Aristides

Aristides ( ; Ancient Greek: Ἀριστείδης, romanized: Aristeídēs, Attic Greek:; 530–468 BC) was an ancient Athenianstatesman. Nicknamed "the Just" (δίκαιος, díkaios), he flourished at the beginning of Athens' Classical period and is remembered for his generalship in the Persian War. The ancient historian Herodotus cited him as "the best and most honourable man in Athens", and he received similarly reverent treatment in Plato's Socratic dialogues.
