	Eurybiades - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eurybiades was the Spartan commander in charge of the Greek navy during the Persian Wars.
		He was the son of Eurycleides, and was chosen as commander in 480 BC because the other Greek city-states did not want to serve under an Athenian, despite the Athenians' superior naval skill.
		After the battle Eurybiades was opposed to chasing the Persian fleet, and also to sailing towards the Hellespont to destroy the bridge of ships that the Persian king Xerxes I had built there.

		Upon this the Greek confederates held a council at the isthmus of Corinth, in which it was resolved to make a stand against the Persians at Thermopylae, and to send the fleet to Artemisium on the northwest coast of Euboea, where it could watch the operations of the forces at Thermopylae.
		Themistocles, who was of the same opinion as Mnesiphilus, prevailed on Eurybiades to hold a fresh council of war, in which Themistocles showed the consequences of the intended movement.
		Eurybiades at last yielded, and it was determined to stay at Salamis.

	Battle of Salamis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fleet was effectively under Themistocles, but nominally led by the Spartan Eurybiades.
		Eurybiades and the Spartans continued to argue with Themistocles about the necessity of fighting at Salamis.
		At one point during the debate, tempers flared so badly that Eurybiades raised his staff of office and threatened to strike Themistocles with it.

	Battle of Salamis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The much larger Persian fleet consisted of 1207 ships, although their original invasion force consisted of many more ships that had since been lost due to storms in the Aegean Sea and at Artemisium.
		The Persians, led by Xerxes I, decided to meet the Athenian fleet off the coast of Salamis Island, and were so confident of their victory that Xerxes set up a throne on the shore to watch the battle and record the names of commanders who performed particularly well.
		During the debate, Themistocles sent an informer, a slave named Sicinnus, to Xerxes to make the Persian king believe that the Greeks had in fact not been able to agree on a location for battle, and would be retreating during the night.

		So when the Euboeans heard what was in debate, they went to Eurybiades, and besought him to wait a few days, while they removed their children and their slaves to a place of safety.
		The admiral was the same who had commanded before, to wit, Eurybiades, the son of Eurycleides, who was a Spartan, but not of the family of the kings: the city, however, which sent by far the greatest number of ships, and the best sailers, was Athens.
		At these words of Themistocles, Eurybiades changed his determination; principally, as I believe, because he feared that if he withdrew the fleet to the Isthmus, the Athenians would sail away, and knew that without the Athenians, the rest of their ships could be no match for the fleet of the enemy.

	The Baldwin Project: Xerxes by Jacob Abbott
		He urged Eurybiades, therefore, very strenuously to call a new council, with a view [251] of reversing the decision that had been made to retire, and of resolving instead to give battle to the Persians at Salamis.
		Then turning to Eurybiades again, Themistocles implored him to remain at Salamis, and give battle to the Persians there, as that was, he said, the only course by which any hope remained to them of the salvation of Greece.
		Eurybiades, the commander-in-chief, if he was not convinced by the arguments that The- [255] mistocles had offered, was alarmed at his declaration that the Athenian ships would abandon the cause of the Greeks if the fleet abandoned Salamis; he accordingly gave his voice very decidedly for remaining where they were.

	Summary of and commentary on Herodotus' Histories, book 8
		However, the Athenians had manned 127 ships and had given 20 ships to the Chalcidians; it was natural that the real commander was Themistocles, the man who had been responsible for the Athenian shipbuilding program (above and above).
		When the Persian fleet arrives at the opposite shore, Eurybiades wants to retreat; but Themistocles -who wants to counter the Persian offensive before it reaches Athens- bribes him to stay.
		Eurybiades and Themistocles know that their 271 ships now face 600 Persian damaged ships, which are waiting passively until the two hundred ships have made their way around Euboea.

	Themistocles biography
		When it was learned that Xerxes was preparing a powerful armament to invade Greece, and the Athenians had been told by the Delphian oracle to defend themselves with the "wooden wall," Themistocles interpreted this answer as referring to the ships of Athens.
		At the battle of Artemisium (480 B.C.) Themistocles, as commander of the Athenian fleet, which was the largest in Greece, consented to fight under the Spartan commander, Eurybiades, but it was only through the former's tact and adroit use of bribes that the Greek commanders were finally induced to make a stand in that place.
		Here again Eurybiades was commander in chief, and here again it was owing to Themistocles alone that the Greeks were induced not to retreat to the Isthmus of Corinth, but to give battle in their present position.

	Themistocles
		Unfortunately, for Themistocles, he was not put in command of the combined Navies of Greece, which included ships from the Aegean and the Peloponnesus, from states including Sparta, Aegineta and Corinth.
		Yet Eurybiades and Themistocles got on fairly well for rivals.
		Eurybiades was intelligent enough to understand that Themistocles was a genius when it came to politics as well as naval warfare.

		The battle of Artemisium, is the first example of Herodotus's analysis of the conflict between Eurybiades the Spartan and Themistocles.
		The final example of conflict occurs after the battle, and Themistocles suggests that the fleet sail to the Hellespont and destroy the bridge.

		Then Themistocles sitting down beside him repeated to him all those things which he had heard Mnesiphilos say, making as if they were his own thoughts, and adding to them many others; until at last by urgent request he persuaded him to come out of his ship and gather the commanders to the council.
		Signifying this he turned then to Eurybiades and spoke yet more urgently: "If thou wilt remain here, and remaining here wilt show thyself a good man, well; but if not, thou wilt bring about the overthrow of Hellas, for upon the ships depends all our power in the war.

		When they could not prevail with him, they tried another way and gave Themistocles, the Athenian admiral, a bribe of thirty talents on the condition that the Greek fleet should remain there and fight, when they fought, to defend Euboea.
		This was the way in which Themistocles made the Greeks stay where they were: he gave Eurybiades for his share five talents of that money, as though he were making the present of his own money.

		Over the whole was set as admiral the same man as at Artemision, namely Eurybiades the son of Eurycleides, a Spartan but not of the royal house; the Athenians however supplied by far the greatest number of ships and those which sailed the best.
		As a prize of valour they gave to Eurybiades a wreath of olive; and for ability and skill they gave to Themistocles also a wreath of olive, and presented him besides with the chariot which was judged to be the best in Sparta.
		So having much commended him, they escorted him on his departure with three hundred picked men of the Spartans, the same who are called the "horsemen,"[90] as far as the boundaries of Tegea: and he is the only man of all we know to whom the Spartans ever gave escort on his way.
