Euryptolemus

Family: Athenians · Role: representative · First appears: Book 1, section 3

At Chalcedon and Chrysopolis in Book 1, section 3, Euryptolemus represented Alcibiades in the exchange of oaths with Pharnabazus. He was among Athens’s representatives, and Pharnabazus took his oath in Euryptolemus’s presence.

Later, in Athens, Euryptolemus and others indicted Callixenus’s proposal as unconstitutional. When Lysicus proposed trying the challengers alongside the generals, they were forced to abandon their summonses. In the assembly, Euryptolemus argued for separate trials under the decree of Cannonus and proposed an amendment to that effect; after Menecles challenged the first count, the assembly chose the senate’s resolution instead. During his speech, he described Diomedon as his friend and Pericles as a close relation.
