      Xenophon. When the war, which broke out between Elis and Arcadia, in <date when-custom="-365">B. C.
       365</date>, on the subject of the Triphylian towns, had rendered a residence at Scillus no
      longer safe, Gryllus and his brother Diodorus were sent by Xenophon to Lepreum for security.
      Here he himself soon after joined them, and went with them to Corinth. [<hi rend="smallcaps">XENOPHON.</hi>] Both the young men served with the Athenian cavalry at the battle of
      Mantineia, in <date when-custom="-362">B. C. 362</date>, where Gryllus was slain fighting bravely.
      It was he, according to the account of the Athenians and Thebans, who gave Epaminondas his
      mortal wound, and he was represented in the act of inflicting it in a picture of the battle by
      Euphranor in the Cerameicus. The Mantineians also, though they ascribed the death of
      Fpaminondas to Machaerion, yet honoured Gryllus with a public funeral and an equestrian
      statue, and reverenced his memory, as the bravest of all who fought on their side at
      Mantineia. According to Diogenes Laertius, he was celebrated after his death in numberless
      epigrams and panegyrics. (<bibl n="D. L. 2.52">D. L. 2.52</bibl>_<bibl n="D. L. 2.55">55</bibl>; <bibl n="Xen. Hell. 7.4.12">Xen. Hell. 7.4.12</bibl>, <hi rend="ital">Anab.</hi>
