	Iphicrates - LoveToKnow 1911
		IPHICRATES, Athenian general, son of a shoemaker, flourished in the earlier half of the 4th century B.C. He owes his fame as much to the improvements which he made in the accoutrements of the peltasts or light-armed mercenaries (so called from their small round shield, 7r0Tn) as to his military successes.
		With his peltasts Iphicrates seriously injured the allies of the Lacedaemonians in the Corinthian War, and in 392 (or 390) dealt the Spartans a heavy blow by almost annihilating a snora (battalion of about 600 men) of their famous hoplites (Diod.
		On the peace of 371, Iphicrates returned to Thrace, and somewhat tarnished his fame by siding with his father-in-law Cotys in a war against Athens for the possession of the entire Chersonese.

	Timotheus (Statesman) - LoveToKnow 1911
		In the course of the Social War Timotheus was despatched with Iphicrates, Menestheus, son of Iphicrates, and Chares to put down the revolt.
		The hostile fleets sighted each other in the Hellespont; but a gale was blowing, and Iphicrates and Timotheus decided not to engage.
		Iphicrates, who had fewer enemies than Timotheus, was acquitted; but Timotheus, who had always been disliked for his arrogance, was condemned to pay a very heavy fine.

	Iphicrates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Iphicrates, the Athenian, gained renown by his great deeds, but still more by his knowledge the art of war; for not only was he a leader comparable with the greatest of his own time, but not even among the men of earher days was there anyone who surpassed him.
		Iphicrates, when campaigning in Thrace, having on one occasion pitched his camp on low ground, discovered through scouts that the neighbouring hill was held by the enemy, and that from it came down a single road which might be utilised to overwhelm him and his men.
		When Iphicrates learned at Ace that two officers were traitors, he called his best men and ordered them, as soon as he summoned the men suspected of treason and inquired about the matter, to seize their arms and the arms of the companies they commanded.

	Battle of Lechaeum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the battle, the Athenian general Iphicrates took advantage of the fact that a Spartan hoplite regiment operating near Corinth was moving in the open without the protection of any missile throwing troops.
		The Spartans and the exiles, meanwhile, raided Corinthian territory from Lechaeum, and in 391 BC King Agesilaus led a large Spartan army to the area and attacked a number of strong points, winning a number of successes.
		The Athenian commanders in the city, Iphicrates, who commanded the peltasts, and Callias, who commanded the hoplites, saw that an entire Spartan mora, or regiment, of 600 men was marching past the city unprotected by either peltasts or cavalry, and decided to take advantage of this fact.

	The Guild - Hoplites Outdated?
		It is worth mentioning that the Iphicrates' hoplite used a small shield strapped to the wrist and neck, and a two-hand grip on his 12ft spear.
		Iphicrates rearmed his peltasts while serving as a mercenary commander for Persia, in Egypt to meet a specific tactical need.
		The problem with both is that they are late historians, and hardly considered the A team of ancient historians at that (and neither have as far as I know the military experience of say Arrian to add credibility to their statements with respect to military equipment).

	Comparing the Land & Sea Battles of Ramses III with those of Nectanebo I
		Iphicrates was probably sent out to Persia about the time Chabrias was elected general.
		For Iphicrates, learning from the captives that Memphis,(2) the most strategically situated of the Egyptian cities, was undefended, advised sailing immediately up to Memphis before the Egyptian forces arrived there, but Pharnabazus thought they should await the entire Persian force; for in this way the campaign against Memphis would be less dangerous.
		Consequently, on their way back to Asia, when a disagreement arose between him and Pharnabazus, Iphicrates, suspecting that he might be arrested and punished as Conon(4) the Athenian had been, decided to flee secretly from the camp.

	Hellenica - Chapter V
		It cannot be said that the Lacedaemonians were ignorant of the large number of light troops and heavy infantry inside Corinth, but owing to their former successes they arrogantly presumed that no one would attack them.
		Within the capital of the Corinthians, however, their scant numbers--a thin line of heavy infantry unsupported by light infantry or cavalry-- had been noted; and Callias, the son of Hipponicus,[16] who was in command of the Athenian hoplites, and Iphicrates at the head of his peltasts, saw no risk in attacking with the light brigade.
		Since if the enemy continued his march by the high road, he would be cut up by showers of javelins on his exposed right flank; or if he were tempted to take the offensive, they with their peltasts, the nimblest of all light troops, would easily slip out of the grasp of his hoplites.

	About Synchronized Ancient History
		The Athenians, being eager to gain the favor of the Persian King and to incline Pharnabazus to themselves, quickly recalled Chabrias from Egypt and dispatched Iphicrates as general to act in alliance with the Persians.
		, Iphicrates, perceiving that though in talk he was clever, he was sluggish in action, frankly told him that he marveled that anyone so quick in speech could be so dilatory in action.
		Impecunious cities raised whole contingents, such as that sent by Chabrias to Egypt to fight against the Persians, or under Iphicrates to fight for the Persians against the Greeks.

	Hellenica - Chapter II
		The rumour spread that Iphicrates would soon be there--he was even at the doors; and in fact the Corcyraeans themselves were manning a fleet.
		So again, in the matter of outposts, if he chanced to be getting the morning meal on hostile territory, pickets would be posted, as was right and proper, on the land; but, apart from these, he would raise his masts and keep look-out men on the maintops.
		Thus he encountered the ships of Iphicrates, but contrived to slip through his fingers, while the whole of the Syracusan vessels were captured, crews and all.

	Nectanebo I
		His army was reinforced with Greek mercenaries, commanded by the Athenian Iphicrates (Spring 373).
		Their advance to Egypt was uneventful, which suggests that Nectanebo did not possess a navy that could attack the Persians during their five days' march through the desert between Gaza and Pelusium (i.e., Port Said).
		Nectanebo was able to reinforce Memphis, and in July, his enemies were forced to retreat: because of the Nile inundation, the Delta had become one great swamp.

	Spartan Hoplites; phalanx? - The Guild (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The inventors have been said to be Pheidon of Argos (hoplite phalanx) and Iphicrates and/or Phillip of Macedon (Macedonain Phalanx).
		Iphicrates adopted longer spears ~3-3.6 m, smaller shields, and lighter gear to create a light hoplite with greater reach and mobility (some time after 390 BC.) Leuctra was in 371 BC, Philip came to power only 12 years later, but his phalanx differed in spear/pike length.
		I'm not sure that there is agreement on whether Iphicrates' hoplites used their longer spears as single handed or as two handed weapons.
