According to my judgment, the bravest man by far was Aristodemus, who had been reviled and dishonored for being the only man of the three hundred that came alive from +Thermopylae [22.5583,38.8] (Perseus) Thermopylae;[*](Cp. Hdt. 7.231.) next after him in valor were Posidonius, Philocyon, and Amompharetus.
