Adeimantus of Corinth

Adeimantus, son of Okytos fled, according to Herodotus (8, 94 ) with the Corinthian contingent commanded by him before the battle of Salamis. However, Herodotus' statement is false, as Adeimantus with his troops to guard the western entrance to the Gulf. Here he also became involved in fights with Persian troops. In the Athenian propaganda he also was (probably wrongly) as an opponent of Themistocles.

Reason for Herodotus poor visibility Adeimantus ' was probably the criticism of his son Aristeas ( Aristaeus ), who was one of the most active opponents of Athens during the Peloponnesian war beginning. 432 BC, he commanded a Corinthian auxiliary corps for the drop-off from Athens city Potidaia. He was later executed by the Athenians.
