Lead
The revolt he spearheaded was eventually quelled by the Roman Republic in 129 B.C when it dispatched the experienced Marcus Peperna to the region.

Staking his Claim
Though he stipulated that Pergamum and the rest of the Greek cities were exempt from this bequest, it mattered little to the Romans, with Tiberius Gracchus in particular eager to take advantage of this gift to fund his ambitious land reforms. As a result of the turmoil that stemmed from Gracchus encroaching on the prerogative of the Senate by attempting to use his power as the Tribune to allocate the bequest to the funding of his new laws, the Romans were slow in securing their claim.

Revolt
Eumenes’ revolt was met with staunch opposition, coming not only from the Romans but also from the surrounding Greek cities. Indeed, in the earlier stages of the revolt much of the conflict came against the Greek cities of the Anatolian coast. According to Strabo, Eumenes successfully convinced Leucae to revolt and only left the region after being driven out by defeat to the Ephesians in a naval battle off the coast of Cyme. Before being expelled from the area he had taken Samos, Myndus and Colophon in sea raids, and crucially, the Roman consul dispatched to put an end to his revolt, Publius Licinius Crassus Dives Mucianus, was killed after an attempt to take back Leucae. Eumenes then sought support in the interior, promising freedom to both slaves and serfs whom he referred to as ‘Heliopolitae’. It was the serfs, who comprised most of the workers in the interiors, that were more receptive to his message; his message failed to take hold in cities, where the slaves were concentrated. To what extent he was a social revolutionary or simply a dynastic contender to the throne is uncertain. He initially found success in the interior, seizing Thyateira as well as Apollonis. His cause was also furthered by the death of Ariarathes, the king of Cappadocia who, along with Mithridates V of Pontus, Nicomedes II of Bithynia, and Pylaemenes of Paphlagonia, opposed the revolt in the hopes of winning the favor of Rome.

Downfall
Despite these gains, the revolt was a dealt a blow in 130 B.C by the appointment of Crassus’ successor: Marcus Pepernas. The consul had prior experience with putting down slave revolts in Sicily, and the Romans reaped the rewards of this experience with Perpernas, according to Justinus, subduing Eumenes in their first encounter. Though the location of this encounter is disputed, it is thought to be Stratoniceia on the Caicus in Lydia. Here, the revolt came to an end, with Eumenes being starved into submission and sent, alive, to Rome. His most prominent ally, Blossius, intimately aware of the wrath Rome would bring down upon him took his own life. After Eumenes arrived in Rome, he was paraded through the city, then executed by strangulation in the Tullianum prison.

Boedromia
Though Apollo was referred to as Boedromios by the Boeotians as well as other Greeks, the festival was exclusively celebrated by the Athenians. According to Demosthenes, the only classical writer to refer to the festival, it had a military connotation, and thanks the god for his assistance to the Athenians during wars. It could also commemorate a specific intervention at the origin of the festival. Various ancient sources have offered differing accounts on what this intervention may have been. According to Plutarch, Theseus refused to battle against the Amazons until he had sacrificed to Phobos. It is in recognition of the help granted in the ensuing battle that the Athenians celebrate the festival. However, Suidas and Euripedes, the festival's origins lie in the help either Xuthos or his son Ion granted to the Athenians when they were attacked by Eumolpos during the reign of Erechtheus.
