	Aristomenes - LoveToKnow 1911
		He was a member of the Aepytid family, the son of Nicomedes (or, according to another version, of Pyrrhus) and Nicoteleia, and took a prominent part in stirring up the revolt against Sparta and securing the co-operation of Argos and Arcadia.
		Aristomenes alone was saved, and soon reappeared at Eira: legend told how he was upheld in his fall by an eagle and escaped by grasping the tail of a fox, which led him to the hole by which it had entered.
		Aristomenes retired to Ialysus in Rhodes, where Damagetus, his son-in-law, was king, and died there while planning a journey to Sardis and Ecbatana to seek aid from the Lydian and Median sovereigns (Pausanias iv.

		Aristomene’s passivity is illustrated by his own feeling of being "transformed from Aristomenes into a tortoise"(8), because he is covered by the overturned bed.

	Aristomenes
		As to Aristomenes himself he had with him eighty picked men of the Messenians of the same age as himself, each one of them thinking it the highest honor that he had been thought worthy of a place in the troop with Aristomenes.
		They themselves with Aristomenes were at first hard pressed in face of Anaxander and the Lacedaemonian champions, but receiving wounds unflinchingly and slowing every form of desperate courage they repulsed Anaxander and his men by their long endurance and valor.
		Aristomenes, in the heat of passion, did not hear all that the seer said, and when he reached the tree, lost his shield, and his disobedience gave to the Lacedaemonians an opportunity for some to escape from the rout.

	BMCR-L: BMCR 2005.07.46, Daniel Ogden, Aristomenes of Messene
		Aristomenes' role in Messenian tradition and his character as a hero of folklore are the objects of O.'s study.
		During the course of the chapter, O. also discusses the evidence for Aristomenes' cult at Messene, the nature of the hekatomphonia, Aristomenes' reputation as a lover, the question of whether he was bisexual, and the significance of the names of his family members.
		Aristomenes' shield is bronze, he hides the secrets of the mysteries in a bronze hydria and he dedicates his shield in the temple of Athena Chalkioikos, 'Bronze House.' These connections and O.'s arguments for them seem forced and his parallels unconvincing.

		Being seized again by some Cretan bowmen, he was rescued by a maiden, who dreamed that wolves had brought into the city a chained lion, bereft of its claws, and that she had given it claws and set it free.
		Aristomenes now, discouraged by the decree of the gods, and finding himself surrounded, through treachery, by his enemies in his mountain strong-hold, decided to give up the hopeless struggle.
		Believing that, Aristomenes had the best claim to this proud title, he asked him for the hand of his daughter in marriage, and offered him a home in his island realm.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Messina
		Messina is said to have been founded by some pirates from Cumæ, a very ancient Greek colony, and to have received from its founders the name of Zancle (sickle) on account of the semicircular shape of the port.
		In 735 a colony of Messenians was taken there by Gorgos, a son of King Aristomenes, the brave but unfortunate defender of the Messenians against the Spartans.
		Thereafter, the population of the city was increased by fugitives from Chalcis, Samos, and Eubœa, who had escaped from the

		DA INFO 435 4 APRIL 2006 Pindar, Pythian Odes, Pythian 8 GENERAL SUMMARY This poem was written for Aristomenes (I believe to be a different person to the mythical King) after a wrestling victory in the Pythian games (held two years before and after the Olympic games).
		Pindar glorifies the achievements of the subject, emphasizes the influence of the gods in the process, highlights Aristomenes' hometown and ancestry, recalls previous victories (I believe in wrestling, although it is ambiguous), and details the even in question.
		For example, "fly on the wings of my artfulness", and "the delight of mortal grows in a short time, and then it falls to the ground, shaken by adverse thought." The poem also relies heavily on comparisons and contrasts, such as between father and son, man and the gods, subject and opponent, etc.

	Hellenistic Messenia
		Invoking the gods, summoning the heroes (including a legendary fighter for Messenian freedom, Aristomenes) transformed the creation of Messene into a highly charged symbolic event, marking a stunning reversal of fortune and returning the Messenian people to the political map of Greece.
		A stress on the city's legendary heros and historical founders (Messene, Aristomenes, Epaminondas) is notably very pronounced, with the Messenians clearly turning to their past as a source of local identity and of pride.
		Excavations at Messene since the 1950's (under the direction of the Greek archaeologists Anastasios Orlandos and Petros Themelis) have revealed many traces of the city Pausanias visited, most notably a large square complex, probably to be identified as the sanctuary of Asklepios.

		He begins with the tales of Aristomenes and Thelyphron, two of the earliest tales in the novel.
		He points out that many parallels exist between Aristomenes, Thelyphron, and Lucius, most notably including their torment by fortuna, who presents them with an apparent salvation only to then alter the situation into a near hopeless one.
		However, there is a notable difference between Aristomenes and Thelyphron and our her Lucius; the first two come to recognize the treachery of magic through their trials, but in hearing their tales Lucius fails to also gain that lesson.
