Eurymedon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 428 BC he was sent by the Athenians to intercept the Peloponnesian fleet which was on the way to attack Corcyra. |
 | | On his arrival, finding that Nicostratus, with a small squadron from Naupactus, had already placed the island in security, he took the command of the combined fleet, which, owing to the absence of the enemy, had no chance of distinguishing itself. |
 | | In the following summer, in joint command of the land forces, he ravaged the district of Tanagra; and in 425 he was appointed, with Sophocles, the son of Sostratides, to the command of an expedition destined for Sicily. |
