Eurylochus
Εὐρύλοχος
(Εὐρύλοχος).
1. A native of Lusiae in Arcadia, whose name is frequently mentioned by Xenophon in the Anabasis. On one occasion, when the army was marching through the territory of the Carduchii, he protected Xenophon, whose shield-bearer had deserted him. He was one of the deputies sent by the army to Anaxibius. Afterwards we find him counselling his comrades to extort from Seuthes the pay which he owed them. (Xen. Anab. 4.2.21, 7.11, 7.1.32. 6.40.)
