(450?-404 BCE) An Athenian politician and general.
Alkibiades was admired and despised by the Athenians who alternatively trusted and denounced him during the course of his remarkable public career.
His military accomplishments against the Spartans at Potidaea and Delium led to his election to the post of strategos circa 420 BCE but his desecration of a monument to Hermes (the Hermae) earned him a death sentence.
Alkibiades fled Athens and lived in Sparta where he aided the Spartans in their continuing war against the Athenians; circa 407 BCE he was invited back to Athens as a military commander but he was never able to regain his former prestige and soon retired; he was assassinated by the Persians circa 404 BCE.
