This man's father, who led the settlers who founded the city of Amphipolis, was named Hagnon. This man garrisoned a fort at Chrysopolis and collected a customs duty of one-tenth on every ship that passed through the Bosporus. He strongly opposed the construction of a fortification at Eetioneia at the entrance to the harbor of Piraeus, because he figured it was a ploy to hand the city over to the Spartans. This man and Thrasybulus snuck up behind a fleet commanded by Mindarus at the Battle of Cyzicus, and along with Aristocrates, he led the moderate faction in the Four Hundred. This second most-famous person to die from drinking hemlock turned against six (*) generals accused of negligence for failing to rescue sailors of sunken triremes in the aftermath of the Battle of Arginusae. This man was betrayed by his ally Critias, with whom he headed up a pro-Spartan oligarchy.
