| - Megalees (en llatí Megaleas, en grec antic Μεγαλέας) fou secretari en cap del rei Antígon III Dosó de Macedònia, el qual després va imposar en el mateix càrrec al seu successor Filip V de Macedònia l'any 220 aC. Estava sota influència d'Apel·les i va entrar en els seus designis de traïció, oposats a la guerra contra Etòlia el 218 aC. Aquests plans van fracassar per culpa d'Àrat de Sició, cosa que li va costar a aquest l'enemistat personal de Megalees que, junt amb Crinó, el va atacar a Limnea a l'Acarnània. Aquests fets van portar a la presó a Megalees i a Crinó fins que van aportar garanties de pagament d'una multa de 20 talents. Un altre implicat, Lleonci, es va escapar en el tumult que va portar a la detenció, i va seguir operant lliure i quan Megalees va sortir, junt amb Lleonci, que havia aportat diners per la seva fiança, van iniciar un motí a Corint entre les tropes macedònies, que va ser ràpidament sufocat. Encara que el rei coneixia qui havia estat l'autor del motí, els va permetre als dos conservar el seu rang militar; quan Apel·les va tornar de Calcis, va revelar que havia perdut la confiança del rei i Megalees, alarmat, va fugir a Atenes; refusat l'asil, va anar a Tebes. Des de Tebes va escriure cartes a la Lliga Etòlia incitant a mantenir la guerra amb el Regne de Macedònia, parlant dels abusos de Filip i explicant que havia exhaurit els diners. Les cartes van ser interceptades pel rei macedoni que va enviar al seu oficial Alexandre a Tebes, per demanar a Megalees l'import de la multa o tornar per ser jutjat. Megalees no es va atrevir a presentar-se a judici i es va suïcidar, segons diu Polibi. (ca)
- Megaleas (Ancient Greek: Μεγαλέας) was the royal secretary (basilikos grammateus) to Antigonus III of Macedon, who appointed him, by his will, to the same office under Philip V, his ward and successor (220 BC). Megaleas was entirely under the influence of the advisor Apelles, and readily entered into his treasonable designs (218 BC), to baffle the operations of Philip in his war against the Aetolians. Their treachery, however, was counteracted by Aratus of Sicyon, and the latter accordingly was assailed with personal violence by the royal friends (philoi) Megaleas, Leontius, and Crinon, at Limnaea, in Acarnania, when Philip had returned thither from his successful campaign in Aetolia. For this offence Megaleas and Crinon were thrown into prison 'till they should find security for a fine twenty talents, but Megaleas was released on the bail of Leontius, who had contrived to escape in the tumult for which his accomplices were punished. In the same year (218) Megaleas and Leontius excited a mutiny at Corinth among the troops of Philip. It was soon quelled; and, though the king knew who had been the authors of it, he dissembled his knowledge, and Megaleas and his chief accomplices were still holding high military rank when Apelles returned to court from Chalcis. The reception, however, of the latter proved that he had quite lost his master's confidence, and Megaleas fled in alarm to Athens; and being refused refugee there, betook himself to Thebes. Here he continued his impotent and rancorous course of treason by writing letters to the Aetolians, filled with abuse of Philip, and with strong exhortations to them to persevere in the war against him, as his finances were exhausted. The letters were intercepted and brought to the king, who thereupon despatched Alexander to Thebes, to sue Megaleas for the amount of his fine; and the traitor, not venturing to abide the issue of the trial, put an end to his own life.
