Lycortas

Summary

• Lycortas of Megalopolis was a politician of the Achaean League active in the first half of the third century BC, who is now primarily known as the father of the historian Polybius. A political ally of Philopoemen, he shared the latter's view that the Romans should be dealt with according to the strict letter of their treaty with the League, and that no more assistance should be given to them than was absolutely necessary.
