Argeius

(Ἀργεῖος), was one of the Elean deputies sent to Persia to co-operate with Pelopidas (B. C. 367) in counteracting Spartan negotiation and attaching Artaxerxes to the Theban cause. (Xen. Hell. 7.1.33.) He is again mentioned by Xenophon (Xenoph. Hell. 7.4.15), in his account of the war between the Arcadians and Eleans (B. C. 365), as one of the leaders of the democratic party at Elis. (Comp. Diod. 15.77.) [E.E]
