Ameinias the Phocian (Ancient Greek: Ἀμεινίας) (flourished 277/272 BC) was an ancient Greek pirate and mercenary leader in the service of king Antigonus II Gonatas of Macedon. Ameinias was from the region of Phocis in Central Greece. In his early career he had been a pirate captain, but in either 277 or 276 BC Antigonus Gonatas employed him to overcome the cruel tyrant of Cassandreia, Apollodorus, who had resisted a Macedonian siege for ten months. In 258 BC, a man named Ameinias was archon at Delphi in Phocis, but any connection of this man with the former pirate has not been determined.

  • Ameinias the Phocian (Ancient Greek: Ἀμεινίας) (flourished 277/272 BC) was an ancient Greek pirate and mercenary leader in the service of king Antigonus II Gonatas of Macedon. Ameinias was from the region of Phocis in Central Greece. In his early career he had been a pirate captain, but in either 277 or 276 BC Antigonus Gonatas employed him to overcome the cruel tyrant of Cassandreia, Apollodorus, who had resisted a Macedonian siege for ten months. Ameinias accordingly proceeded to gain the trust of the tyrant, pretending that his role was to reconcile Apollodorus to Antigonus and settle the dispute between them. He also supplied him with provisions and wine and thus convinced him to lower his guard. Meanwhile, Ameinias secretly prepared an army of two thousand men and a group of ten Aetolian pirates under the command of Melatas (or Melotas). Observing that the walls of Cassandreia were thinly guarded, the pirates climbed to the parapet between the towers and fixed the ladders for the two thousand men, who immediately advanced and conquered the city. Ameinias then invited Antigonus to take possession of the conquered city. In 272 BC, Ameinias was still in the service of the Macedonian king, being attested as the garrison commander of Corinth, who led a mercenary force into the Peloponnese to aid the Spartans against king Pyrrhus of Epirus. A year later Ameinias was probably substituted by a new governor, the historian Craterus. In 258 BC, a man named Ameinias was archon at Delphi in Phocis, but any connection of this man with the former pirate has not been determined. (en)

Aminias era de la región de Focea en Grecia Central. Al comienzo de su carrera fue un capitán pirata , obteniendo una gran reputación, y en el año 277 o 276 a. C.., Antígono II le empleó para vencer al tirano Casandrea, Apolodoro, quién había resistido un asedio macedonio de diez meses. Amiinias procedió a ganarse la confianza del tirano, pretendiendo reconciliarle con Antígono y resolver la disputa entre ellos. También le suministró provisiones y vino y así le convenció para bajar su guardia. Entretanto, en secreto, preparó un ejército de dos mil hombres y una fuerza de diez piratas etolios bajo la orden de Melatas (o Melotas). Observando que las murallas de Casandrea estaban apenas defendidas, los piratas subieron al parapeto entre las torres y subieron los dos mil hombres por las escaleras, que inmediatamente avanzaron y conquistaron la plaza. Aminias invitó entonces a Antígono a tomar posesión de la ciudad conquistada. En el año 272 a. C., Aminias siguió al servicio del rey macedonio, siendo nombrado comandante de la guarnición de Corinto. Lideró una fuerza mercenaria al Peloponeso en ayuda de los espartanos en contra del rey Pirro de Epiro. Un año después, Aminias fue probablemente sustituido por un gobernador nuevo, el historiador Crátero, y su nombre no es mencionado con posterioridad. (es)
