Artaxerxes defeated Sparta at sea and imposed the Peace of Antalcidas on Greece.(Artaxerxes · 📍 Cnidos)
- With: Artaxerxes Pharnabazus Conon
- “Artaxerxes, however, defeating the Lacedaemonians in a sea-fight at Cnidos, under the conduct of Pharnabazus and Conon, after he had stripped them of their sovereignty by sea, at the same time, brought, so to say, the whole of Greece over to him, so that upon his own terms he dictated the celebrated peace among them, styled the peace of Antalcidas.”

with Agesilaus (interaction) “And this is what Agesilaus was much blamed for, a long time after; it being thought, that, by his continual incursions into Boeotia, he made the Thebans a match for the Lacedaemonians; and therefore Antalcidas, seeing him wounded one day, said to him, that he was very well paid for taking such pains to make the Thebans good soldiers, whether they would or no.”

with Artaxerxes (interaction) “Of all other Greeks he had been thought to have done Antalcidas, the Spartan, the greatest honor, by sending him that garland dipped in an unguent, which he himself had worn at an entertainment.”

patron: Artaxerxes “Artaxerxes, though always abominating other Spartans, and looking upon them, as Dinon says, to be the most impudent men living, gave wonderful honor to Antalcidas when he came to him into Persia”
child: Leon “This Antalcidas was a Spartan, the son of one Leon”
friends with Artaxerxes “Artaxerxes continued to Antalcidas the honor of being called his friend and his guest”
