Abaeus ( Ἀβαῖος ), a surname of Apollo
 derived from the town of Abae in Phocis, where the god had a rich temple. (Hesych. s. v. 
 Ἄβαι ; Hdt. 8.33 ; Paus. 10.35.1 , &c.) [ L.S ] Abammon Magister [ PORPHYRIUS. ] Abanti'ades ( Ἀβαντιάδης ) signifies in general a descendant of Abas,
 but is used especially to designate Perseus, the great-grandson of Abas ( Ov. Met. 4.673 , 5.138 , 236 ), and Acrisius, a son of Abas. ( Ov.
 Met. 4.607 .) A female descendant of Abas, as Danae and Atalante, was called Abantias. [ L.S ] Aba'ntias [ ABANTIADES. ] Aba'ntidas ( Ἀβαντίδας ), the son of Paseas,
 became tyrant of Sicyon after murdering Cleinias, the father of Aratus, B.
 C. 264 . Aratus, who was then only seven years old, narrowly escaped death. Abantidas
 was fond of literature, and was accustomed to attend the philosophical discussions of Deinias
 and Aristotle, the dialectician, in the agora of Sicyon: on one of these occasions he was
 murdered by his enemies. He was succeeded in the tyranny by his father, who was put to death
 by Nicocles. ( Plut. Arat. 2. 3 ; Paus.
 2.8.2 .)
