	Theramenes - MSN Encarta
		Theramenes (455?-404 bc), Athenian politician and naval commander during the Peloponnesian War (431-404 bc) between Athens and Sparta.
		Theramenes delayed in signing the surrender for three months, hoping that famine would force the Athenian people, now desperately besieged, to accept the Spartan terms of surrender and himself as leader of a new government.
		Theramenes was relatively moderate in comparison with the other tyrants, who ruled Athens by terror.

		Theramenes in reply brought out the implied contradiction in these statements, and in consequence the assembly condemned the accused to death and subsequently returned Theramenes general.
		Late in 405 Theramenes went as plenipotentiary to Lysander to obtain peace terms; after long negotiations he proceeded to Sparta and arranged a settlement which the Athenians ratified (April 404).
		In this body Theramenes at first assumed the chief part, and the new measures rescinding the laws against the Areopagus and suppressing sycophancy were well received.

	Theramenes
		Theramenes first appeared on the Athenian political scene in 411 BC as a member of the oligarchic movement that overthrew the Athenian democracy and replaced it with a government known as the 400.
		Theramenes returned to the spotlight in 406 BC, when, as a trierarch at the Battle of Arginusae, he, along with his fellow trierarch Thrasybulus, was placed in charge of rescuing Athenian sailors from damaged ships.
		Theramenes rose to prominence again in the wake of Athens' defeat at Aegospotami in 405 BC, when he became the principal Athenian negotiator of the peace that ended the Peloponnesian War.

		A second treaty, however, more stringent than the former, was made with the satrap, after which Theramenes delivered up the fleet to Astyochus, and sailed away in a small vessel; and the language of Thu-cydides seems to mean that he was drowned on the voyage.
		In the subsequent deposition of the 400, Theramenes of course took a prominent part, and in particular came forward as the accuser of Antiphon and Archeptolemus, who had been his intimate friends, but whose death he was now the mean and cowardly instrument in procuring (Thuc.
		406, Theramenes held a subordinate command in the right wing of the Athenian fleet, and he was one of those who, after the victory, were commissioned by the generals to repair to the scene of action and save as many as possible of the disabled galleys and their crews.

		But before it could be carried into effect it was superseded by a " provisional constitution," which gave un- limited power to a boule of 400 (chosen by a roundabout system which favored intrigue) and its nominees, the ten " absolute " generals.
		Late in 405 Theramenes went as plenipotentiary to Lysander (q.v.) to obtain peace terms; after long negotiations he proceeded to Sparta and arranged a settlement which the Athenians ratified (April 404).

		Theramenes, son of Hagnon, of the deme Steiria, was one of the leading Athenian politicians and generals in the closing years of the Peloponnesian War.
		In 411 B.C. he was one of the four men most responsible, in Thucydides' judgment, for the overthrow of democracy at Athens, but a few months later took a part second to none in overthrowing the oligarchy of the Four Hundred; his conduct won him the nickname of "kothornos," the boot that fits either foot.
		The notion that Theramenes was a champion of restoring the "ancestral constitution" is found in Aristotle and Diodorus, but not in any of the contemporary sources.

	Battle of Cyzicus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the battle, an Athenian fleet commanded by Alcibiades, Thrasybulus, and Theramenes routed and completely destroyed a Spartan fleet commanded by Mindarus.
		The Persian troops under Pharnabazus, however, entered the fighting on the shore and began to drive the Athenians, who were outnumbered and fighting against opponents on firmer ground, into the sea.
		For a time, Thrasybulus and Alcibiades were both driven back by superior forces, but the arrival of Theramenes and Chaereas turned the tide; the Spartans and Persians were defeated, Mindarus was killed.

		And when Theramenes was to be apprehended by the order of the Thirty Tyrants, and flying for succor to the altar of the senate, only Isocrates stood his friend, when all others were struck with terror.
		For a long time he stood silent; but after some time Theramenes advised him to desist, because, he told him, it would be an aggravation of his grief, if any of his friends should come into trouble through him.
		When Isocrates was come to man's estate, he meddled with nothing of state affairs, both because he had a very weak voice and because he was something timorous; and besides these two impediments, his estate was much impaired by the loss of a great part of his patrimony in the war with the Lacedaemonians.

		[2.4.1] So, then, Theramenes died; but the Thirty,1 thinking that now they could play the tyrant without fear, issued a proclamation forbidding those who were outside the roll to enter the city and evicted them from their estates, in order that they themselves and their friends might have these people's lands.

	Socrates
		As the scope of the government's executions widened to include detractors, and a select citizen roll of 3,000 was named, and all others disarmed, a moderate member of the Thirty, Theramenes, objected to the wanton killings and found himself taken captive at Critias' instigation.
		Socrates, and two young men with him, were said to have attempted to intervene unarmed against the Scythian guards, stopped only when Theramenes himself implored them to desist (Diodorus Siculus 14.5.1-3, likely apocryphal).
		The Thirty, now increasingly referred to as an oligarchy, were also making contingency plans: they sent forces to secure the deme of Eleusis for themselves by putting to death the population on charges of supporting democracy (Xenophon, Hellenica 2.4.8-10; Diodorus Siculus 14.32.5).
