                    <TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><text xml:base="urn:cts:pdlrefwk:viaf88890045.003.perseus-eng1"><body xml:lang="eng" n="urn:cts:pdlrefwk:viaf88890045.003.perseus-eng1"><div type="textpart" subtype="alphabetic_letter" n="M"><div type="textpart" subtype="entry" xml:id="menander-bio-1" n="menander_1"><head><persName xml:lang="la"><surname full="yes">Menander</surname></persName></head><p>(<persName xml:lang="grc"><surname full="yes">Μένανδρος</surname></persName>), an Athenian officer
      in the Syracusan expedition, was, together with Euthydemus, associated in the supreme command
      with Nicias, towards the end of the year <date when-custom="-414">B. C. 414</date>. The operations
      of Menander and his colleague Euthvdemus are narrated in the life of the latter. [Vol. II. p.
      123b.] (<bibl n="Thuc. 7.16">Thuc. 7.16</bibl>, <bibl n="Thuc. 7.43">43</bibl>, <bibl n="Thuc. 7.69">69</bibl>; <bibl n="Diod. 13.13">Diod. 13.13</bibl>; Plut. <hi rend="ital">Nicias,</hi> 100.20.) It appears to have been this same Menander whom we find serving under
      Alcibiades in the campaign against Pharnabazus, in the winter of <date when-custom="-409">B. C.
       409</date>-<date when-custom="-408">408</date> (<bibl n="Xen. Hell. 1.2.16">Xen. Hell.
       1.2.16</bibl>), and probably the same who was appointed, with Tydeus and Cephisodotus in
       <date when-custom="-405">B. C. 405</date>, to share the command of the Athenian fleet with the
      generals who had been previously appointed--Conon, Philocles, and Adeimantus. He was therefore
      one of the commanders at the disastrous battle of Aegos-potami; and he and Tydeus are
      especially mentioned as rejecting with contempt the advice of Alcibiades before the battle.
