He plays an important part in Plato's ''Republic'' and is mentioned in the '' Apology'' and ''Parmenides'' dialogues.

Before the Battle of Artemisium (480 BC) he threatened to sail away. According to Suda, when Adeimantus called Themistocles a city-less man before the Battle of Salamis (because the Persians had destroyed Athens), the Themistocles responded: "Who is city-less, when he has 200 triremes?" 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.

Adeimantus (son Of Leucolophides)
Adeimantus (; grc, Ἀδείμαντος), son of Leucolophides (Λευκολοφίδης) of the deme Scambonidai (Σκαμβονιδαι), was a friend of Alcibiades. His career closely paralleled that of his famous associate. His dates are undocumented, but he was probably born in the 450s BCE and lived at least to 393 BCE. Early Life The first we hear of Adeimantus is in Plato's ''Protagoras'', where he is among those present at the house of Callias, son of Hipponicus, on a day in 433 to meet and talk with the visiting philosophers staying there. He does not speak, but listens in with several other young men, including Alcibiades and the sons of Pericles, while Socrates and Protagoras have an extended discussion about sophists and their teaching. Scandals of 415 and Exile In the spring of 415, just before Athens was about to launch the disastrous expedition to Sicily, the city was rocked by two scandals. In the first, statues of Hermes scattered throughout the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
