Topic: Learchus


  
  Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, page 727 (v. 2)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
But this is inconsistent with the account which made Learchus the pupil of Dipoenus and Scyllis, for these artists are said to have been the inventors of sculpture in marble, an art which is generally admitted to have had a later origin than that of casting in bronze.
Moreover, Rhoecus and Theodorus, the inventors of casting in bronze, are placed about the beginning of the Olympiads.
Clearchi of Rhegium, one near the beginning, and the other at the end of the Daedalian period, or else we must account for the statement of Pausanias by supposing that, as often happens, a vague tradi­tion affixed the name of a well-known ancient artist to a work whose true origin was lost in re­mote antiquity.

 Ino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Later, Ino raised Dionysus, her nephew, son of her sister Semele, causing Hera's intense jealousy.
Athamas went mad, and slew one of his sons, Learchus, thinking he was a ram; Ino, to escape the pursuit of her frenzied husband, threw herself into the sea with her son Melicertes.
Both were afterwards worshipped as marine divinities, Ino as Leucothea ("the white goddess"), Melicertes as Palaemon.

 The Black Library - Warriors of Ultramar and how the story proceeds
I just find it interesting that one of the most flawed Ultramarines actually leads a full company of Marines that are closer to their Primarch's ideal that he is. I would have thought that such notions would be quelled before he reaches any noteable rank.
Also, there would be severe outrage from codex die-hards such as Learchus, and this splitting of the chapter could only be a bad thing in the troubled times of M41.
It is my belief that the Ultramarines are on a slow process to overcoming their strict adherance to the codex, and for this the Tyranids deserve all the credit.

With Ino, Athamas had two sons, Learchus and Melicertes, yet Ino was jealous of the children he had had with Nephele and decided to get rid of them.

"Tonight," she instructed the children's nurse, "I wish you to cover my sons with white robes and dress Learchus and Melicertes in fl." She had forgotten that the nurse had been with the royal family for many years and was loyal to Ino, whom she immediately told of this suspicious request.

Learchus, as he may have been permanently promoted after his temporary command.

And she herself is called Leucothea, and the boy is called Palaemon, such being the names they get from sailors; for they succour storm-tossed mariners.

 History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides
But there chanced to be with Sitalces some Athenian ambassadors- Learchus, son of Callimachus, and Ameiniades, son of Philemon- who persuaded Sitalces' son, Sadocus, the new Athenian citizen, to put the men into their hands and thus prevent their crossing over to the King and doing their part to injure the country of his choice.
He accordingly had them seized, as they were travelling through Thrace to the vessel in which they were to cross the Hellespont, by a party whom he had sent on with Learchus and Ameiniades, and gave orders for their delivery to the Athenian ambassadors, by whom they were brought to Athens.
Indeed, at the outset of the war, the Lacedaemonians butchered as enemies all whom they took on the sea, whether allies of Athens or neutrals.
