A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

(Κλεανδρίδας), a Spartan, father of Gylippus, who having been appointed by the ephors as counsellor to Pleistoanax in the invasion of Attica, B. C. 445, was said to have been bribed by Pericles to withdraw his army. He was condemned to death, but fled to Thurii, and was there received into citizenship. (Plut. Per. 22, Nic. 28; Thuc. 6.104, 93, 7.2; Diod. 13.106, who calls him Clearchus.) He afterwards commanded the Thurians in their war against the Tarentines. (Strab. vi. p.264, who calls him Cleandrias.)
