EGHION (Ancient city) ACHAIA
Hyperbatas or Hyperbatus (Huperbatas, Plut.; Hgperbatos, Polyb.). General
of the Achaean league in B. C. 224, during the war with Cleomenes. It
was under his nominal command, though the real direction of affairs was in the
hands of Aratus, that the Achaeans met with the decisive defeat at Hecatomboeon.
(Plut. Cleom. 14.)
Hyperbatas. General of the Achaeans in B. C. 179. The Romans
having sent to require of the league the recal of all the Lacedaemonian exiles
without distinction, Hyperbatus held an assembly, in which he urged, in opposition
to Lycortas, the necessity of compliance with this request (Polyb. xxvi. 1.) On
this occasion he took the same side with Callicrates, and we find him again, in
B. C. 168, uniting with that unworthy statesman against the proposal of Lycortas
and his party, to send assistance to the two Ptolemies in their war against Antiochus
Epiphanes. (Id. xxix. 8.)
KERYNIA (Ancient city) ACHAIA
Iseas, tyrant of Ceryneia in Achaia, at the period of the first rise of the Achaean league. Alarmed at the rapid progress of the confederacy --the four cities of Dyme, Patrae, Tritaea, and Pharae, which formed the original league, having been already joined by Aegium and Bura--he judged it prudent to provide for his personal safety by voluntarily abdicating the sovereign power, whereupon Ceryneia immediately joined the Achaeans. (Polyb. ii. 41.)
