ΑΜΥΚΛΑΙ (Αρχαίο ιερό) ΣΠΑΡΤΗ
Son of King Amyclas, of Amyclae in Laconia, and of Diomedes.
He was beloved for his beauty by Apollo and Zephyrus. As Apollo was one day teaching
the boy how to play at quoits, on the banks of the river Eurotas, the wind-god
in his jealousy drove the quoit with such violence against the head of Hyacinthus
that the blow killed him. From his blood Apollo caused a flower of the same name
to spring up, with the exclamation of woe, AI, AI, marked upon its petals. (See
Aiax.) Hyacinthus, like Adonis, is a personification of vegetation, which flourishes
in the spring-time, but is scorched and killed by the glowing heat of the summer
sun, which is symbolized by the quoit or discus.

Hyacinthus (Hyacinthos). The youngest son of the Spartan king Amyclas and Diomede (Apollod. iii. 10.3; Paus. iii. 1.3, 19.4), but according to others a son of Pierus and Clio, or of Oebalus or Eurotas (Lucian, Dial. Deor. 14; Hygin. Fab. 271). He was a youth of extraordinary beauty, and beloved by Thamyris and Apollo, who unintentionally killed him during a game of discus (Apollod. i. 3.3). Some traditions relate that he was beloved also by Boreas or Zephrus, who, from jealousy of Apollo, drove the discus of the god against the head of the youth, and thus killed him (Lucian, l. c; Serv. ad Virg. Eelog. iii. 63; Philostr. Imag. i.24; Ov. Met. x. 184). From the blood of Hyacinthus there sprang the flower of the same name (hyacinth), on the leaves of which there appeared the exclamation of woe AI, AI, or the letter U, being the initial of Huakinthos. According to other traditions, the hyacinth (on the leaves of which, howeve those characters do not appear) sprang from the blood of Ajax (Schol. ad Theocrit. x. 28; comp. Ov. Met. xiii. 395, who combines both legends; Plin. H. N. xxi. 28). Hyacinthus was worshipped at Amyclae as a hero, and a great festival, Hyacinthia, was celebrated in his honour. (Dict. of Ant. s. r.)

Γιος του Αμύκλα και της Διομήδης (Παυσ. 3,1,3). Τον σκότωσε κατά λάθος ο Απόλλωνας.
Αιγληίς και Ανθηίς, κόρες του Υακίνθου.
ΣΠΑΡΤΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΛΑΚΩΝΙΑ
Ο Αστερισμός των Διδύμων σχηματίστηκε στον ουρανό από το Δία, για να ανταμείψει τα δύο αδέρφια, τον Κάστορα και τον Πολυδεύκη, για τη μεταξύ τους αγάπη. Την αγάπη αυτή απέδειξαν και με άλλους τρόπους αλλά και όταν ο Πολυδεύκης θέλησε να μοιραστεί την αθανασία του με το σκοτωμένο αδερφό του Κάστορα.
Γιος του Αμύκλα (Παυσ. 3,1,3).
Οι αρχαίοι συγγραφείς διαφωνούν για τον Ηρακλείδη: άλλοι λένε ότι δεν έφτασε ποτέ στη Λακωνία και βασίλεψαν οι γιοι του, άλλοι ότι υπήρξε ο ίδιος βασιλιάς και μετά οι γιοι του. Η σύζυγός του Αργεία ήταν κόρη του Αυτεσίωνα.
Aristodemus (Aristodemos), a son of Aristomachus, and a descendant of Heracles, was married to Argeia, by whom he became the father of Eurysthenes and Procles. According to some traditions Aristodemus was killed at Naupactus by a flash of lightning, just as he was setting out on his expedition into Peloponnesus (Apollod. ii. 8.2, &c.), or by an arrow of Apollo at Delphi because he had consulted Heracles about the return of the Heraclids instead of the Delphic oracle. (Paus. iii. 1. Β§ 5.) According to this tradition, Eurysthenes and Procles were the first Heraclid kings of Lacedaemon; but a Lacedaemonian tradition stated, that Aristodemus himself came to Sparta, was the first king of his race, and died a natural death (Herod, vi. 52; Xenoph. Agesil. 8.7). Another Heraclid of this name, the grandfather of the former, is mentioned by Euripides.

Γιος του Αμύκλα, αδελφός του Αργαλου, τον διαδέχτηκε στη βασιλεία (Παυσ. 3,1,3).
