Hegesandridas[1] or Agesandridas[2] {Gr. Ἡγησανδρίδας or Ἀγησανδρίδας), son of a "Hegesander" or "Agesander", perhaps the same who is mentioned as a member of the last Spartan embassy sent to Athens before the Peloponnesian War,[3] was himself a Spartan general in that war. The Ancient Greek language is the historical stage in the development of the Hellenic language family spanning the Archaic (c The city of Sparta ( Doric Σπάρτα Attic Σπάρτη A diplomatic mission is a group of people from one State or an international Inter-governmental organization (such as the United Nations) present in Athens (ˈæθənz Αθήνα Athina,) the Capital and largest city of Greece, dominates the Attica periphery as one of the world's [4] In 411 BC he was placed in command of a fleet of 42 ships destined to further a revolt in Euboea.

Further intelligence that the same fleet had sailed over from Megara to Salamis coincided again with the riot in Piraeus, and was held to be certain proof of the allegation of Theramenes. Megara ( Greek:, "Big Houses" is an ancient city (pop [5]

Thucydides thinks it possible that the movement was really made in concert with the Athenian oligarchs, but far more probable that Hegesandridas was merely prompted by an indefinite hope of profiting by the existing dissensions. Thucydides ( C 460 BC &ndash C 395 BC) ( Greek Θουκυδίδης Thoukydídēs) was a Greek His ulterior design was soon seen to be Euboea; the fleet doubled Sunium, and finally came to harbor at Oropos in September of 411 BC.

The naval Battle of Eretria, between Sparta and Athens, took place in September 411 BC off the coast of Euboea. [6] But the new crews were inexperienced and poorly equipped; a stratagem of the Eretrians kept the soldiers at a distance, at the very moment when, in obedience to a signal from the town, the Spartan admiral moved to attack. This is an article about the Greek city of Eretria on Euboea It should not be confused with Eretria in western Magnesia, Greece or the modern African nation [7] He obtained an easy victory: the Athenians lost 22 ships, and all of Eu­boea, except Oreus, revolted. Oreus was a town in northern Euboea. Demosthenes describes its conquest by Philip II of Macedon in the Third Philippic. Rebellion is a refusal of obedienceIt may therefore be seen as encompassing a range of Behaviours from Civil disobedience and mass Nonviolent resistance Extreme conster­nation seized the city. Athens, Thucydides adds, had now once again to thank their enemy's tardiness. Thucydides ( C 460 BC &ndash C 395 BC) ( Greek Θουκυδίδης Thoukydídēs) was a Greek Had the victors attacked Piraeus, either the city would have fallen victim to its distractions, or by the recall of the fleet from Asia, every thing except Attica been placed in their hands. Attica (Αττική Attikí;) is a periphery (subdivision in Greece, containing Athens, the capital of Greece [8]

Hegesandridas was content with his previous success. However, after the Spartan defeat at Cynossema, Hegesandridas was ordered to reinforce the Hellespontine fleet under the Spartan admiral Mindarus. See also Dardanelles Hellespont ( Turkish, Greek; ie "Sea of Helle" variously named in classical literature Hellespontium Pelagus Mindarus was a Spartan Admiral who commanded the Peloponnesian fleet in 411 and 410 BC during the Peloponnesian War. Fifty of Hegesandridas' ships (partly Euboean) were dispatched, and all were lost in a storm off Athos; so relates Ephorus. Mount Athos (Όρος Άθως is a mountain on the Peninsula of the same name in Macedonia, of northern Greece, called in Greek Άγιον Ephorus or Ephoros ( Ancient Greek:, c 400 - 330 BC) of Cyme in Aeolia, in Asia [9]

On the news of this disaster, Hegesandridas appears to have sailed with what ships he could gather to the Hellespont.
