		PEISANDER, of Camirus in Rhodes, Greek epic poet, sup-posed to have flourished about 64o B.C. He was the author of a Heracleia, in which he introduced a new conception of the hero, the lion's skin and club taking the place of the older Homeric equipment.
		From an epigram (20) of Theocritus we learn that a statue was erected in honour of Peisander by his countrymen.
		He is to be distinguished from Peisander of Laranda in Lycia, who lived during the reign of Alexander Severus (A.D. 222-235), and wrote a poem on the mixed marriages of gods and mortals, after the manner of the Eoiai of Hesiod.

	The Desecration of the Herms in 415: An Indictment
		At this time Peisander and Kharikles, who were members of the board of inquiry and regarded as the most fervent of democrats, began to put it about that the herm choppers were not a small group of criminals, but a cabal seeking to overthrow the democracy.
		This prompted Peisander to move that the decree forbidding the examination of citizens under torture be suspended and that everyone named be tortured immediately so that the names of those involved could be discovered as soon as possible.
		Peisander was at this time considered an ardent democrat, but in a few short years he would be exposed as an oligarch of the worst stripe, who engineered the coup of the Four Hundred.

		Before he left Athens, Peisander organised a conspiracy among the several political clubs (erotica) for the overthrow of the democracy, and then proceeded on his mission.
		On his arrival at Athens with a body of heavy-armed troops, drawn from some of the states which he had revolutionised, he found that the clubs had almost effected his object already, principally by means of assassination and the general terror thus produced.
		This is an instance of the characteristic nepotism of Agesilaus ; for Peisander, though brave and eager for distinction, was deficient in the experience requisite for the command in question.

	Peisander (general) Information
		Peisander was a Spartan general during the Corinthian War.
		In 395 BC, he was placed in command of the Spartan fleet in the Aegean by his half-brother, the king Agesilaus II.

		In all the measures of this new government, of which he was a member, he took an active part; and when Theramenes, Aristocrates, and others withdrew from it, he sided with the more violent aristocrats, and was one of those who, on the counter-revolution, took refuge with Agis at Deceleia.

		In this context, a number of Athenian aristocrats, led by Peisander and with Theramenes prominent among their ranks, began to conspire to overthrow the city's democratic government.
		They eventually dispatched Peisander to Athens, where, by promising that the return of Alcibiades and an alliance with Persian would follow if the Athenians would replace their democracy with an oligarchy, he persuaded the Athenian ecclesia to send him as an emissary to Alcibiades, authorized to make whatever arrangements were necessary.
		The extremist faction, led by Phrynicus, containing such prominent leaders of the coup as Peisander and Antiphon, and dominant within the 400, opposed broadening the base of the oligarchy, and were willing to seek peace with Sparta on almost any terms.

	Epic poetry - LoveToKnow 1911
		Unfortunately, the earliest critic who describes this process is Proclus, a Byzantine neo-Platonist, who did not write until some Soo years later, when the whole tradition had become hopelessly corrupted.
		When we pass from Homer and Hesiod, about whose actual existence critics will be eternally divided, we reach in the 7th century a poet, Peisander of Rhodes, who wrote an epic poem, the Heracleia, of which fragments remain.
		From the dawn of Latin literature epic poetry seems to have been cultivated in Italy.

		So a decree was passed that Peisander himself and ten others should go out and negotiate to the best of their judgment with Tissaphernes and Alcibiades.
		Peisander also denounced Phrynichus, and therefore the people dismissed him and his colleague Scironides from their commands, and appointed Diomedon and Leon to be admirals in their room.
		Peisander thought that Phrynichus would stand in the way of the negotiations with Alcibiades, and for this reason he calumniated him, alleging that he had betrayed Iasus and Amorges.

		The said vessel “SS Peisander” arrived at Penang on 13 June 1974 and the goods were delivered to the plaintiff on 28 June 1974 against the said bill of lading No 41 duly indorsed by the plaintiff on 27 June 1974.

		The evidence of DW1 that the goods in question were never in fact shipped on board the “SS Priam” was not challenged in cross-examination and the plaintiff had in fact, through their solicitors, indicated that they were aware that the goods were never on board the vessel “SS Priam”.

