Abantidas
Abantidas (in Greek Aβαντιδας), the son of Paseas, became tyrant of the ancient Greek city-state of Sicyon after murdering Cleinias, the father of Aratus, 264 BC. He either banished or put to death his friends and relations; Aratus, who was then only seven years old, narrowly escaped death.
