Philippides of Paiania
Philippides, son of Philomelos, of Paiania was an Athenian oligarch.
He is identified with the Philippides prosecuted by Hypereides in 336/5 B.C. who proposed honours for Macedonians after the Battle of Chaeronea, among them Alexander the Great. He was involved in embassies to King Cassander.[1]
In 294/3 B.C. Stratocles moved a decree in honour of Philippides, who had been active under the late government.[2] In Olympiodoros' second year as eponymous archon, the archon basileus was Philippides of Paiania, a wealthy elder statesman. He took part in the established Athenian coalition government with military leader Olympiodoros and pro-Macedonian democrat Stratocles.[3] Philippides of Paiania was one of the richest Athenians in the age of Lycurgus of Athens. In 293/2 B.C. IG II3 1 857, Philippides was honoured with a gold crown for his excellence in the interests of the People; and as king. [4]
