but as no distinguishing epithet is added to the name in those passages, it is impossible to say whether in any case the Aristodemus is identical with any of those mentioned above, or distinct from them.

 Encyclopedia: Aristodemus (Spartan)
Along with a comrade, Eurytus, Aristodemus was stricken with an eye infection.
Because, however, Eurytus had turned back and died, Aristodemus was regarded as a coward and subjected to humiliation and disgrace at the hands of his compatriots.
At the Battle of Plataea, Aristodemus fought with such fury that the Spartans regarded him as having redeemed himself.

 “Nothing to do with Aristodemus”
This paper proposes to identify a first material link between Aristodemus and Aricia: early Cumaean coinage depicts the same late Archaic bronze head of Diana as that found at Lake Nemi and on the late Republican coinage.
Coins that bear an "enigmatic female head," variously identified as an eponymous nymph or the Sibyl of Cumae, will be the focus of my argument, especially six coins in the series Rutter identifies as belonging to Period 2, the second earliest issue.
The chronological scheme for Cumaean coinage must again be revised if Aristodemus did in fact mint coinage from the proceeds of the rich spoils Aristodemus took at Aricia and from confiscation of the property of the Cumaean aristocracy he killed in order to facilitate payments to his followers.

ARISTODEMUS: Oh, of living beings, by far, provided only they are created by design and not mere chance.
ARISTODEMUS: Presumably the creature that serves some useful end is the work of design.
In the first place, man is the only living creature that they have caused to stand upright; and the upright position gives him a wider range of vision in front and a better view of things above, and exposes him less to injury.

 Symposium
In anticipation, we can say that the speech of Socrates is itself a recollection of a discussion he had had with the priestess Diotima in which the theme of Eros had served to provoke a "recollection" of the human condition or, in terms of the Phaedrus, a "recollection" of the divine banquet.
Aristodemus had met Socrates while the latter was on his way to a banquet at Agathon’s.
As Aristodemus recalls the situation, Pausanias opened the conversation by pointing out the sorry condition that most were in due to the over-indulgence of wine the night before (176a).

Since it was part of Plato's artful use of communication to include Aristodemus and Apollodorus in the telling of the story, we must explore his motives for doing so.
On the other hand, Aristodemus tells Apollodorus that he forgot portions of some speeches, other speeches in their entirety, was drinking throughout and fell asleep after the banquet, that is, during the closing scene with Socrates, Aristophanes and Agathon.
Memory is employed in that Apollodorus and Aristodemus try to remember the events surrounding the banquet.

When Agathon had done speaking, Aristodemus said that there was a general cheer; the young man was thought to have spoken in a manner worthy of himself, and of the god.
Aristodemus said that Phaedrus and the company bid him speak in any manner which he thought best.
Aristodemus was only half awake, and he did not hear the beginning of the discourse; the chief thing which he remembered was Socrates compelling the other two to acknowledge that the genius of comedy was the same with that of tragedy, and that the true artist in tragedy was an artist in comedy also.

Then, said Eryximachus, the weak heads like myself, Aristodemus, Phaedrus, and others who never can drink, are fortunate in finding that the stronger ones are not in a drinking mood.

 Greek Tyrants and Roman Anxieties in Dionysius of Halicarnassus
It begins by considering two questions that previous scholarship has failed to take seriously: the role of the Cumaean digression within the broader context of the early Roman history that Dionysius is relating, and the ways in which he (or his source) may have adapted the Aristodemus anecdote to suit that purpose.
If this analysis holds, then Dionysius's account of the life of Aristodemus Malacus should not be regarded as a straightforward retelling of local (i.e., non-Roman) tradition, mediated by a Third-century Greek historian, as argued by Alföldi, et al.
As with the rest of his presentation of the first conflict of the orders, the author's portrait of Aristodemus overlays his own Greek aristocratic viewpoint onto distinctively Roman political concerns already inherent to the tradition.