Dion, a king in Laconia and husband of Iphitea, the daughter of Prognaus. Apollo, who had been kindly received by Iphitea, rewarded her by conferring upon her three daughters, Orphe, Lyco, and Carya, tile gift of prophecy, on condition, however. that they shuld not betray the gods nor search after forbidden things. Afterwards Dionysus also came to the house of Dion; he was not only well received, like Apollo, but won the love of Carya, and therefore soon paid Dion a second visit, under the pretext of consecrating a temple, which the king had erected to him. Orphe and Lyco, however, guarded their sister, and when Dionysus had reminded them, in vain, of the command of Apollo, they were seized with raging madness, and having gone to the heights of Taygetus, they were metamorphosed into rocks. Carya, the beloved of Dionysus, was changed into a nut tree, and the Lacedaemonians, on being informed of it by Artemis, dedicated a temple to Artemis Caryatis. (Serv. ad Virg. Ecl. viii. 30)
Ο μεγαλύτερος γιος του Λέλεγα, πρώτος βασιλιάς της Σπάρτης μετά απ' αυτόν (Παυσ. 3,1,1). Η παράδοση λέει πως το όνομά του ετυμολογούνταν από το μύλο, τον οποίο εκείνος είχε επινοήσει και πρώτος είχε αλέσει (Παυσ. 3,20,2).
Γιος του Μύλη, βασίλεψε στη Σπάρτη μετά το θάνατο του πατέρα του. Εκανε κανάλι με το οποίο μετέφερε τα λιμνάζοντα νερά της λακωνικής πεδιάδας στη θάλασσα. Ετσι δημιουργήθηκε ο ποταμός στον οποίο έδωσε το όνομά του. Παντρεύτηκε την Κλήτα, μια από τις Χάριτες (Παυσ. 3,1,1).
Eurotas, a son of Myles and grandson of Lelex. He was the father of Sparte, the wife of Lacedaemon, and is said to have carried the waters, stagnating in the plain of Lacedaemon, into the sea by means of a canal, and to have called the river which arose therefrom after his own name, Eurotas. (Paus. iii. 1.2.) Apollodorus (iii. 10.3) calls him a son of Lelex by the nymph Cleochareia, and in Stephanus of Byzantium (s. v. Taugeton) his mother is called Taygete. (Comp. Schol. ad Pind. Pyth. iv. 15, Ol. vi. 46, ad Lycophl. 886.)
Γιος του Κυνόρτα, έγινε βασιλιάς μετά απ' αυτόν (Παυσ. 3,1,3). Παντρεύτηκε τη Γοργοφόνη, η οποία μετά το θάνατό του έγινε σύζυγος του αδελφού του Περιήρη και ήταν, έτσι, η πρώτη γυναίκα της αρχαιότητας που παντρεύτηκε δύο φορές.
Alcon (Alkon). A son of Hippocoon, and one of the Calydonian hunters, was killed, together with his father and brothers, by Heracles, and had a heroum at Sparta. (Apollod. iii. 10.5; Hygin. Fab. 173; Paus. iii. 14. § 7, 15.3)
Γιος του Οίβαλου και της νύμφης Βατείας, ετεροθαλής αδελφός του Τυνδάρεω, τον οποίο και εκθρόνισε και έδιωξε από τη Σπάρτη (Παυσ. 3,1,4). Ως γιοι του αναφέρονται οι εξής: Δορυκλεύς, Σκαίος, Εναροφόρος, Ευτείχης, Βουκόλος, Λύκαιθος, Τέβρος, Ιππόθοος, Εύρυτος, Ιπποκορυστής, Αλκίνους, Αλκων.
Hippocoon had sons, to wit: Dorycleus, Scaeus, Enarophorus, Eutiches, Bucolus, Lycaethus, Tebrus, Hippothous, Eurytus, Hippocorystes, Alcinus, and Alcon. With the help of these sons Hippocoon expelled Icarius and Tyndareus from Lacedaemon. They fled to Thestius and allied themselves with him in the war which he waged with his neighbors; and Tyndareus married Leda, daughter of Thestius. But afterwards, when Hercules slew Hippocoon and his sons, they returned, and Tyndareus succeeded to the kingdom.
Commentary: According to the Scholiasts on Euripides and Homer, Icarius joined Hippocoon in driving his brother Tyndareus out of Sparta.

Hippocoon (Hippokoon). The son of Oebalus of Sparta and of the nymph Batea. He drove his brothers Tyndareus and Icarins from home. Afterwards, in consequence of his slaying the young Oeonus, a kinsman of Heracles, he himself, with his twenty sons, was slain by Heracles in alliance with King Cepheus of Tegea. Tyndareus was thereby restored to the inheritance of his father's kingdom.
