  Battus - LoveToKnow 1911
BATTUS, the legendary founder of the Greek colony of Cyrene in Libya (about 630 B.C.).
150-156), Battus, having an impediment in his speech, consulted the oracle at Delphi, and was told to found a colony in Libya; according to the Theraeans, Battus was entrusted with this mission by their aged king Grinus.
In another version, there was civil war in Thera; Battus, leader of one party, was banished, and, on applying to the oracle, was recommended to take out a colony to "the continent" (Schol.

 Cyrene - LoveToKnow 1911
This was in the middle of the 7th century B.C. The result was Cyrene, so called (it was said) from a local nymph, who has been shown by Studniczka to have been a Nature goddess, like the Greek Artemis.
The kings henceforth bore alternately the names Battus and Arcesilaus, of which the first is said to be simply the native Libyan word for " king ": the latter is, of course, Greek.
Under Battus (570 B.C.?) a fresh band of settlers was invited from Greece, and the colony tended to become henceforth more maritime and democratic.

During Battus' reign, Cyrene was a very wealthy town, which exported wheat, barley and olive oil, and monopolized the trade in sylphium, an unidentified plant with aromatic and medicinal properties.
Cyrene was founded in the 7th century BC by Greek settlers led by Battus I, who established a ruling dynasty and made Cyrene the capital of the ancient kingdom of Cyrenaica.
During the lifetime of Battus, the founder of the colony, who reigned forty years, and during that of his son Arcesilaus, who reigned sixteen, the Cyreneans continued at the same level, neither more nor fewer in number than they were at the first.

 Nematodirosis Farming UK
The life cycle of N. battus essentially involves transmission from one season’s lamb crop to the next and the accumulation of infection on pasture takes place over a period of grazing by susceptible lambs (and occasionally dairy calves).
battus worms are sometimes seen in tangled knots with a characteristic ‘cotton wool ball’ appearance, although in acute cases these may have been expelled before death.
While anthelmintic resistance by N. battus is not currently recognised as a problem in the UK, its appearance is inevitable and should be monitored.

In battus, each bursal lobe has one pair of parallel rays (B) while all the other species have two.
However, Nematodirus battus does cause significant disease in lambs in Britain because its unusual hatching requirements may result in heavy contamination of pastures with newly hatched L3s just as lambs are close to weaning and are beginning to graze pastures more in late spring (May and early June in Britain).
battus infections in Britain the special hatching requirements ensure that lambs will be invariably exposed to heavily contaminated pastures in late spring.

Battus is generally regarded as the most primitive genus within the entire tribe Troidini, and is therefore placed as the only member in a separate subtribe Battina.
It phylogenetic terms, the genus Battus is seen to represent the sister-group of all remaining Troidini.
As there are also different views about the composition of the second group, the subdivision of Battus is still contentious and requires further study.

 During the late eighteenth century, Americans radically revised how they conceived of criminals
John Battus: "The Confession of John Battus, a mulatto, aged 19 years and 7 months who was executed at Dedham, November 8, 1804, for the crimes of a most cruel rape and murder on the body of Salome Talbot, of Canton, in the 14th year of her age" (1804)
The second essential fact to know about John Battus is that observers at the time thought there was no apparent motive or "cause" for his actions, and nothing in his background would suggest he had experienced anything that would lead him to commit such a crime.
If, according to Enlightenment thought, human beings would not engage in evil acts unless something in their past experiences corrupted them towards such behavior, and nothing in Battus’ past suggested he had been corrupted in such a fashion, what is the logical conclusion about Battus — from the perspective of the new Enlightenment thought?

Battus is a genus of butterflies that are usually found around pipevine (genus Aristolochia) plants.
The caterpillars feed off the poisonous pipevines, making the insects poisonous themselves; they taste very badly to warn off predators (Pinheiro 1996).
