ANTALCIDAS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 88 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANTALCIDAS , Spartan soldier and diplomatist. In 393 (or 392 B.c.) he was sent to Tiribazus, satrap of
Sardis
 , to undermine the friendly relations then existing between Athens and Persia by offering to recognize Persian claims to the whole of
Asia
 
Minor
 . The Athenians sent an
embassy
  under
Conon
  to counteract his efforts. Tiribazus, who was favourable to
Sparta
 , threw
Conon
  into prison, but Artaxerxes II. (Mnemon) disapproved and recalled his satrap. In 388 Antalcidas, then
commander
  of the
Spartan
fleet
 , accompanied Tiribazus to the Persian court, and secured the active assistance of Persia against Athens. The success of his naval operations in the neighbourhood of the Hellespont was such that Athens was glad to accept terms of peace (the " Peace of Antalcidas "), by which (I) the whole of
Asia
 
Minor
 , with the islands of Clazomenae and Cyprus, was recognized as subject to Persia, (2) all other'Greek citiesso far as they were not under Persian rulewere to be independent, except Lemnos, Imbros and Scyros, which were to belong, as formerly, to the Athenians. The terms were announced to the Greek envoys at
Sardis
  in the winter 387-386, and were finally accepted by
Sparta
  in 386. Antalcidas continued in favour with Artaxerxes, until the annihilation of Spartan supremacy at
Leuctra
  diminished his influence. A final mission to Persia, probably in 367, was a failure, and Antalcidas, deeply chagrined and fearful of the consequences, is said to have starved himself to death. (See'SPARTA.)
