ANTIOPE

Volume 3 · 103 words · 1842 Edition

in fabulous history, the wife of Licus, king of Thebes, who being deflowered by Jupiter in the form of a satyr, brought forth Amphion and Zethus. Another Antiope was queen of the Amazons, and, with the assistance of the Scythians, invaded the Athenians, and was vanquished by Theseus.

ANTIPÆDOBAPTISTS, (derived from ant, against, παιδικός, child, and βαπτίζω, I baptize, whence βαπτιστικός), is a distinguishing denomination given to those who object to the baptism of infants; because they say infants are incapable of being instructed, and of making that profession of faith which entitles them to this ordinance, and an admission into church communion.
