A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

2. An Achaean, a leader of mercenary troops, who was one of those that took part in the expedition of the younger Cyrus, B. C. 401. He was already serving in Asia when that prince began to assemble his forces, and hastened to join him at Sardis with a body of five hundred heavy armed mercenaries. Of these it is clear that he retained the command throughout the expedition, though his name is not again particularly mentioned until after the battle of Cunaxa, when we find him as one of the generals taking part in the council of war held to deliberate on the overtures made by the Persian king through the medium of Phalinus. He was afterwards one of the four leaders who accompanied Clearchus to the tent of Tissaphernes, when all the five were treacherously seized by that satrap, and subsequently put to death by order of Artaxerxes himself. (Xen. Anab. 1.1.11, 2.3, 2.5.31, 6. §§ 1, 30; Diod. 14.19, 25.)
