(Πυλάδης), a son of Strophius and Anaxibia, Cydragora or Astyochea. (Paus. 2.29.4; Schol. ad Eurip. Orest. 33, 753; Hyg. Fab. 117.) He was a friend of Orestes, who was received by him in Phocis in a brotherly manner. (Pind. P. 11.23.) He afterwards married Electra, the sister of Orestes, and became by her the father of Hellanicus, Medon, and Strophius. (Paus. 2.16.5; Orestes, Electra.) [L.S]
the pantomime dancer in the reign of Augustus, is spoken of under Bathyllus. He was banished on one occasion by Augustus, but afterwards restored to the city (D. C. 54.17; Suet. Aug. 45.)
(Πυλάδης), the engraver of a beautiful gem in the Museum of the King of the Netherlands, representing an eagle, carrying a crown in its beak. It is described by Jonghe (Catal. Mus. Batav. p. 167, n. 4), and more minutely by Visconti (Op. Var. vol. ii. p. 162, n. 21), who, without assigning any reason for his opinion, supposes the inscription ΠΥΛΑΔΟΥ to denote the owner rather than the artist. It has been engraved by Venuti (Collectan. Antiq. Roman. tab. lxxiv. Rom. 1736, folio), and in the work of the Count de Thoms. pl. xiii. n. 5. (Compare R. Rochette, Lettre à M. Schorn, p. 150, 2nd ed.) [P.S]
(Πυλάδης). (1) The son of Strophius and Anaxibia, a sister of Agamemnon. His father was king of Phocis; and after the death of Agamemnon, Orestes was secretly carried to his father's court. Here Pylades contracted that friendship with Orestes which became proverbial. He assisted Orestes in murdering his mother Clytaemnestra, and also accompanied him to the Tauric Chersonesus; and he eventually married his sister Electra, by whom he became the father of Hellanicus, Medon, and Strophius. For details, see Orestes.
(2) A pantomime dancer in the reign of Augustus, spoken of in the article Bathyllus.