		Major naval operations seem to have been resumed only in August 394, when the newly appointed Spartan admiral Peisander, commanding eighty-five ships, suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Conon and Pharnabazus off Cnidus (Diodorus, 14.83.5-7; Xenophon, Hellenica 4.3.10-12).
		Peisander was killed, and the Athenians captured fifty triremes and 500 crewmen.
		Spartan naval supremacy in the Aegean Sea had thus been shattered at one blow, and many subject cities were encouraged to proclaim their autonomy (Xenophon, Hellenica 4.8.1-3; Diodorus, 14.84.3-4).

	The Suitors - Arts Reviews - Arts - Entertainment - smh.com.au
		The three suitors of this new Australian comedy, loosely inspired by a subversive take on The Odyssey, are the adult version of naughty boys at the back of a senior high school class: mischief-makers, juvenile, sex-obsessed and capable of lowering the tone of any situation.
		Antinous (Patrick Brammall), Peisander (John Leary) and Eurymachus (Simon Aylott) loiter in the home of the 20-years-absent Odysseus, competing for the attention of his regal wife, Penelope (Zoe Carides).
		Leary excels when Peisander expends too much energy to achieve the obvious, and his recounting of The Odyssey from the suitors' perspective is a highlight.

	THUCYDIDES BOOK VIII, JOWETT TRANSLATION
		Peisander and his fellow envoys, on their return to Samos after their visit to Tissaphernes, had strengthened their interest in the army, and had even persuaded the chief men of Samos to join them in setting up an oligarchy, although they had lately risen against their own countrymen
		(65) Peisander and his colleagues pursued their voyage and, as they had agreed, put down the democracies in the different states.
		Some were concerned whom no one would ever have thought likely to turn oligarchs; their adhesion created the worst mistrust among the multitude, and by making it impossible for them to rely upon one another, greatly contributed to the security of the few.

		They have no lineage to stand on, but during their 6 year siege with the 105 other suitors they have formed an uneasy alliance, an unlikely friendship, neither of which will stand in the way of their ultimate goal - marrying Penelope.
		If it was highschool, Antinous would be the overbearing jock, Peisander would be the brains of the outfit and Eurymachus the rank outsider, whose sensitive nature and naiveté make him the but of every joke.

	Corinthian War - Information at Halfvalue.com
		By levying ships from the Aegean states under his control, Agesilaus had raised a force of 120 triremes, which he placed under the command of his brother-in-law Peisander, who had never held a command of this nature before.
		The Spartans fought determinedly, particularly in the vicinity of Peisander's ship, but were eventually overwhelmed; large numbers of ships were sunk or captured, and the Spartan fleet was essentially wiped from the sea.
		Following this victory, Conon and Pharnabazus sailed along the coast of Ionia, expelling Spartan governors and garrisons from the cities, although they failed to reduce the Spartan bases at Abydos and Sestos.

		In 6.60 he seems to be referring to Andocides but refuses to commit himself to the truthfulness of Andocides' version.
		Jan van Puffelen said in the same message: Eventually Peisander was accused of the same crime in September 411 (Thucydides 8.49, 98.1).
		I'm not sure what "the same crime" means, divulging the mysteries or another of the misdeeds at issue in 415, but there is nothing in Thucydides 8.49 or 8.98.1 to suggest that Peisander's flight had to do with accusations about the mysteries.

	Phrynichus, Pericles and Praise
		When Peisander accused Phrynichus of abandoning Amorges and Iasus, Thucydides does not consider the charge valid, "Peisander alleged that Phrynichus had betrayed Iasus and Amorges and slandered him." (8.54.3) As Thucydides knew from personal experience, a charge of "betrayal" in Athens often meant that one did not accomplish all that the Athenians believed possible.
		All Peisander need "allege" is that Phrynichus refused to fight.
		From 8.54.3 we learn that the Athenians relieved him of his command on the request of Peisander, although he later becomes a leading figure in the oligarchy.

	COMEDY
		It is only for the later career of Perikles in the 440s that much scurrilous abuse is attested, with similar abuse in the period after Perikles, against the politicians Kleon, Hyperbolos, Peisander, Alkibiades, Kleophon and others.
		Comedy developed for these politicians characteristics which were comic trademarks: the lustful Olympian Perikles, the venal, non-Athenian Kleon, the non-Athenian Hyperbolos and Kleophon, the fat Peisander, the lusful bisexual Alkibiades.
		Some of these characteristics are known to be invented (the foreign birth of Kleon, Hyperbolos and Kleophon); others may or may not be true (lustful Perikles and Alkibiades); others may well be true (Peisander's obesity).