Ο Ορέστης ήταν γαμπρός του βασιλιά της Σπάρτης Μενέλαου από την κόρη του Ερμιόνη (Παυσ. 3,1,5).
Γιος του Ορέστη, κατά τη διάρκεια της βασιλείας του επανήλθαν οι Ηρακλείδες (Παυσ. 3,1,5).
Γιος του Ηρακλείδη Αριστόδημου, συμβασίλεψε με το δίδυμο αδερφό του Προκλή (Παυσ. 3,1,5). Η Λαθρία ήταν κόρη του Θέρσανδρου.
Eurysthenes, (Eurusthenes), and Procles (Prokles), the twin sons of Aristodemus, were born, according to the common account before, but, according to the genuine Spartan story, after their father's return to Peloponnesus and occupation of his allotment of Laconia. He died immediately after the birth of his children and had not even time to decide which of the two should succeed him. The mother professed to be unable to name the elder, and the Lacedaemonians in embarrassment applied to Delphi, and were instructed to make them both kings, but give the greater honour to the elder. The difficulty thus remaining was at last removed at the suggestion of Panites, a Messenian by watching which of the children was first washed and fed by the mother; and the first rank was accordingly given to Eurysthenes and retained by his descendants. (Herod. vi. 51, 52.) The mother's name was Argeia, and her brother Theras was, during their minority, their joint-guardian and regent. (Herod. iv. 147.) They were married to two sisters, twins like themselves, the daughters of Thersander, the Heracleid king of Cleonae, by name Lathria and Anaxandra, whose tombs were to be seen at Sparta in the time of Pausanias (iii. 16. 5). The two brothers are said to have united with the son of Temenus to restore Aepytus, the son of Cresphontes, to Messenia. Otherwise, they were, according to both Pausanias and Herodotus, in continual strife, which perhaps may give a meaning to the strange story related in Polyaenus (i. 10), that Procles and Temenus attacked the Eurystheidae then in occupation of Sparta, and were successful through the good order preserved by the flute, the benefit of which on this occasion was the origin of the well-known Spartan practice. Ephorus in Strabo (viii.) states, that they maintained themselves by taking foreigners into their service, and these Clinton understands by the name Eurystheidae; but Miiller considers it to be one of the transfers made by Ephorus in ancient times of the customs of his own. Cicero (de Div. ii. 43) tells us, that Procles died one year before his brother, and was much the more famous for his achievements. (Compare Clinton, F. H. vol. i.; Muller, Dor. i. 5.13, 14.)

Γιος του Ηρακλείδη Αριστόδημου, συμβασίλεψε με το δίδυμο αδερφό του Ευρυσθένη (Παυσ. 3,1,5). Η Αναξάνδρα ήταν κόρη του Θέρσανδρου.
Anaxandra and her sister Lathria, twin daughters of Thersander, Heraclide king of Cleonae, are said to have been married to the twin-born kings of Sparta, Eurysthenes and Procles; Anaxandra, it would seem, to Procles. An altar sacred to them remained in the time of Pausanias. (iii. 16.5..)
Γιος του Προκλή και πατέρας του Ευρυπώντα (Παυσ. 3,7,1). Ο τελευταίος μυθικός βασιλιάς της Σπάρτης.
Γιος του Ευρυσθένη, πατέρας του Εχέστρατου, βασιλιάς της Σπάρτης, γενάρχης του βασιλικού γένους των Αγιάδων (Παυσ. 3,2,1). 5ος-4ος αιώνας π.Χ.
Agis, king of Sparta, son of Eurysthenes, began to reign, it is said, about B. C. 1032. According to Eusebius (Chron. i.) he reigned only one year; according to Apollodorus, as it appears, about 31 years. During the reign of Eurysthenes, the conquered people were admitted to an equality of political rights with the Dorians. Agis deprived them of these, and reduced them to the condition of subjects to the Spartans. The inhabitants of the town of Helos attempted to shake off the yoke, but they were subdued, and gave rise and name to the class called Helots. To his reign was referred the colony which went to Crete under Pollis and Delphus (Conon. Narr. 36). From him the kings of that line were called Agidai. His colleague was Sous. (Paus. iii. 2.1)

... and descendants of Talthybius called Talthybiadae, who have the special privilege of conducting all embassies from Sparta.
ΑΜΥΚΛΑΙ (Αρχαίο ιερό) ΣΠΑΡΤΗ
Γιος του Λακεδαίμονα, βασιλιάς της Λακωνίας, έχτισε τις Αμύκλες θέλοντας να αφήσει κάτι για το οποίο θα τον θυμόντουσαν οι επόμενες γενιές (Παυσ. 3,1,3).
