An anecdote about this man claims he freed a house servant dressed in the costume of Dionysius during a choir, because that servant was applauded as a god. After winning a battle at Corinth, this general unwittingly failed to bury two dead men, so he returned to the battlefield, giving up his right to erect a victory trophy. Together with a younger colleague, he secured the ostracism of Hyperbolus. During his best-known battle, he requested a relief force under Demosthenes and Eurymedon, but nonetheless, his co-commander Lamachus was slain and he was captured by Gylippus, who promised to spare his life but failed to do so. This man gives his name to an agreement that ended the Archidamian War, which he negotiated after the Battle of Amphipolis. For 10 points, name this Athenian politician who tried to speak against the Sicilian Expedition, but was opposed by the more brash Alcibiades, then died while leading that expedition.
