Simonides was a Greek magistrate of Cyrene who lived during the 1st century BCE. He was an associate of fellow magistrate Diocles and worked together with him to uncover the corruptions of magistrate Leander.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 48 BCE, Simonides was present in the bathhouse of Alexandria, where he discussed the reign of the Egyptian pharaoh Ptolemy XIII with his fellow colleagues. It was during this time when the Royal Scribe Eudoros was assassinated by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa.[1]
A year later, Simonides worked alongside fellow magistrate Diocles to uncover the corruption of Leander, a third magistrate who had allied himself with Flavius Metellus. Though Simonides went to the party at Leander's Villa in order to find proof of Leander's corruption, he lost himself in the pleasures offered, and the following day fondly reminisced about his acquaintance Ipthos losing his toga.[2]
On Diocles' request, the Medjay Bayek found the drunken Simonides at the tavern and carried him to safety back to Diocles' home. The two learned of Simonides' findings of corruption in Leander's villa, which Bayek agreed to recover to expose Leander to the rest of the magistrates of Cyrene. Once Simonides was sober, he joined Diocles and the rest of the magistrates at the Apollonion of Cyrene, including Leander himself who arrived with soldiers of the Roman proconsul Flavius Metellus.[2]
Once Bayek had arrived with Leander's ledger of corruption, the magistrate attempted to eliminate Simonides and the rest of the magistrates to cover up his crimes. However, Leander and his men were defeated by Bayek and Diocles, saving Simonides' and the magistrates lives.[2]
