POLYXÆNUS, the name of many ancient personages, and principally of one who appears to have been a Macedonian, and the writer of eight books of Stratagemata, Stratagems of illustrious commanders in war. The best edition is that of Leyden 1690, 8vo. Numbers of these stratagems appear ridiculous or impracticable; but the book is of use to those who study the Greek language or antiquity. We have citations from other works of the same author.
