This name is shared by a rival of Aeschines whose "On the Crown" speech recounts his history of opposing Macedon.
After defeating Eurylochus at the Battle of Olpae, a man of this name allowed his Spartan enemies to escape and get into a squabble with the Ambraciots. In another victory, a commander of this name encircled Epitadas' hoplite unit with redeployed trireme rowers carrying rocks. In 425 B.C., a general of this name fortified Pylos into a safe haven for escaped helots, then won the naval Battle of Pylos to maroon 400 Spartiates on an island in Navarino Bay. That general's capture of those Spartan prisoners at the Battle of Sphacteria forced Sparta to agree to the Peace of Nicias. That general, who was executed with Nicias after the Sicilian Expedition, shares this name with a man who shaved half his head to force himself to stay inside and hone his craft. This name is shared by a rival of Aeschines whose "On the Crown" speech recounts his history of opposing Macedon. For 10 points, give this name shared by an Athenian general and the Greek orator who delivered ten Philippics.
