EURYMEDON

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 953 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
EURYMEDON , one of the Athenian generals during the Peloponnesian War. In 428 B.C. he was sent by the Athenians to intercept the Peloponnesian
fleet
  which was on the way to attack Corcyra. On his arrival, finding that Nicostratus with a small
squadron
  from Naupactus had already placed the
island
  in security, he took the command of the combined
fleet
 , which, owing to the
absence
  of the enemy, had no chance of distinguishing itself. In the following summer, in
joint
  command of the land forces, he ravaged the
district
  of Tanagra; and in 425 he was appointed, with Sophocles, the son of Sostratides, to the command of an expedition destined for Sicily. Having touched at Corcyra on the way, in order to assist the democratic party against the oligarchical exiles, but without taking any steps to prevent the massacre of the latter, Eurymedon proceeded to Sicily. Immediately after his arrival a pacification was concluded by Hermocrates, to which Eurymedon and Sophocles were induced to agree. The terms of the pacification did not, however, satisfy the Athenians, who attributed its conclusion to bribery; two of the
chief
  agents in the negotiations were banished, while Eurymedon was sentenced to pay a heavy fine. In 414 Eurymedon, who had been sent with
Demosthenes
  to reinforce the Athenians at the siege of Syracuse, was defeated and slain before reaching land (
Thucydides
  iii., iv., vii.; Diod. Sic. xiii. 8, 11, 13).953
