Английская Википедия:Eucles of Marathon
Eucles of Marathon (Шаблон:Lang-grc) was a leading Athenian statesman early in the reign of Augustus. He was responsible for the construction of the Roman Agora in Athens and was the male-line ancestor of the 2nd-century aristocrat, Herodes Atticus.
Life
Eucles was the son of Herodes of Marathon, who was archon of Athens in 60/59 BC. Herodes was one of a group of Athenians who came to prominence in the period after the Sack of Athens by Sulla in 86 BC and whose descendants formed the core of the Athenian aristocracy in the Roman Imperial period.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Eucles was the priest of Apollo Pythius from 38 BC, in which role he seems to have been a supporter of Mark Antony until the Battle of Actium in 30 BC.Шаблон:Sfn Afterwards, he led a series of five processions, called the dodekaides, to Delphi between 30 and 10 BC. These are recorded in inscriptions on the south wall of the Athenian Treasury at Delphi.Шаблон:Sfn[1]

Eucles' role in the construction of the Roman Agora at Athens is recorded in an inscription on its gate (IG II3 4, 12). It records that Eucles' father, Herodes, had originally secured fifty talents from Julius Caesar for its construction - a letter of Cicero indicates that this occurred in 51/0 BC.[2]Шаблон:Sfn For some reason, construction did not take place, and Eucles made a new mission to Caesar's heir, Augustus, to secure the funds, and then oversaw construction, which was completed some time between 27 and 17 BC or, less likely, in 10/9 BC.Шаблон:Sfn
Descendants
Eucles had two sons Polycharmus (probably named for a maternal relative) and Herodes (named after his paternal grandfather), both of whom were prominent during the reign of Tiberius.Шаблон:Sfn Through Herodes, he was grandfather of Tiberius Claudius Hipparchus, great-grandfather of Claudius Atticus, and great-great grandfather of Herodes Atticus.Шаблон:Sfn He may have had a daughter, called Simarion.Шаблон:Sfn
