Headword:
*)aristai=os
Adler number: alpha,3898
Translated headword: Aristaios, Aristaeus
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [The name of] one of the Giants, [the one] who survived.[1]
But [sc. a different name is] Aristeus, [genitive] Aristeos.[2]
And Aristion likewise.[3] He is a Samian or Plataian, and, since a lad, a companion of
Demosthenes; he was sent by him to
Hephaistion for negotiations.
Hyperides mentions him in the [speech]
Against Demosthenes.[4]
Aristaios, the story goes, was the only Giant to survive on the Sicilian mountain called Etna; the fire of heaven did not reach him, nor did Etna crush him.[5]

Aelian fr. 215b Domingo-Forasté (214 Hercher). On the mythological Giants and their battle with the Gods, see further at the end of the entry, (and OCD(4) pp.616).
[2] e.g. that of two Corinthian generals in
Thucydides (1.29 [web address 1]; 1.60-65, 2.67).
[3] From this point, down to "...negotiations" the source becomes Harpokration, who cites Diyllos (FGrH 73F2) and Marsyas (FGrH 135F2) as sources.

Kyme;[1] son of Demophilos, though some [say] of Antiochos; pupil of
Isocrates the orator; historian. He had a son, Demophilos the historian. He was [born] during the 93rd Olympiad,[2] thus also before the reign of Philip of Macedon. He wrote [a

Ilion and the Trojan affairs down to his own time, 30 books;
On [things] good and evil, 24 books;

Notes:
This information pertains to Ephoros of
Kyme, FGrH 70 T1 (see
epsilon 3953, cf. 3952). There was, admittedly, a C4 BC historian called Ephippos, son of Khalkideus, of
Olynthus (FGrH 126); he is mentioned in Alexander's entourage in Egypt (Arrian,
Anabasis 3.5.3), and he was author of a work on the deaths of
Hephaistion and Alexander the Great; see in brief OCD(4) p.509, '
Ephippus(2)'. Nevertheless "Ephippos" as the headword of the present entry is simply taken over in error from the preceding one (
epsilon 3929, on Ephippos the comic poet).

Inventions was significant enough to be mentioned (together with the big
History) by
Strabo 13.3.6.

Vetting Status: high
Translation: A Macedonian comrade of Alexander.[1] A story has it[2] that Alexander went to the tent of the womenfolk of Darius the Persian and went inside with Hephaestion alone of his comrades; and Darius' mother did not know which of the two was the king -- for they were both equipped in the same fine gear -— and she approached Hephaestion and bowed down before him, because he seemed to be the taller of the two. When Hephaestion stepped back, and one of those with her pointed to Alexander and said that he was Alexander, she was ashamed of her mistake and backed away, but Alexander said that she had not been mistaken: for he [sc. Hephaestion] was Alexander.[3] And I have recorded these things neither as true nor as entirely unbelievable; but if it happened this way, I praise Alexander[4] because he might have done and said these things -- on this ground I praise Alexander. Thus says Arrian. [I praise Alexander] because of his pity toward the women and his trust and honor toward his friend. If to those who have written on Alexander he seems plausible...[5]

Notes:
[1] The closest friend of Alexander the Great (for whom see chiefly
alpha 1121, and the Hephaestion page at
Livius: web address 1). On Hephaestion (already mentioned under
alpha 3898) see generally Brian Bosworth in OCD(4) s.v. 'Hephaestion(1)'. The present entry, after this opening gloss, is drawn from Arrian,
Anabasis 2.12.6-8, with some alterations and expansions.
[2] Arrian cites
Ptolemy I and
Aristobulus for the previous section of his narrative (
Anabasis 2.12.6) but does not mention a specific source for this story.
[3] Perhaps there is a play on the etymology of the name. Alexander would then be implying that Hephaestion is "a defender of mankind."
[4] The following words, "
o(/ti" through the end of the passage, have been altered and rearranged from their order in Arrian,
Anabasis 2.12.8.
[5] The final part of the entry is garbled because of the rearrangement of Arrian, who continues this as follows (with material which the present entry has already used): "as having done and said these things, on this basis too I praise Alexander".

Note:
Same entry in the
Synagoge and in
Photius' Lexicon (omicron258), where Theodoridis cites the headword phrase as being quoted from Apollonius Rhodius,
Argonautica 4.1166 (web address 1). That is probably true, though it also occurs in e.g. Galen and
Hephaistion (as well as in lexicography).
