Adeimantus of Corinth
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Adeimantus of Corinth (Template:IPAc-en; Template:Langx), son of Ocytus (Ὠκύτος), was the Corinthian commander during the invasion of Greece by Xerxes.[1] Before the Battle of Artemisium (480 BC) he threatened to sail away.
According to the Suda, when Adeimantus called Themistocles a city-less man before the Battle of Salamis (because the Persians had destroyed Athens), Themistocles responded: "Who is city-less, when he has 200 triremes?"[2]
According to the Athenians he took to flight at the very commencement of the battle, but this was denied by the Corinthians and the other Greeks.[3][4]
Adeimantus' son Aristeus was the Corinthian commander at the Battle of Potidaea in 432 BC.[5]