Amyclas (Amuklas), a son of Lacedaemon and Sparta, and father of Hyacinthus by
Diomede, the daughter of Lapithus (Apollod. iii. 10.3; Paus. x. 9.3, vii. 18.4).
He was king of Laconia, and was regarded as the founder of the town of Amyclae
(Paus. iii. 1.3). Two other mythical personages of this name occur in Parthen.
Erot. 15, and Apollod. iii. 9. Β§ 1.
ΣΠΑΡΤΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΛΑΚΩΝΙΑ
Ο Λακεδαίμων είχε παντρευτεί τη Σπάρτη, κόρη του Ευρώτα, και βασίλεψε μετά απ' αυτόν, αφού ο Ευρώτας δεν είχε αρσενικά παιδιά. Ιδρυσε πόλη με το όνομα της γυναίκας του (Σπάρτη) και μετονόμασε τη χώρα και τους κατοίκους σύμφωνα με το όνομά του (Παυσ. 3,1,2).
ΑΜΥΚΛΑΙ (Αρχαίο ιερό) ΣΠΑΡΤΗ
Deiphobus. A son of Hippolytus at Amyclae, who puri fied Heracles after the murder of Iphitus (Apollod. ii. 6.2; Diod. iv. 31)

Γιος του Ικάριου και της Περίβοιας.
Dorceus, (Dorkeus), a son of Hippocoon, who had a heroum at Sparta conjointly with his brother Sebrus. The well near the sanctuary was called Dorceia, and the place around it Sebrion. (Paus. iii. 15.2) It is probable that Dorceus is the same personage as the Dorycleus in Apollodorus (iii. 10.5), where his brother is called Tebrus.
Enarephorus, (Enarephoros), a son of Hippocoon, was a most passionate suitor of Helen, when she was yet quite young. Tyndareus, therefore, entrusted the maiden to the care of Theseus. (Apollod. iii. 10.5; Plut Thes. 31.) Enarephorus had a heroun at Sparta. (Paus. iii. 15.2)
Hyacinthus. A Lacedaemonian, who is said to have gone to Athens, and in compliance with an oracle, to have caused his daughters to be sacrificed on the tomb on the Cyclops Geraestus, for the purpose of a learned of delivering the city from famine and the plague, under which it was suffering during the war with Minos. His daughters, who were sacrificed either to Athena or Persephone, were known in the Attic legends by the name of the Hyacinthides, which they derived from their father. (Apollod. iii. 15.8; Hygin. Fab. 238; Harpocrat. s. v.) Some traditions make them the daughters of Erechtheus, and relate that they received their name from the village of Hyacinthus, where they were sacrificed at the time when Athens was attacked by the Eleusinians and Thracians, or Thebans. (Snid. s.v. Parthenoi; Demnosth. Epilaph.; Lycurg. c. Leocrat. 24; Cic. p. Sext. 48; Hygin. Fab. 46.) The names and numbers of the Hyacinthides differ in the different writers. The account of Apollo dorus is confused: he mentions four, and repre sents them as married, although they were sacriticed as maidens, whence they are sometimes called simply hai parthenoi. Those traditions in which they are described as the daughters of Erechtheus confouiud them with Agraulos, Herse, and Pandrosos (Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod. i. 211), or with the Hyades. (Serv. ad Aen. i. 748.)

Iops, a hero who had a sanctuary at Sparta. (Paus. iii. 12. Β 4.)
Electra, a servant of Helen, was painted by Polygnotus in the Lesche at Delphi, in the act of kneeling before her mistress and fastening her sandals. (Paus x. 25.2)
ΑΜΥΚΛΑΙ (Αρχαίο ιερό) ΣΠΑΡΤΗ
Amyclaeus (Amuklaios), a surname of Apollo, derived from the town of Amyclae in
Laconia, where he had a celebrated
sanctuary. His colossal statue is estimated by Pausanias (iii. 19.2) at
thirty cubits in height. It appears to have been very ancient, for with the exception
of the head, hands, and feet, the whole resembled more a brazen pillar than a
statue. This figure of the god wore a helmet, and in his hands he held a spear
and a bow. The women of Amyclae made every year a new chiton for the god, and
the place where they made it was also called the Chiton (Paus. iii. 16.2). The
sanctuary of Apollo contained the throne of Amyclae, a work of Bathycles of Magnesia,
which Pausanias saw. (iii. 18.6)
ΘΕΡΑΠΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΣΠΑΡΤΗ
Gaeeochus, (Gaieochos), that is, " the holder of the earth," is a common epithet of Poseidon (Hom. Od. xi. 240), and near Therapne, in Laconia, he had a temple under the name of Gaeeochus. (Paus. iii. 20.2.) But the name is also given to other divinities to describe them as the protectors and patrons of certain districts, e. g. Artemis Gaeeochus at Thebes. (Soph. Oed. Tyr. 160.)
ΣΠΑΡΤΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΛΑΚΩΝΙΑ
Aeginaea (Aiginaia, a surname of Artemis, under which she was worshipped at Sparta (Paus. iii. 14.3). It means either the huntress of chamois, or the wielder of the javelin (aiganea).
Aegophagus (Aigophagos), the goat-eater, a surname of Hera, under which she was worshipped by the Lacedaemonians. (Paus. iii. 15.7; Hesych)
Agamemnon A surname of Zeus, under which he was worshipped at Sparta. (Lycophr. 335, with the School.; Eustath. ad Il. ii. 25.) Eustathius thinks that the god derived this name from the resemblance between him and Agamemnon; while others believe that it is a mere epithet signifying the Eternal, from agan and menon.
Agetor, a surname given to several gods, for instance:
to Zeus at Lacedaemon (Stob. Serm. 42). The name seems to describe Zeus as the
leader and ruler of men; but others think, that it is synonymous with Agamemnon,
to Apollo (Eurip. Med. 426) where however Elmsley and others prefer haletor,
to Hermes, who conducts the souls of men to the lower world. Under this name Hermes
had a statue at Megalopolis (Paus. viii. 34).
Ambologera, from anaballo and geras " delaying old age," as a surname of Aphrodite, who had a statue at Sparta under this name. (Paus. iii. 18.1; Plut. Sympos. iii. 6)
Ambulia, Ambulius, Ambulii (Amboulia, Amboulioi, and Amboulios), surnames under which the Spartans worshipped Athena, the Dioscuri, and Zeus (Paus. iii. 13.4). The meaning of the name is uncertain, but it has been supposed to be derived from dnaballo, and to designate those divinities as the delayers of death.
Areia, the warlike, a surname of Aphrodite, when represented in full armour like Ares, as was the case at Sparta. (Paus. iii. 17.5)
Evanemus, (Euanemos), the giver of favourable wind, was a surname of Zeus, under which the god had a sanctuary at Sparta. (Paus. iii. 13. 5; comp. Theocrit. xxviii. 5.)
Axiopoenos (Axiopoinos), the avenger, a surname of Athena. Under this name Heracles built a temple to the goddess at Sparta, after he had chastised Hippocoon and his sons for the murder of Oeonus. (Paus. iii. 15.4)
Chalcioecus (Chalkioikos), "the goddess of the brazen house", a surname of Athena at Sparta, derived from the brazen temple which the goddess had in that city, and which also contained her statue in brass. This temple, which continued to exist in the time of Pausanias, was believed to have been commenced by Tyndareus, but was not completed till many years later by the Spartan artist Gitiadas. (Paus. iii. 17.3, x. 5.5; C. Nep. Paus. 5; Polyb. iv. 22). Respecting the festival of the Chalcioecia celebrated at Sparta, see Dict. of Ant. s. v. Chalkioikia.
Domatites, that is, the domestic, a surname of Poseidon, at Sparta, which is, perhaps, synonymous with epichorios. (Paus. iii. 14.7.)
Hypercheiria, (Hupercheiria), the goddess who holds her protecting hand over a thing, a surname under which Hera had a sanctuary at Sparta, which had been erected to her at the command of an oracle, when the country was inundated by the river Eurotas. (Paus. iii. 13.6.)
Cnagia (Knagia), a surname of Artemis, derived from Cnageus, a Laconian, who accompanied the Dioseuri in their war against Aphidna, and was made prisoner. He was sold as a slave, and carried to Crete, where he served in the temple of Artemis; but he escaped from thence with a priestess of the goddess, who carried her statue to Sparta. (Paus. iii. 18.3)
Corythallia (Koruthallia), a surname of Artemis at Sparta, at whose festival of the Tithenidia the Spartan boys were carried into her sanctuary. (Athen. iv.)
Κόρη του Ωκεανού, μητέρα της Ελένης από το Δία. Ο Δίας συνάντησε τη Νέμεση μεταμορφωμένος σε κύκνο, και έτσι η Νέμεση γέννησε ένα αβγό και το άφησε. Κάποιος το βρήκε και το έδωσε στη Λήδα, τη γυναίκα του βασιλιά της Σπάρτης Τυνδάρεω, η οποία, μόλις γεννήθηκε η Ελένη, ισχυρίστηκε ότι ήταν δικό της παιδί.
