Heracleides (ambassador) What became of him after this we know not, as his name is not mentioned during the struggle that ensued between Alexander and Demetrius, nor after the elevations of the former to the throne of Syria.
Heracleides (admiral) Unfortunately our knowledge of the subsequent intrigues and dissensions between the two leaders is almost wholly derived from Plutarch; and his manifest partiality to Dion renders his statements concerning his rival liable to much suspicion. Heracleides was at first triumphant; twenty-five generals, of whom he was one, were appointed to take the command, and Dion retired in disgust, accompanied by the mercenary troops in his pay, to Leontini. But the mismanagement of the new generals, and the advantages gained by Hypsius, who had arrived in the citadel with a large reinforcement, soon compelled the Syracusans to have recourse once more to Dion.
Heracleides (rhetor) Heracleides was a disciple of Herodes Atticus. We know him to have been a man of great skill, on whom was bestowed the imperial chair of rhetoric in Athens. There is a great deal of debate over what years precisely he held this position, but with the evidence we currently have it seems likely to assume he held this from 193 to 209. At the same time, we know him to have been somewhat embattled in his position: at one point before the year 203 he lost in a contest of oratory against Apollonius of Athens so profoundly that he displeased the Roman emperor Septimius Severus, and the emperor revoked Heracleides's immunity from civic duty. He also had little support from the local aristocracy, and therefore had no defense from the many enemies he had in the city. These enemies, led by Marcianus, successfully conspired to have Heracleides deposed from his position. Heracleides thereafter left Athens, and began teaching in Smyrna.
Heracleides (admiral) Heracleides had been disabled by a wound; but he not only joined in sending messages to Dion, imploring his assistance, but immediately on his arrival placed himself in his power, and sued for forgiveness. This was readily granted by Dion, who was reinstated in his position of general autocrator, on the proposal of Heracleides himself, and in return bestowed upon the latter once more the sole command by sea. Yet the reconciliation was far from sincere: Heracleides, if we may believe the accounts of his enemies, withdrew, with the fleet under his command, to Messana, and even entered into negotiations with Dionysius: but he was again induced to submit to Dion, who (contrary, it is said, to the advice of all his friends) spared his life, and restored him to favor. But when the departure of Apollocrates had left Dion sole master of Syracuse in 354 BCE, he no longer hesitated to remove his rival, whom he justly regarded as the chief obstacle to his ambitious designs; and under pretense that Heracleides was again intriguing against him, he had him put to death in his own house by a band of armed men.
Heracleides (rhetor) He taught rhetoric at Smyrna with great success, so that the town was greatly benefited by him, on account of the great conflux of students from all parts of Asia Minor. He died at the age of eighty, leaving a country-house in the neighborhood of Smyrna, which he had built with the money he had earned, and which he called "Rhetorica".
