1. An Athenian, son of Aeschreas, was the first Greek who captured a Persian ship at
Artemisium, in B. C. 480, on which occasion he gained the prize of
valour. (Her. 8.11.) He was perhaps the same as the father of the Athenian general
Archestratus, mentioned by Thucydides (1.57). Lycomedes was also
the name of the father of Cleomedes, one oh' the Athenian commanders against Melos in B. C. 416. (Thuc. 5.84.)
