      vice-admiral under Hieax and Antalcidas successively, in <date when-custom="-388">B. C. 388</date>.
      When Hierax sailed to Rhodes to carry on the war there, he left Gorgopas with twelve ships at
      Aegina, to act against the Athenians, who, under Pamphilus, had possessed themselves of a fort
      in the island, and who were soon reduced to such distress, that a powerful squadron of ships
      was despatched from Athens to convey them home. Gorgopas and the Aeginetan privateers now
      renewing their attacks on the Athenian coast, <hi rend="smallcaps">EUNOMUS</hi> was sent out
      to act against then. Meanwhile, Antalcidas superseded Hierax in the command of the fleet, and
      being entrusted also with a mission to the Persian court, was escorted by Gorgopas as far as
      Ephesus. Gorgopas, returning hence to Aegina, fell in with the squadron of Eunomus, and
      succeeded in capturing four of his triremes off Zoster in Attica. [See Vol. II. p. 95a.] Soon
      after this, however, Chabrias landed in Aegina, on his way to Cyprus to aid Evagoras against
      the Persians, and defeated the Spartans by leans of an ambuscade, Gorgopas being slain in the
      battle. (<bibl n="Xen. Hell. 5.1">Xen. Hell. 5.1</bibl>. §§ 1-12; <bibl n="Polyaen. 3.10">Polyaen. 3.10</bibl>; Dem. <hi rend="ital">c. Lept.</hi> p. 479, ad fin.) </p><byline>[<ref target="author.E.E">E.E</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
