man of mean extraction, who, pretending to be the son of Perseus, last king of Macedonia, took upon him the name of Philip, for which reason he was called Pseudo-Philippos, the False Philip. After a complete victory over Juventius, the Roman prator, who was sent against him, he assumed kingly power, but exercised it with great cruelty. At last the Romans obliged him to fly into Thrace, where he was betrayed and delivered into the hands of Metellus, n.c. 148. This victory placed Macedonia once more in the power of the Romans, and gained for Metellus the name of Macedonicus, but cost the Romans 25,000 men. Andriscus adorned the triumph of Metellus, walking in chains before the general's chariot.

Androclus, a Roman slave who used to lead about the streets a lion which had forbidden to injure him when turned loose in the circus. The story is related, on the authority of an eye-witness, by Aulus Gellius (v. 14), who states that Androclus had taken refuge from the severities of his master in a cave in Africa, and that while there, a lion entered the cave and presented to him his swollen paw, from which Androclus extracted a large thorn.

Androgeos, in Fabulous History, the son of Minos, king of Crete, was murdered by the Athenian youth and those of Megara, who envied his being always victor at the Attic games. But Minos having taken Athens and Megara, Androgeos obliged the inhabitants to send him an annual tribute of seven young men and as many virgins, to be devoured by the Minotaur. From this tribute they were delivered by Theseus.
